Today's episode is a little different — and very special.


Not only are we celebrating five incredible years of Luxury Travel Insider… but I am, for the first time ever, inviting YOU to come on the show.

To celebrate this five-year milestone, I'm inviting three of our listeners to join me as guests for a special anniversary episode.

If you love the show, if travel has inspired you, or if Luxury Travel Insider has played even a small part in your journey, I would be so honored to have you on the show. We'll make you the travel celebrity of the day and talk about your travel experiences, how it's added meaning to your life, and more. 

Here's how you can apply:

  • Just head to the show notes for this episode and fill out a quick form.

  • You can also find the link in my Instagram bio (@sarahgoesglobal).

  • Or if you prefer, shoot us an email at hello@bellandblytravel.com with the subject line Podcast Interview, and we'll send you the form directly.

We want to hear your reflections — your favorite travel memories, what you've learned from traveling, and how you think travel changes us.

So if Luxury Travel Insider has touched your life, inspired your travels, or simply made you smile, I would love to celebrate this milestone with you.

Thank you, Insiders, for an unforgettable five years — and here's to many more adventures ahead.

Cheers, and I'll talk to you soon!

Sarah Groen hosts Luxury Travel Insider, a podcast that moves beyond glossy brochures to explore the intricate world of high-end journeys through the people who craft them. Each episode is a conversation with a pivotal figure, from a veteran like Ashford Castle's Robert Bowe, with over three decades dedicated to guest experience, to conservation leaders at remote safari lodges and the proprietors of legendary hotels. These discussions reveal the unseen effort, deep cultural knowledge, and thoughtful philosophy that define true luxury on the road. Rather than just listing destinations, the podcast uncovers the stories behind impeccable service, sustainable practices, and those perfectly curated moments that transform a simple trip into a lasting memory. Tuning in feels like gaining access to a private club where the talk is always about the art of travel itself. You’ll hear firsthand accounts of what it takes to create exceptional experiences, the balance between opulence and authenticity, and the evolving definition of luxury in different corners of the globe. It’s for those who see travel as a deeper pursuit, interested in the craftsmanship behind the curtain as much as the destination on the itinerary.
