Our Motto: ADVENTURE EFFORTLESSLY, YOUR WAY

I started Luxury Travel Adventures after a marketing career at National Geographic Television, and have been to over 75 countries and counting!

I craft highly-personalized luxury travel experiences for couples and families that let them adventure effortlessly.

Whether it’s a family trip to Italy, a romantic honeymoon in Bora Bora, a stylish stay in Paris, a family reunion in the Caribbean or a thrilling safari in South Africa, I leave no stone unturned in my search for just the right accommodations and experiences for you, to elevate your travel from ordinary to one-of-a-kind.

My strength is listening to what type of experience you are looking for, and designing and executing every detail to provide an experience that surpasses anything you could have thought of!

I am also there for you every step of the way: before, during AND after your trip.

In these tech-savvy days, a seasoned advisor also serves as a highly valuable filter for all the information clutter on the Internet. And if something goes sideways, Google is not going to take your call!

My goal is to provide insider knowledge through my global connections, meticulous expertise and above-and-beyond service, while also securing perks and benefits that you simply don't have access to.

I'm certified as a VERIFIED TRAVEL ADVISOR by ASTA (American Association of Travel Advisors) a member of CLIA and also APTA (Association for the Promotion of Tourism to Africa). I'm also a certified South Africa Specialist.

My personal travel philosophy is best summed up in the words of the great Mark Twain: "Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. DREAM. EXPLORE. DISCOVER."
