Uniquely Yours, Expertly Planned

There’s a difference between booking a trip and crafting an experience—and that’s where I come in. I take the stress out of planning by curating seamless, one-of-a-kind journeys designed just for you.

Helping others see the world in a way that’s meaningful to them is what I love most about being a travel advisor. With over 25 years of travel expertise and industry relationships, I don’t just book trips—I design them with your needs in mind. From navigating complex itineraries to securing VIP perks, exclusive access, and trusted local guides, I handle every detail. My job is to ensure your journey is effortless, immersive, and tailored to your tastes.

Imagine walking among the rice terraces of Bali, Vietnam, or Cambodia, enjoying a private wine tasting in Bordeaux, or a Shabu-Shabu dining experience in Japan, or simply a friendly greeting at the airport with every detail handled. I make it happen—so all you have to do is show up and enjoy.

My bucket list includes: Attending all the tennis majors, epic adventures in Australia, New Zealand, Africa, and Scandinavia, spa and golf vacations, Ritz-Carlton yacht trips, and many more.

Let’s turn your next trip into something extraordinary. Where are you dreaming of next?
