[trip style = luxury]
One reason I love having Trip Styler as my near and dear travelog is because I have the honor of detailing trips that are worth the journey AND bringing you along {an opp I don't take lightly}. Over my Trip Styling span, a few airlines, hotels, restaurants and experiences have stood out:
- Bonaire: Learning how to windsurf from the World Jr. Champ {and only finding out about his title mid-lesson} in a salt-water lagoon
- Italy: Discovering an island full of thermal springs and gorgeous everything
- Thailand: Glamping in the Golden Triangle at an elephant conservancy
- Canada: Catching a salmon and eating it for dinner at a remote fishing lodge
- Dubai: Indulging in a hammam treatment at one of the Middle East's most spectacular spas
- Morocco: Stand-up paddling at the edge of Sahara Desert where its dunes meet the Atlantic Ocean's edge
- Austin, TX: Eating up the incredible food and restaurant design that add spice to the it city
- Lanai: Exploring my spirit hotel and island
- Hong Kong, London and Dubai: Flying 'high' with airlines such Cathay Pacific, Virgin Atlantic and Emirates which excel at service and style
I started recalling my travel wow moments when I saw a video made by Casey Neistat, a "power" YouTuber with more than 4.7 million followers. He just flew Emirates' business class for the first time and documented the whole thing. His reel reminded me of everything I loved about my Emirates travel wow experience—mattress on the life-flat seat when you go to bed, Godiva chocolates at turndown, in-seat massage modules—and why I'm saving my Alaska Airlines points for a business class ticket with Emirates {an Alaska partner} to the Maldives.
Please enjoy his travel wow moment, and remember: If you ever save your airmiles or splurge on a special ticket, never {EVER} go to the airplane's bar in socks {like Casey}.
