That friend that used all her PTO to take one long trip and never came back. Constantly on the go with her dog in tow. Knows the bartender. Always hungry.

Travel style

Having made my home in several of the world's top travel destinations, I've developed a local's perspective that goes beyond typical tourist traps to discover extraordinary local treasures. Specializing in off-the-beaten-path and off-beat luxury, I love to design itineraries that focus on unique experiences and personal passions: food and wine, wildlife, art, adventure, something that is distinctly you. My approach to travel is about finding the perfect rhythm: starting with a relaxed morning, diving deep into the heart of a destination and winding down with a beautiful sunset paired with a delicious meal. This is the art of travel, tailored for you.
