down the back stairwell. This level of detail and care is what stood out, what made us feel like we could escape it all. Enter the hallmark trait of luxury destinations: their ability to anticipate the unexpected and take the extra step to make small details memorable. They personalize your trip to match your definition of luxury. For me, luxury was sitting down to a fresh pot of coffee, with no background noise from morning TV to distract, and taking the time to quietly sip and stare at the ocean. These fleeting moments made me feel as though all was right with the world.

Each story speaks to the lived experience of travel not just the end destination. When you read “A Thought” (page 44), you see how a trip’s quiet moments often make the biggest impact.

In our pilot version, I wrote, “At the heart of Wayfare is the desire to inspire people to go and do.” This mission still holds true, and the Wayfare team is more excited than ever to take this vision and bring it to life. So whether you read us online or in print, I invite you to daydream about your next adventure. Travel is important, but the small details of a journey are even more so. sto ckh o l m

experience. The various monkey portraits were taken at the Zoo, located in the stunning Borghese Gardens. We had been looking at so many important artworks, pictures of Popes and Emperors depicted, over the course of our trip that when I saw these furry, animated faces in gilded frames, I couldn’t help but laugh.
e decided to rent a small apartment in Trastevere, located on the outskirts of Rome and just south of Vatican City. We booked the apartment for two weeks so we could spend one week as tourists and the next week as locals. While Rome is where scale and extraordinary monuments are on display at every turn, the color and texture of this neighborhood are what captured our hearts. Here we felt like we could experience art, not just see it.
The building of our tiny rented apartment had the most amazing rustic front door that was designed to keep out invaders during the medieval period. There was also a stone staircase that was so worn with age that I could imagine a young slave girl carrying water up them thousands of years ago. Staying here instead of a hotel allowed us to let the language of the place—the people, the light, the smells—to seep in and shape our experience. The family and I enjoyed being part of the neighborhood’s everyday routines, sampling from the well-visited osterias and trattorias; shopping at the local designer clothing boutiques; and enjoying the famous Sunday flea market, Porta Portese. One place we frequented was local trattoria La Scala, where my daughter would order her favorite dish of spaghetti con burro e parmigiano, a simple dish of pasta with butter and parmigiano. One of my favorite dishes here was the tagliolini cacio e pepe con fioridi zucca e pachino, a pasta with a beautiful squash blossom layered on top, then sprinkled with parmesan and ground pepper.

eAT. My father and I woke up early a few mornings to photograph. Before we headed out, we stopped at the local Bar for morning cappuccinos and jam filled pastries. I loved the colorful trays here.
ur first morning in Rome, we headed to the Piazza di Santa Maria, where we found a beautiful fountain guarding the entrance to the Basilica of Our Lady, or Basilica di Santa Maria, one of the most ancient churches in Rome. So ancient, in fact, that it’s one of the few churches where you can see Christ depicted as a living prophet, rather than on the cross. It was here that I noticed the light streaming in through the clerestory, illuminating select statues and giving the sense of divine light. This light shaped my experience in Rome, becoming my subject matter and focal point of the trip.
The photo of the portal looking out onto the wall with a row of dotted trees was at the entrance to Hadrian’s Villa, a Roman Emperor of the 2nd century AD. The wall pictured here was built to be just one mile long, which was the length of the palace and, according to our guide, the distance that the Emperor’s physician had advised him to walk every day. The morning light of this photo gives us a glimpse into what one of the Emperor’s walks might have been like. From the cobblestone streets and terracotta and maize buildings cast in deep wine hues to street windows dotted with laundry lines, Rome was richer than I had ever imagined. I loved the color of the place, and the way the light would fill ancient crevices to reveal some things and hide others. It felt as though this light held the secrets of Rome.
