About Me

For over two decades, I have designed travel across Europe with the same care I bring to my own explorations. My background in art history and museum education has shaped how I approach a city: attentive to the layers beneath the surface and attuned to the stories that shape a place. This perspective informs every itinerary I create.

I know when to arrive at the Sistine Chapel, so you have the room nearly to yourself. In Istanbul, I know whether your hotel should be steps from the Grand Bazaar or along the Bosphorus, depending on the trip you want. In Paris, a visit to the Louvre is only worth your time if you go with an expert guide who leads you directly to the works you came to see, at a time when you can actually stand with the art instead of fighting the crowd. On a cruise, I know which shore excursions deliver and which ones you're better off skipping in favor of a private experience I book separately. I specialize in Italy, France, England, Spain, Germany, Austria, Portugal, Greece, Turkey, Czech Republic, Hungary, Croatia, Ireland, Japan, and Vietnam, though I design journeys well beyond that list. Whether for families, milestone occasions, cruise journeys, or more intricate itineraries, I begin with what draws you to a place and build from there.
