Crafting UnGoogleable, First-Class Travel Experiences Where Every Detail is Tailored to You.

At The Elegance of Travel, we specialize in designing bespoke luxury vacations for discerning couples who deserve nothing but the finest. From exclusive villas and private island getaways to VIP cultural experiences, we bring your travel dreams to life with sophistication and care. Leave the stress of planning behind and embrace the joy of traveling together.

After decades of marriage and countless business trips apart, I realized the importance of sharing the world’s most beautiful destinations with the one you love. In November 2023, a solitary business trip to The Netherlands sparked a revelation: life’s too short to travel alone.

Together, I combined my passion for planning and Shelley’s unparalleled organizational skills to craft a travel design firm that eliminates the stress of planning, so you can focus on creating priceless memories with your loved one.

My deep-rooted love for geography and adventure fuels every journey I design. Known for my research expertise and uncanny ability to navigate unfamiliar terrain, I ensure every itinerary is as seamless as it is extraordinary.

Our Philosophy

At The Elegance of Travel, we are inspired by the golden age of travel when journeys were as elegant as the destinations themselves. From the moment you board your first-class flight to the last toast in a luxurious villa, every moment is designed to reflect the sophistication and charm of yesteryear.
