My Story
I craft one-of-a-kind journeys built around your vision, the details that matter, and experiences you’ll remember for a lifetime. By seamlessly blending luxury with adventure, I create trips that feel both exhilarating and effortless. If you’re ready for travel that’s thoughtfully planned and truly unforgettable, let’s design it together.
Travel Style
I design extraordinary journeys for people who value rare experiences, impeccable taste, and their time. While you focus on what matters most, I invest countless hours sourcing the world’s most distinctive, bucket-list properties, securing access to unforgettable adventures, and curating dining and cultural moments you won’t find in a guidebook.
Every itinerary is intentionally crafted with a flexible daily flow—structured enough to maximize each destination, yet effortless enough to feel indulgent. Expect a seamless balance of adrenaline and refinement: private guides, once-in-a-lifetime experiences, and exceptional boutique accommodations that become a defining part of the journey, not just a place to sleep.
If you’re seeking a trip that feels elevated, personal, and truly unforgettable—this is where it begins.

Prompt, punctual, and always on top of it. Her attention to detail is superior and makes booking any vacation through her a no brainer. Knowing us and our style, there were catered experiences she researched and tee'd up for us, which had we done this ourselves we would have never even thought of. With a mix of adventure, relaxation, and cravings for great meals - Ellen of all of it. Excited for the next one.

Ellen was incredible to work with as our travel advisor for our trip to Miami and Puerto Rico. She made the entire process smooth, organized, and stress-free from start to finish. The hotels she selected were in perfect locations and made it easy for us to enjoy everything both destinations had to offer.

Find Your Wild: The Luxurious Side of the Serengeti
Lemala safari camps don’t just offer access to the Serengeti—they offer belonging within it. Few places in the world allow you to bathe, dine, relax, bathe, and sleep with such raw proximity to wildlife, all while wrapped in thoughtful luxury and cultural respect. This is not simply a safari—it’s an intimate, soul-stirring immersion into one of the last great wildernesses on Earth.

Giraffe Manor: An Encounter You Can Only Live Once
Giraffe Manor is defined by a moment that can be captured in a photograph but only truly understood when lived: the rare, intimate experience of sharing space with wild Rothschild’s giraffes who move freely through the manor’s windows and gardens. Set within a refined 1930s estate, this iconic interaction is deeply respectful and profoundly personal. It is unrepeatable, unscripted, and impossible to replicate anywhere else in the world. While the setting delivers classic African luxury, Michelin- and Forbes-recognized service, and thoughtful rituals from spa time to candlelit evenings, it is the feeling of that quiet connection with wildlife that lingers longest. Giraffe Manor is not a place you simply visit—it is an experience that transcends imagery and becomes a lasting memory felt long after the moment has passed.
