My Story

I’m a passionate traveler who has explored 60+ countries across six continents, always in search of beautiful hotels, meaningful cultural experiences, and great food and wine. I bring that same thoughtful approach to planning—with a focus on boutique and high-end stays, authentic local moments, and seamless, elevated experiences.

I specialize in Japan, Italy, Bali, and Southeast Asia, and have deep experience throughout Europe, South America, and Africa. Whether you’re planning a culturally-rich journey through Japan, a romantic Italian escape, or a bucket-list African safari, I design trips that feel personal, enriching, and wonderfully polished.

Beyond full bespoke planning, I also offer complimentary bookings for hotels, safaris, and cruises, giving you access to exclusive perks, possible upgrades, and VIP amenities. Let’s design an unforgettable journey together—thoughtfully planned, beautifully executed, and inspired by the way you love to travel.

Travel Style

I seek wonder, inspiration, and authenticity in every journey. In a world of booming tourism and crowded hotspots, authenticity can be elusive—but it’s still out there. Sometimes it means skipping the must-see checklist for lesser-known gems, or waking before sunrise to experience a Kyoto temple in peaceful solitude. You’ll never find me waiting in line for a staged, Instagrammable moment—because the best memories are often unplanned.

I love exploring on foot—wandering storybook streets in Europe or tucked-away neighborhoods in South America and Southeast Asia, stopping at museums, shops, or hidden corners along the way. I gravitate toward where locals eat, from tiny holes-in-the-wall to Michelin-starred gems, often ending the night at a cozy jazz bar.

I’m equally drawn to beautiful spas, unhurried afternoons with a book, and dinners that stretch long into the night. I seek out hotels with character—thoughtful design, rich history, or a sense of place—whether luxury or boutique. And if an itinerary leans rustic or wildlife-centered, I’ll find the most comfortable eco-resort I can—ideally with an exceptional chef.

My travels take many forms, but my purpose is constant: to design thoughtful, personalized itineraries that reflect each traveler’s unique dreams.

Detail oriented and efficient, which is what we were looking for, but on top of that a personal touch.

Every experience was seamless, easy, and made me feel like I was truly on vacation. I did not run into a single problem and really got to enjoy my stay to its fullest.

As always, Amy is easy to work with and on top of all the details. After an unfortunate miscommunication of dates on my part, Amy caught the error in time and was able to rebook us for the correct weekend. Trip saved!

Amy was recommended to us by a friend, and she did not disappoint. We received special care at our hotel because of her contacts, including early check in and multiple acknowledges of our anniversary (daily!). Her advice on guides in Istanbul was spot on. I had asked her to arrange airport transportation, and while I will admit I was initially skeptical of the Fast Track service that she advised, she was insistent it was the way to go and she was absolutely right. We got through the maze of Istanbul airport smoothly and quickly in an experience I hadn't thought possible. My wife and I will definitely be working with her again!
