“To travel is to live." (Hans Christian Anderson)

“You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough!” (Mae West)

Can you think of two more fitting quotes for when it comes to planning your dream vacation?

That’s where I come in! I have prioritized travel in my life for as long as I can remember. I studied abroad in China when I was in middle school and studied abroad twice in college, both in England and Italy. These experiences changed my life and led me to living, working, and traveling all over the world and around the United States. My background as a professional actor, musician, and educator has been fueled by my desire to not just exist in this world, but truly live in it! Now as a travel advisor and designer, my goal is to help turn your travel dreams in reality -- living and experiencing all the world has to offer! My passion for culture, art, history, language, food and wine, and exploration combined with my industry connections around the world will allow me to collaborate with you to design a once-in-a-lifetime travel experience filled with incredible stories to share for years to come! And if only once is not enough, then follow the advice of the Dalai Lama: “Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before!”

Whether tasting wine in Napa and Sonoma Valleys or in the vineyards on Tuscan hillsides, dining upscale in flashy Shinjuku or having a baguette and cheese on a Mediterranean beach, seeing an opera at La Scala or the Met or watching the street performers in London’s Covent Garden or San Fran’s Pier 39, hiking the Himalayas to Everest Base Camp or cage diving with the great white sharks on the South African coastline, taking a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a European rendezvous with great friends, the experiences I’ve enjoyed have influenced and impacted my thinking and my relationships in a wonderful way! IBN Battuta said this: “Traveling -- it leaves you speechless then turns you into a storyteller!”

What story will you tell?
