Every now and then, a story stops me in my tracks. This month, it was a BBC feature about Sweden — the country where doctors are now prescribing travel as part of holistic wellness care.

The idea is simple but powerful: that time in nature, connection, curiosity, and perspective can heal in ways no pill can. It’s a reminder that travel isn’t just escape — it’s therapy for the soul.
I’ve seen this firsthand. Recently, I shared a reel about one of my clients heading to Fogo Island Inn, a place that has transformed travelers — and me — for years.
🌊 There are places you visit — and then there are places that change you.
Fogo Island, perched at one of the four corners of the Earth, is luxury with soul. Waves crash beneath your window as you dine on local seafood and foraged ingredients that tell the story of Newfoundland itself — my own home province. But what truly makes it special is that every stay gives back: 100% of the inn’s operating surpluses are reinvested into the community through the Shorefast Foundation.
That’s not just wellness travel — that’s purposeful restoration.
And sometimes, the moment of wellness comes in simpler forms. Like a recent stopover in Brussels, where I couldn’t resist indulging in warm Belgian waffles and chocolate between flights. ✈️🍫 (See Spotlight section below.)
A reminder that joy — even in small bites — nourishes us too.From Sweden’s nature prescriptions, to Newfoundland’s soulful coastlines, to the sweet pause of a Belgian layover… it all speaks to one truth:
Travel is how we reset, reconnect, and remember what matters most.
If you’re ready to experience travel as part of your own wellness journey — whether it’s a mindful retreat, a restorative river cruise, or simply a destination that helps you breathe deeper — let’s craft something extraordinary together.
