Today we’re venturing into the Atlantic, making stops on the islands of The Azores and Madeira. Imagine stunning verdant volcanic landscapes, dramatic coastal cliffs, and temperate weather all year round. Don’t forget incredible food and a unique expression of Portuguese culture.

My guests today are Filipe Fraga from Madeira and Beatriz Sousa from The Azores. We chat about the differences and commonalities between these two destinations, the unique environment, and the authentic experiences offered by each. If you’re looking for a unique destination in Europe, either of these destinations will be sure to impress.

Welcome to the 2024 besties episode of Luxury Travel Insider. I’ve invited two of my best friends, Kristen Sandvig and Hao Tang, to join me to dish on all things travel.

All three of us are professional travelers, spending up to a third of our years out of the country. It’s our job to be discerning… and maybe a little snobby!

So, in this unfiltered conversation you’ll hear our opinions on everything from hotels, to interesting experiences, airports, pet peeves and more. There’ll be a lot of laughing and some great insights and travel tips.

Before we dive in, I want to thank you for being a part of our community, for listening, for sending me your feedback, for working with Bell & Bly Travel for your luxury travel needs. It’s truly an honor to inspire you to travel the world and I’m looking forward to many more chats in 2025.
