Verbeck

I am a California-based Virtuoso FORA travel advisor and lifelong explorer who has visited more than 30 countries and visited all but one continent. An empty-nester with a passion for immersive journeys, I blend luxury with authenticity—splurging on exceptional hotels while mixing in boutique, budget-friendly gems to uncover the heart of each destination. Having lived and worked in Australia, I specialize in Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji, and bring insider knowledge of the South Pacific alongside a global perspective. I've also worked for a European travel company, so my knowledge spans the globe. My travel style is “hi-lo,” with a focus on hidden gems, local connections, and off-the-beaten-path adventures. With a career in the travel industry spanning marketing, destination promotion, and now bespoke trip design, I help clients create meaningful, seamless experiences. Whether it’s a luxury safari, a culinary tour, or a cultural immersion, I ensure every itinerary balances indulgence with discovery!
