As the summer sun paints the world in vibrant colors and the scent of adventure dances in the air, I am extremely excited to present our spectacular summer issue. Grab your sunglasses, find a cozy spot under a tree, and get ready to embark on a journey that will incite your wanderlust and have you yearning for sandy toes and sun-kissed memories. Our cover feature with Xplor Earth takes you to the niche corners of the world, beyond the mainstream destinations that are out of reach for most travelers. From a Galapagos Islands tour to a safari in Botswana, we take you on some of our favorite journeys. Xplor Earth founder, Harsh Patil, is a fascinating individual and we were very impressed by his story and how each travel itinerary is customized and tailor-made. rough immersive storytelling and stunning visuals, we'll take you to the delightful playground of Palm Beach, Florida. Discover the hidden gems that await, including two of our favorite hotels on the island,e Colony Hotel and White Elephant Palm Beach. As a born and raised South Floridian, I was blown away by the history and depth our team took to bring this feature to life. No summer issue would be complete without a nod to fashion and style. Our expert team has scoured the globe for the latest trends, uncovering the designs and influences that define this season's sartorial landscape. From beachside chic to elegant evening ensembles, we'll guide you through curating your signature summer style. We delve into a gastronomical adventure with Il Mulino, a must-visit the next time you are in Atlantic City. In the pages to follow, we'll highlight our experience and share some of the dishes you absolutely need to try. Chef Michele Mazza gave us some Italian-style summer grilling tips that will elevate your summer gatherings. Lastly, let's not forget the importance of taking care of ourselves amidst the summer frenzy. We've curated a collection of articles that will guide you through a journey of self-care, mindfulness, and inner bliss. I hope this issue brings you inspiration and a renewed sense of adventure. Perhaps it's because I was born in July, but summer has always been my favorite season of the year. Each day truly has that "vacation feel" to it. From the entire team at VUE, we hope you have an incredible summer! Brian Kovener Co-Founder Brian@vuenj.com
