Marina Efraimoglou of Euphoria Retreat

1 week ago | yolojournal.com | Alex Postman

A couple of years back, I was lucky enough to stay at Euphoria Retreat in Mystras, in Greece’s central Peloponnese. While the spa has all of the requisite treatments, hammams and plunge pools, I loved how tied to the outdoors and history it felt—we took long hikes through the pine-scented mountains overlooking nearby Sparta, occasionally passing tiny abandoned but elaborately painted Byzantine chapels and spigots of icy mountain water.

We’ve worked with our friend Ngoc Minh Ngo for years. She was a colleague of Yolanda’s at Martha Stewart, and Linda at Domino. Best known for her botanical and garden photography (her books include Eden Revisited and In Bloom), she has a luminous, almost ethereal style that gives her work a beautiful painterly quality.
Melissa Martin of Mosquito Supper Club

New Orleans is a food city, but it’s also a city with its share of touristy food gimmickry if you don’t know where to look. Melissa Martin’s Mosquito Supper Club in the Garden District, which serves up food from her bayou upbringing, is very much the real deal.

Tell us about you and your company. I started Up Norway in 2016 with the goal of offering Norway to international travelers in a more interesting way than what was currently being done. While what was offered was mainly based around Oslo, the Northern Lights and Hurtigruten, and marketing was based on geography, I wanted to build concepts around people’s unique interests and introduce them to the best of Norway, which I felt was currently not being sold.

Tell us about you and your company. I grew up on my family’s ranch in Patagonia, immersed in nature with activities like horseback riding, fly fishing, swimming, skiing on the lake, and hiking in the surrounding mountains. I loved outdoor camping and spending nights under the trees. After studying fashion design and photography in Los Angeles, I moved to Toronto, where I worked in operations and guided tours for Butterfield & Robinson.

By Yolanda EdwardsFor years, I’ve heard friends go on about how amazing Tuscia is—just north of Rome, it’s part of Lazio but named for its role as the Etruscan stronghold of the region. I’d been to one of my favorite hillside towns, Orvieto, many times; Bomarzo, the 16th-century surreal “monster garden” park; the raised Renaissance gardens at Castello Ruspoli; and spent a night at the lovely Villa Tirrena—usually on route to Tuscany, Umbria, or anywhere north.

We’re still hard at work on our website replatforming, so we’re sharing some more Guest Books that we prepped for the new site, this time in Greece! Also, we got our friend who is an archaeologist and licensed guide in Athens to drill down on exactly how to time a visit to the Acropolis, plus an interview with the founders of The Cycladist, a travel agency that curates bespoke travel experiences in the Cyclades, filled with insider intel on less-touristed islands.
“Unpick one piece and the whole thing falls apart”: navigating the winding waterways of the Okavango Delta during a tumultuous time for the majestic ecosystem

Apr 20, 2024 | cntraveller.com | Alex Postman

It seems, on some level, like an impossibility – a mirage. Hundreds of trickling streams in the semi-arid highlands of Angola join forces with two mighty rivers that flow through Namibia and into Botswana, then spill into a 4,630-square-mile fan-shaped wetland, before vanishing into the sands of the Kalahari Desert. Poof. Or maybe it’s more like a miracle.
An epic journey across Botswana's Okavango Delta

It seems, on some level, like an impossibility – a mirage. Hundreds of trickling streams in the semi-arid highlands of Angola join forces with two mighty rivers that flow through Namibia and into Botswana, then spill into a 12,000-square- kilometre fan-shaped wetland, before vanishing into the sands of the Kalahari Desert. Or maybe it’s more like a miracle.
