After years of traveling extensively on my own and now as a travel advisor, I’ve settled into a niche which suits my passions and personality the best: adventure travel! I love the excitement of discovering a destination in an active way: connecting with locals, learning and exploring, but also ending each day with a VERY soft landing in a luxury hotel, resort or camp.

One of my favorite adventures was escorting a group of 8 women to Morocco. We hiked and rode mules through the Atlas Mountains and ate delicious tangine in a local Berber family's home. We visited a women's Argan Oil co-op (surrounded by long haired goats climbing trees) where we learned about the lives of divorced and widowed women in Morocco, then browsed through their lovely selection of handmade cosmetics and fragrances available for purchase. Another day, we lunched under shady willows in an elegant vineyard and learned the intriguing history of the estate, while sipping crisp rosé produced on site. We also rode humongous dromedaries (not camels!) along the sparkling Atlantic coast in Essaouira, and later, got lost in the maze-like alleyways of the oldest souk in Marrakesh. Meanwhile, each luxurious hotel along our route was more gorgeous than the last and we routinely lavished ourselves in traditional hammam spa services. Top-tier gastronomic dining finished off every evening before we lay our heads down to sleep in cloud-like beds.

These are the type of once-in-a-lifetime itineraries that make travel come alive for me--and for my tribe of like-minded clients!

I view every destination as brimming with unique treasures and offering the amazing promise of discovery. My goal is to help clients--so many of whom bring an openminded love of travel to the table--to create lasting memories, experience maximum joy, and to encounter the least possible amount of travel-related stress.

And for my client who is looking for 100% pampering and relaxation, believe me when I say: I love that kind of vacation too! Whether you’re craving a digital detox and yoga retreat, or to lounge poolside all day with an icy cocktail in hand—I’ve got the best the resources at my fingertips and it’s my absolute pleasure to curate the perfect get-away to fulfill every client's travel fantasy.
