VIRTUOSO LIFE Wins Best Travel Magazine Over National Titles

VL Sept CoverWinning a national magazine award is nothing to sneeze at, but the staff at Virtuoso felt especially proud when the company’s flagship publication, VIRTUOSO LIFE, won “Best Consumer Travel Magazine” in the 2009 FOLIO awards, beating out competitors like National Geographic Traveler and Travel + Leisure.

Exclusive Reading for Luxury Clientele
What makes this win even more sweet is that, unlike its competitors, VIRTUOSO LIFE isn’t for sale on the newsstands. It’s considered a “private” or “corporate” magazine that only goes out to the best clients of Virtuoso’s member travel advisors. View the winning issue here.

Esteemed Awards
The FOLIO awards competition is the largest of its kind, this year drawing more than 2,000 entries from a who’s-who of well-known consumer magazines. Other gold winners included Time, Newsweek, Food & Wine, Field & Stream, Harper’s Bazaar, Golf Digest, and Entertainment Weekly. See the complete list of winners here.

30 Things No One Tells You About Backpacking in South America

Image
During our year-long honeymoon, we spent 5 incredible months backpacking in South America.

Although each of the countries we visited – Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, and Argentina – was as unique and different from one another as can be, we did notice a few universal truths about backpacking in South America… things nobody told us about before we left. In no particular order and in various degrees of usefulness, we’ve compiled our observations into this list of 30 things no one tells you about backp

The 6 Best Viewpoints in Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland (and How to Find Them!)

Image
Having just returned from a short stay in the stunning Swiss town of Lauterbrunnen, I’m a bit of a drooly, overwhelmed mess. After all, with a head full of dreams carefully planted from years of pining over Lauterbrunnen on Instagram and Pinterest, my expectations were so high I could practically vomit from excitement. The issue? Many of the photos circulating online are actually snapped from drones, which means they’re not real views you can access without spontaneously sprouting wings. So, if you’re like me and have failed at sprouting said wings, I’ve done some groundwork for you! Here are some of my favourite viewpoints and Lauterbrunnen photo spots that I discovered, along with instructions on how to reach them. Best of all?

I apologize that these viewpoints don’t have official names, and that street names don’
