Like on the Bravo TV series Below Deck, I’ve fantasized many times about being the rich a-hole who charters a superyacht. But given that I’m neither an a-hole (my husband may differ on this point) nor rich (no one differs on this point), it didn’t seem to be in the

Some of you have already had the pleasure of traveling with Mike Mumford, Brand g’s newest reservations agent and trip host. He’s incredibly smart, super sweet, and a fantastic addition to the Brand g family. He was hesitant to do this interview because he knew I (Eric, the Director of

If you’ve been to Lisbon, you can probably see why it attracts so many Americans. Portugal’s capital, in the center of the country, offers tons of youthful energy and sophistication, all at relatively bargain prices for Americans. And with its hilly topography, row houses and trams, it could very much

“It’s dusty and dirty.” “It’s a long-ass flight.” “I don’t want to be a lion’s lunch.” Some people have hesitations about traveling to Africa – and in particular, taking an African safari. But they’ve never taken a Brand g trip to Africa, and therein lies the difference. Our 5-star land
