With Mexico at ten, the Netherlands at five, and Nordic nations filling out the top four slots, the UN-sponsored World Happiness Report recently crowned Finland as the world’s happiest country, for, astonishingly, the eighth consecutive year.

Luxury travel can have a deeper significance. Think of a bespoke vacation, one that aligns with your personal passions, dreams and aspirations. A trip designed to fulfil your tastes and interests.
