The pace at which time travels feels so inconsistent. At times it goes too fast and other times too slow, and sometimes, like Goldilocks, it feels just right, but those Goldilocks moments seem the most fleeting of all. They say to live in the moment, but oftentimes it's more comforting to look forward to the future, and other times you'd rather reminisce. So I try to remember the good times and always have something to look forward to, whether it's a nice meal I'm planning, making time for friends & family, or my next adventure somewhere in the world. Over the past decade or so, I've learned a few new things. Food tastes better when you smell it, dancing is more fun when you're smiling, and no matter where you are when you're with the people you love, you're home. Let us help you make new memories with your loved ones, smell and taste new cuisines around the world, and dance with a big, cheesy smile on your face while partying with friends. Let this new upbeat set my friend (DJ Matthew S) shared with me get you in the mood. TRAVEL INSPIRATION There's still some space on select trips for the holidays.

Matt sailing on a yacht around Croatia - August 2024 Love cruising, but considering chartering a private yacht? Here’s what to expect… On a yacht, you’ll wake up every morning and enjoy breakfast. Not too long after breakfast, you stop somewhere to swim. Your yacht comes with water toys and the captain may even let you jump off the top of the boat if you ask nicely. The day goes by leisurely, and by the time you finish lunch, you’re in a new town. Most include a walking tour in each city so you get the lay of the land before you’re off exploring on your own. On most nights, dinner isn’t included. This means you get to sample the local cuisine, then hit up a nice bar for a drink or go for a night stroll. You can even get a little adventurous some nights and explore what the nightlife has to offer. The yacht typically doesn't embark until after 4am each morning so feel free to make new friends and party until your heart's content. In a lot of ways, a yacht experience is the opposite of an ocean cruise..
