About Me

I believe the best travel experiences are the ones that stay with you forever—whether it’s a quiet sunset in the Douro Valley, a river cruise through Vietnam, or a safari in Tanzania. I work with active couples and families to create bespoke journeys that combine cultural discovery, soft adventure, and thoughtful luxury.

Having lived on three continents and visited over 75 countries, I combine insider knowledge, trusted local partnerships, and global connections to craft seamless, personalized itineraries. My favorite trips to plan are Portugal, Italy, France, Spain, Greece, Ireland, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, Peru, Tanzania, Ecuador & the Galapagos, and Alaska, as well as river and boutique ocean cruises, curated culinary experiences, safaris, and escorted or independent tours.

I’m drawn to the kinds of travel experiences that feel both immersive and personal—whether it’s connecting with local artisans, exploring landscapes by foot, or discovering the stories behind a place through its people and traditions. These are the moments that stay with you long after you return home.

Some of my own personal travel experiences that felt the most transformative to me include:making my own claddagh ring in Ireland, exploring Alaska’s wilderness by expedition cruise, hiking to a waterfall in Portugal’s Gerês National Park, cooking with a women’s cooperative in Morocco, and horseback riding in Argentina—experiences that felt authentic, engaging, and deeply connected to place.

Having experienced this style of travel firsthand, I’m intentional about weaving similar opportunities into my clients’ journeys—creating itineraries that balance meaningful experiences with the time and space to enjoy them fully.

Recognized by the New York Times, Washington Post, Travel Age West, and Conde Nast Traveler, I focus on delivering journeys that are expertly planned yet feel effortless, allowing you to immerse fully in each destination.

Together, we can create a trip that’s uniquely yours—memorable, meaningful, and meticulously crafted.
