After nearly a nearly two decades as a nonprofit executive, I made the bold decision to pause my career and travel the world solo—a journey that completely transformed my life. What began as a year of personal exploration quickly evolved into a calling: to help others experience the freedom, joy, and perspective that meaningful travel brings.

That journey became Zenzi Luxury Travel.

As the founder of Zenzi, I curate transformative itineraries for curious, intentional travelers—especially professional women, couples, and families—who crave beauty, connection, and adventure, but don’t always have time to plan. Whether it’s sipping single-estate tea in Sri Lanka, experiencing architectural wonders in Japan, or watching the sun rise over the Swiss Alps, I specialize in thoughtfully crafted, culturally immersive experiences that nourish the soul.

Instead of focusing on everywhere, I focus on doing certain destinations exceptionally well. My specialties include Europe, Southeast Asia, Africa, and island escapes like the Maldives and the Caribbean. I regularly visit the places I recommend, vetting accommodations, experiences, and guides with a critical eye and a generous heart.

I believe travel is a catalyst for growth and connection—within ourselves and with others. Through Zenzi, I serve as both guide and advocate, helping clients move beyond bucket lists and into moments that transform.

I’m based in New York City, and when I’m not designing dream trips, you’ll find me exploring new restaurants, reading architectural travel books, or planning my next adventure.
