In 2006, I lost my soul to Italy with my first taste of gelato al cioccolato on an ancient street in Florence, where I spent a semester studying Italian, photojournalism, and creative writing. Those four months set me on a long path of self-discovery that ultimately led me to join Departure Lounge – an innovative and well-respected travel agency – in 2017 and then to create my own brand to help others travel and experience more of the world while discovering themselves, too.

In 2023, I had another life-changing experience when I visited Morocco for the first time and it felt like I'd arrived home. Over the following year, I changed everything about my life and moved first to Barcelona and then to Marrakech, where I'll be at least until early 2025.

Now, my goal is to give my clients the same incredible experiences wherever they go in the world. I hope to help you go beyond a checklist of famous sights and destinations and help you to really connect with the place, and maybe even yourself.

I also have a passion for wellness travel - whatever that means for you - from yoga retreats, forest bathing and mindfulness, to amazing spas and more.

I love helping solo travelers, couples, and retreats experience more of the world in luxury.
