If you're craving crisp air, jaw-dropping scenery, and a front-row seat to some of the most majestic wildlife on earth, let me point you due north—Alaska is calling.

From my first step off the plane, Alaska didn’t whisper adventure—it shouted it. Towering glaciers. Breaching humpbacks. Bald eagles soaring across endless sky. It’s no exaggeration to say this place feels epic in every way.
​
But here's the beauty: whether you want to spend a full day winding through the wilderness by rail or just hop on a half-day whale watching cruise, Alaska’s tours make it easy to experience the magic on your own terms.

3 Hour Whale Watch
Set out on a 3-hour whale watching cruise and witness Alaska’s majestic marine life up close. Spot humpback whales, orcas, sea lions, and bald eagles, all against the stunning backdrop of glaciers and rugged coastline. Perfect for nature lovers and photography enthusiasts alike.

Icefield Glacier Walk + Helicopter Ride Shore Excursion
Experience Alaska’s frozen frontier from the sky and the surface with the Icefield Glacier Walk + Helicopter Ride Shore Excursion. Soar over the stunning Juneau Icefields with an expert pilot, taking in sweeping views of snow-capped peaks and crevassed glaciers. Then, touch down for a guided walk on the glacier itself—an unforgettable adventure through blue ice and natural wonder.

Best of all? These aren’t just sights to check off a list.
They’re the kind of moments that linger long after you’ve returned home.

Hey there, fellow travelers! Long flights can be tough, but who says you can't pamper yourself even if you're not flying first class? In 2024, I took my longest non-stop flight ever from Dallas to Sydney, and I managed to make the journey pretty comfy. Here’s how I did it and how you can too!

Arrive Early and Indulge
Why rush? Get to the airport 3 hours early. This gives you time to relax, maybe grab a lounge pass or treat yourself to a nice meal. It's a great way to kick off your trip on the right foot.

DIY First-Class Amenity Kit
Make your own little luxury kit! Here’s what you need...

• Notepad and Pen: Great for jotting down random thoughts or doodles.
• Eye Mask and Ear Plugs: Absolute lifesavers for some quality zzz's.
• Collapsible Water Bottle: Keep hydrated without constantly waiting for the beverage cart.
• Neck Pillow: Because comfort is everything.
• Yummy Snacks: Jason and I love chocolates, so we bring a selection and have little tasting sessions. You can do the same with chips, cookies, or spicy snacks. Make it fun!

Entertainment is Key
Load your phone with everything you need...

• Movies and Shows: Download a bunch of fave's.
• Language Packs: Why not brush up on a new language?
• Music: Get your favorite tunes and some calming music too.
• Calm App: Sleep stories, meditations, and relaxing music to keep you chill. Download your favorites before the flight takes off. 
• Travel Docs: Have all your travel documents handy on your phone, just in case.
• Noise Cancelling Headphones: Must-have for all your in-flight entertainment.

Get Cozy on the Plane
Once you’re on board, get yourself set up ASAP. I love a window seat so I can create a little nook. Have everything you need within reach to avoid digging through your overhead bag.
​

• Set Up Comfort: Neck pillow, eye mask, and ear plugs—get comfy!
• Entertainment Ready: Have your movies, music, or sleep stories ready to go.
• Stay Refreshed: Keep your water bottle and snacks close by.

​
By following these steps, you can make your long-haul flight almost as good as flying first class—well, almost! So next time you're boarding a long flight, remember: it's all about the prep. Treat yourself, because why not?

The holiday season is fast approaching, and while the world is just starting to think about Thanksgiving or New Year’s Eve plans, prime holiday villas are already being scooped up. If you're dreaming of celebrating in sun-drenched Caribbean estates or cozy alpine retreats, now is the time to book.
​
​Whether you're escaping to the beach or chasing snow, Matt Travel has the perfect villa waiting for you.

There are places that move you — places that challenge everything you thought you knew about travel. For our latest group of clients, that place was Antarctica.

They just returned from the bottom of the world, and their reactions say it all: awe, gratitude, and a deep connection to something wild and wonderful. As your trusted travel advisor, I get to curate meaningful journeys. But hearing directly from travelers who’ve stood among penguins and sailed through floating cathedrals of ice? That’s the magic.
​
Here’s a glimpse into what they experienced — in their own words.
