Ker & Downey designer Catherine Brown recently returned from a trip to Nepal and Bhutan, a trip she says was one of the favorite journeys she’s ever taken.
From Russia with Love
Ker & Downey designer Jeanne Stayton traveled to Russia where she discovered the beauty of both Moscow and St. Petersburg. These cities were not awash with cement-Stalin-esque buildings like some might think, but instead plenty of pale pastel buildings. And the Metro stations, she says, “were museum-like and built that way to encourage use.” To get the most out of your Russia luxury travel adventure, you’ll want a private guide who can help you avoid large tour groups.
MJ’s Trip to Namibia
Ker & Downey designer MJ Eraci recently took a trip to Namibia and combined it with a few days in Cape Town, South Africa.

The people are warm and amazing.”
