My Story
I’m a travel advisor driven by an itch to explore just outside the norm and the average. We all have the ability to travel, but I’m not one to settle for what we all can do. The world is layered, and each culture, destination, conversation, and experience goes only as far as you allow it to.
We can do the minimum and receive the minimum. We can do the average and receive the average. Or we can put in that little extra bit of effort—that extra percentage—and open the door to something far richer.
Because what elevates a trip is rarely found in the obvious. It’s found in that little extra bit of effort—in the details most often missed—where a trip shifts from simply being taken, to deeply being experienced.
Every corner of a trip is worth that extra bit of intention—whether it’s a hotel, a restaurant, a farmers market, the route of a drive, a train ride, or simply a conversation along the way. It all pieces together.
What brings me nothing less than joy is curating those experiences, and connecting our wonderfully vast world through the simple things.
Travel Style
Adventure-forward with an eye for what most people miss. I’m always searching for the local, tucked-away spots—the hole-in-the-wall cafe, the perfectly placed boutique hotel, the experiences that feel like you’ve somehow found them on your own. I build trips that balance exploration with ease, so you can move, discover, and still feel grounded—like you’ve found a rhythm in a place, not just passed through it.

A Crested Butte Summer Guide
Crested Butte is a haven for outdoor lovers, but what makes it special is how deeply you feel the place the moment you arrive. In the summer, the long, golden days stretch wide open—offering endless hours to hike, bike, run, raft, or simply explore beneath or on top of the peaks of the Elk Mountains. The historic downtown is just a few short blocks long, yet it holds outsized character, filled with dusty boots, post-trail beers, live music in the park, and visitors or locals alike who truly love the Crested Butte/Gunnison valley. Crested Butte isn’t a town people pass through—it’s a place they show up for, and it gives that intention and love right back.
