Dana Perino, former White House Press Secretary and Fox News anchor, has just unveiled her boldest personal chapter yet — and it begins with a private, 18-month round-the-world journey she’ll take with husband Peter McMahon. But before the couple even leaves U.S. soil, they’re making headlines with a $5 million kick-off experience that only a handful of people on Earth will ever replicate.
“It’s not about escaping,” Dana told a close friend. “It’s about rediscovering.”
The $5 Million Sendoff: What We Know
Insiders confirm the journey will begin this August in the American Southwest — but this isn’t your typical road trip. Dubbed the “Fifty States Farewell,” the kickoff experience includes:
-
A custom-designed luxury Airstream caravan, complete with an on-board library, meditation nook, and a hidden wine vault
-
Private performances by local artists in hand-selected towns across 12 states
-
A personalized culinary journey curated by a Michelin-starred chef who will join the couple for the first 21 days
-
A documentary crew capturing it all — though the final footage may only be released in 2027
And that’s just the beginning.
“They’ve rented out a private observatory in Arizona,” said one source. “The goal is to stargaze before they fly across the world — and start the second chapter.”
Where Are They Going?
Though exact destinations remain under wraps, sources say the trip includes 17 countries, 5 oceans, and a rotating itinerary built around purposeful rest, education, and quiet service. A major focus? Animal sanctuaries, girls' schools, and orphanages.
“They don’t want to be seen — they want to learn,” the insider added.
One Unbreakable Rule
Perhaps the most stunning detail? The Perinos have reportedly agreed to no social media, no selfies, and no press interactions during the journey — a decision that has even Fox colleagues stunned.
“She’s walking away from the noise,” said a Fox insider. “Not because she has to. Because she’s choosing to.”
The trip will conclude with a quiet vow renewal ceremony in an undisclosed European monastery, witnessed only by a handful of friends and the animals they sponsor.
