Today we’re wrapping up our Romantic Travel series with a destination that can reset your nervous system and your relationship at the same time. We’re talking Africa, from epic safaris and wildly romantic lodges, to the winelands, beaches, and adventures that make this continent feel like nowhere else on earth.

Joining us today is one of my partners in the region, Tamsyn Fricker. Hailing from South Africa, Tamsyn has spent her career designing once in a lifetime journeys across the continent. We chat about what makes Africa so powerful for couples, our favorite regions and properties, and the moments that deepen relationships in a way only Africa can.
