    I absolutely adore elephants, I’m totally crazy about them, and riding and touching elephants were high on my to do list, until I realised what these poor poor creature, which I love so much, must endure for me to do this, so now it is a HUGE no-no for me as well and I’m so relieved that I never pursue my dream of touching/riding them. I live in South African and seeing them in there natural habitat is so much more rewarding!

      I completely agree!

    Not to be *that person* that plugs their blog, but I wrote a post based on a lecture I was given in my conservation Master’s degree on wildlife tourism and it was very interesting! (https://anotherstationanothermile.com/2018/03/18/science-sunday-wildlife-tourism/) The study compared different wildlife attractions and their conservation impact and animal welfare standards and also had a bit on why people wind up going to not so great animal attractions (it’s usually because they don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes). TLDR; most “sanctuaries” are the best for both animal welfare and conservation!

      It’s such an important conversation to be having. Thank you for sharing, Rachel!

Unforgettable memories from the ultimate girls’ weekend getaway—with 18 kids, sunshine, and pure luxury at @lascasitaspm 🌴✨

Las Casitas is managed by @vehm.mx, the premier property management company in Punta Mita. They oversee the most exclusive villas in the area, and every one of their properties is fully staffed and loaded with luxury amenities.

This gorgeous beachfront estate in the exclusive Kupuri community features three private casitas, 12 bedrooms, 13.5 bathrooms, a stunning infinity pool, hot tub, gym, and beach access. It’s designed for big groups, but feels intimate, relaxed, and totally elevated.

The real MVPs? The incredible full-time staff. We had a chef, sous chef, pastry chef, butler, concierge, and housekeeping—literally someone looking after our every need. Every meal was a gourmet experience, and every moment was effortless (which, with 18 kids, is saying a lot).

@vehm.mx helped us coordinate in-house massages for the mamas, and organized a piñata for the kids and a mariachi band to celebrate Oliver’s birthday THREE-esta!

Perfect for a 40th birthday, girlfriend getaway, or large family trip—we’re already planning our return. I can’t recommend it enough (or stop talking about it)!
