Greenland and the Appeal of Escapism

"We wander for distraction, but we travel for fulfillment." ― Hilaire Belloc

 

Here on the other side of the 2024 election, Nine Muses Travel is still busy fulfilling travel wishes, and for many of you, the appeal of escapism is even more alluring now. We live on an exquisite planet, and it's my sincere pleasure to help you step outside every day life for a while and immerse yourself in beautiful surroundings, meeting locals in a new destination, learning new crafting or cooking skills with artisans and chefs, and giving yourself the break you need to expand your horizons and gain new perspectives. Travel isn't always a luxury; it can often feel vital, and now may be one of those times.

 

If you want to go someplace unexpected, United Airlines is launching a new nonstop route from Newark to Nuuk (capital of Greenland - pictured above). They're the first U.S. airline with direct flights to Greenland, the world's largest island. From June 14, they'll have twice weekly service from June to September, and the flight is only around four hours! Nuuk, the biggest city in Greenland, has fewer than 20,000 inhabitants. A short walk from the city center takes you to the shores of the Nuuk Fjord, one of the world's largest fjord systems. Nuuk is home to great dining, art, crafts, fashion, architecture, museums, hiking, boating, and human history going back around 4,500 years. Nuuk is on my list now!

 

United Airlines is on a roll, and in May 2025, they're launching five other new flights from Newark to places no other U.S. airline serves including Palermo, Italy; Bilbao, Spain; and Portugal's Madeira Island as well as Faro on Portugal's Algarve coast. And from Washington D.C. Dulles, United is adding their first flight to Dakar, Senegal (year-round) and new seasonal nonstop flights to Nice and Venice.

 

For my fellow White Lotus fans, maybe you want to beat the crowds and head to Koh Samui, Thailand to stay at the Four Seasons where they filmed its third season. When you book any Four Seasons property in the world through Nine Muses Travel, I'm able to secure additional amenities through their Preferred Partner Program, and you'll be at the tippy top of the list for a free room upgrade too.

 

No matter where you long to roam to get away from it all, Nine Muses Travel is here for you!
