Whoever your team is, you have the chance this year to combine two of my favorite things – football, and traveling the globe! The NFL has been (not at all quietly), going global. For the 2025 season, a record-breaking seven regular season games will be played outside the US – spanning five countries, including debut games in Brazil, Ireland, Germany, and Spain. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just looking for a unique excuse to travel, this year’s NFL International Games offer the perfect reason to pack your jersey and passport. Fora and I have you covered in this guide about where to go and where to stay to see your favorite team. Who knows, I may just have to head to Brazil to see if Taylor shows up!

I, for one, am ready for some football!

Hawai’i was the site of MANY of my favorite vacations with Mike and the kids. Mike’s parents spent time on Maui every February for over thirty years, and some of our first trips were visiting them. Then, we experienced Kauai and fell head over heels. From the jungles of Hanalei, to the soaring cliffs of the Napili Coast, to the fantastic beaches in Poipu – we could visit Kauai over and over again. Fora has pulled together a fully comprehensive look at all of the Islands – where to stay, what to do, and where to eat & drink. I’d love to help you create your own Hawaiian memories. Let’s chat.
