Our Story
I specialize in movement-based travel for those seeking authentic, curated adventures. Focusing on Portugal, Hawai'i, and California, I design seamless itineraries that balance activity with boutique stays. As a professional advisor, I handle the complexities of your travel planning so you can focus entirely on the journey ahead.
Travel Style
My travel style is “curated active.” It’s designed for the traveler who wants the thrill of the outdoors by day—whether cycling coastal roads or hiking rugged ridgelines—and a high-end, comfortable bed at the end of every mile. I believe the best way to see the world is at the pace of a pedal stroke or a footfall, without sacrificing a single luxury.

Saddle & Sea: An Equestrian Luxury Escape in Portugal
Portugal has long been a second home for my family; my daughter and I have returned many times, drawn back by its unique blend of coastal beauty and equestrian tradition. It was here that my daughter undertook her most intensive training and eventually found her own horse to bring home, making this region deeply personal to us. Esposende, located just 30 minutes from Porto, is the crown jewel of this experience—offering world-class training facilities that allow riders to pursue athletic excellence by day and retreat to the sophisticated luxury of Porto by night.

Coastline & Canopy: An Active Luxury Escape from the Peninsula to the Pacific
This region is a rare sanctuary where Northern California’s wild, salt-swept bluffs meet the cathedral-like stillness of ancient redwood forests. This guide is curated for the active traveler who believes a destination is best experienced through movement—whether that means tackling a Category two climb through the timber or finding rhythm in a long coastal run along the Pacific edge. Between world-class cycling loops and technical forest trails, it is a landscape that invites you to push your limits in the morning and embrace “active recovery” by the tide pools in the afternoon.
