Today we're celebrating our 5th birthday — five years, 260 episodes, countless destinations, and some of the most inspiring voices in travel. When I started this show back in 2020, I never could have imagined the incredible community that would form around it, or how many of you would join me each week to dream, to learn, and to reflect on the meaning of travel.

So to mark this milestone, I wanted to do something a little different. Instead of a hotelier, a guide, or a travel CEO, I invited three of our most dedicated listeners — Max, Torey, and Nikhil — to join me. Each of them brings their own stories: from safari sunsets and personalized luxury touches, to family adventures and how travel has shaped their careers and worldviews.

In today's episode, we'll swap favorite destinations, share insider hotel moments, reflect on lessons travel has taught us about life, and even dive into some Luxury Travel Insider trivia.

Above all, this episode is a celebration of you — the listeners — and of the idea that travel, when done with intention, connects us more deeply to ourselves, to each other, and to humanity.

So grab a glass of champagne, settle in, and let's celebrate five incredible years of Luxury Travel Insider.
