About Me

Don't tell my kids or husband, but my passport is the real love of my life.

In my solo twenties, I left the country for months on end with just a backpack and no plans. I lived in Belfast and Bolivia and coastal Spain, and my only goal was to see as much of the world as possible.

In my newlywed thirties, my husband and I were on the road as photographers, and learned how to balance high end hotels with back alley street food. We saw almost every corner of the US from Anchorage to New Orleans, and photographed projects in the dusty streets of Cuba, remote Thai jungles, and private Panamanian islands.

And now I'm a mom of two girls under age 5, and my kids are developing strong opinions about ramen in Tokyo and croissants in Paris. Travel as a young family is just as important to me as it was before kids-- and probably even more, because raising thoughtful global citizens is my new mission.

In 2016 my husband and I opened a boutique travel company, hosting high/low retreats on multiple continents a year, where we learned how to execute complex itineraries, study the secrets of the world's best hospitality providers, and turn groups of strangers into lifelong friends as they experienced our favorite pockets of the world together. These trip itineraries are also available to you- I'd love to guide you in the right direction for your dream trip.

Whatever travel era you're in, you need thoughtful, experienced guidance to make the travel count. I am thrilled to tell you all the things I did wrong over the 40 countries and counting, so you can skip my mistakes and get straight to the good stuff: the beautiful experiences that will change your view of the world and your place in it.

Whether you need a getaway with your partner to a place that challenges both of you, a solo recharge trip to remember who you are without stress or responsibility, or a family adventure that will help your kids become empathetic, curious travelers, my biggest priority is absolutely nailing your trip so you can focus on becoming the next version of yourself.

No matter what era you're in, I got you. Let's figure out your next big adventure-- together.
