My Story
Some of my most meaningful travel experiences have been defined by exceptional hospitality.
For decades, I’ve thoughtfully planned my own journeys, discovering that what I loved most wasn’t simply traveling—it was designing travel. Finding the right hotel, the right room, and the experiences that allow a destination to unfold naturally became an essential part of how I travel.
As a travel advisor, I bring that passion into a more meaningful role, with access to exceptional partners around the world. My goal is to help others experience travel at its very best—where every detail feels effortless and every stay feels exceptional.
Travel Style
My travel style centers on thoughtful luxury—experiences shaped by exceptional hospitality, beautiful design, and a true sense of place.
I believe the right hotel does more than provide comfort—it defines the experience of a destination. I gravitate toward properties where service feels intuitive, the atmosphere feels intentional, and every detail contributes to a seamless stay.
I design travel that balances thoughtful planning with the freedom to discover. Private guides, remarkable hotels, and authentic experiences allow my clients to connect more deeply with the places they visit.
Whether it’s a multigenerational family trip, a milestone celebration, or a refined escape, my goal is to ensure every journey unfolds effortlessly—so my clients can simply be present and enjoy the experience.

I’ve known David for many years, and we’ve been talking about hotels and travel plans long before he became a travel advisor.
He’s good at understanding what I’m looking for and steering me toward hotels that fit my preferences. Sometimes I come to him with ideas, and sometimes he comes to me with suggestions, but it’s always a collaborative process.
Since joining Fora, he’s also been able to secure perks that have added value to trips I was already planning.
I’ve been very happy with the results and will happily work with him again.

David recently planned a short trip that we took together, and I really appreciated how thoughtfully he handled every detail. We’ve known each other for about 10 years, so I already trusted his judgment — but seeing him approach travel planning firsthand was impressive.
He put real care into selecting the transportation, the hotel, and the overall flow of the itinerary. Everything felt well organized, easy, and enjoyable without being rigid or overplanned. He also made sure we talked through the key decisions along the way.
I would absolutely rely on his guidance for future travel and look forward to planning another trip together.
