Our Editors' April Itineraries: From Seoul's Blossoms to Caribbean Sun
April brings a fresh wave of travel for our team. As the season turns, our editors are packing for destinations that promise both vibrant city energy and serene natural escapes.
Chloe Laws is embracing London's spring with small, meaningful swaps: a new filtered showerhead for her skin, a reusable coffee cup, and statement jewelry from Daisy London and Missoma to refresh her wardrobe without a full overhaul.
Hannah Chubb is returning from a family celebration at St. Martin's La Samanna, a Belmond Hotel. She traveled with sun-safe staples like a UPF 50+ swim top and a wide-brimmed straw hat, plus a clever cubic zirconia stand-in for her engagement ring to avoid any ocean-side losses.
Charley Ward has a spring packed with firsts: cherry blossoms in Seoul, followed by Saint Lucia's Sugar Beach resort and a destination wedding in Istanbul. Back in London, she recommends The Lanesborough's Bridgerton-themed tea and a standout roast at The Trafalgar in Chelsea.
Dana Kravis is combining city and wilderness on a U.S. spring break, heading from San Francisco's Rintaro restaurant to Yosemite National Park. Her bag holds a versatile wrap dress, a reliable Aeropress for camp coffee, and a practical sling for hikes.
Sarah James is enjoying English country weekends in the Cotswolds before a highly anticipated trip to Cape Town's Mount Nelson hotel. Erin Florio is revisiting Rome for early-morning Pantheon visits and pizza from Forno, then heading to Lake Como's Gran Hotel Tremezzo for slow-paced pool days.
Sarah Allard is exploring UK staycations, from dog-friendly cabins in Devon to hot tubs in Dorset. Jessica Chapel is currently touring Puerto Rico, from the new Four Seasons Rio Grande to a rustic dragon fruit farm, living in easy cover-ups and a trusty crossbody bag ready for local finds.
Across the board, April travel is about blending anticipation with practical comfort, whether the destination is a distant capital or a cozy corner of the countryside.
