Inspired by Ondine, the water spirit of mythology who guides travelers on their journeys, I founded Ondine Voyages for people who believe travel should be more than a vacation—it should change the way you see the world.

I received my first passport at sixteen and have been exploring ever since. Over the years, I've traveled to more than sixty countries, from sailing down the Nile on a traditional felucca to wandering the markets of Morocco and watching the sun rise over Mount Kilimanjaro. Along the way, I developed a deep appreciation for the people, cultures, and experiences that make each destination unique.

Travel has always been part of my life, but so has business. My professional background includes Wall Street, luxury real estate, entrepreneurship, and nearly two decades as an executive coach. Across every chapter of my career, I've worked as an advisor—helping people make important decisions, navigate complexity, and achieve meaningful goals.

That combination of traveler, businessperson, and trusted advisor shapes the way I approach my work today.

I specialize in luxury river cruises, select ocean voyages, and thoughtfully curated small-group journeys. I work with travelers who are curious about the world and want more than a checklist of famous sights. The moments people remember most are rarely the monuments—they're the conversations, the meals, the unexpected discoveries, and the feeling of being fully present in a place.

The best travel stories are rarely the ones you plan. They're the ones that get retold around dinner tables for years to come. Those are the journeys I love helping create.
