Our Story
Bay Area-based luxury travel advisor, passionate about luxury destinations in Greece, Mexico, Hawai'i, California (Napa, Sonoma, Big Sur, and CA coast), Europe, and Australia / New Zealand.
Travel Style
I’ve been passionate about luxury hotels and travel ever since I was first upgraded with my dad on a United P.S. flight from JFK to SFO in 2003. Sitting in business class changed everything. I knew then, even at the age of 10, that I never wanted to go back. That early upgrade kicked off a lifelong obsession with miles, points, and premium travel experiences. Over the years, I’ve been lucky to explore everywhere from Portugal to Italy to New Zealand (and beyond) and have stayed at some pretty incredible hotels—often with amazing benefits—thanks to programs like Rosewood Elite, Four Seasons Preferred Partners, and Virtuoso. After years of thinking about it, I’ve officially launched my own luxury travel advising business.
I’ll be helping friends and family get the absolute most out of their trips: VIP upgrades, daily breakfast, spa credits, and more, at no additional cost to you. Whether it’s a suite upgrade at Four Seasons Tamarindo, a $100 spa credit at Meadowood, or knowing which resort actually has the best pool (and fewest kids), I’m here to help you plan smarter, travel better, and make it unforgettable. From the sun-soaked Algarve coast to chic castles in Provence, and the cliffside resorts of Cabo, I’ve spent years exploring the best luxury hotels so you don’t have to.

Keith made me believe in using travel agents again. He carefully put together thoughtful options and called out why he would choose each. He was so easy to work with and turned things around so quickly! I was so busy with work I would have ended up not booking the trip at all without Keith’s help. He took so much work off my shoulders!

Keith is absolutely fantastic at what he does. He is extremely responsive and quick to help with anything and everything I might need when it comes to luxury travel. I’ve already utilized his services four times in the past two months. To be able to take all of the research and booking pressure off of my shoulders and just reach out to Keith for what I’m looking for and to find me the best deal? Worth its weight in gold. I won’t ever book a stay without Keith ever again! Thank you so much, Keith!!

Keith was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about all areas of Paris. Without his guidance, we wouldn’t have thought to stay in an area we’re not familiar with. We look forward to booking our next trip with Keith.

Keith was absolutely exceptional. Our travel plans changed unexpectedly, and with less than 24 hours' notice we suddenly needed to find a luxury hotel in Saint-Tropez during peak season. After coming up empty searching on my own, I reached out to Keith, who immediately stepped in with the perfect recommendation.
The booking process was effortless. Keith personally contacted the hotel before our arrival to let them know we'd be arriving early, and when we pulled up the staff greeted us by name, welcomed us with cold towels and refreshments, and surprised us with a complimentary room upgrade. From the very beginning, we felt genuinely looked after.
The only issue we encountered during our stay was a delay in getting into our room. Keith communicated with the hotel on our behalf professionally and promptly, the situation was resolved quickly, and everything else about the stay was seamless.
Luxury hotels naturally have many guests competing for attention, but having Keith in our corner made us feel like a priority throughout the entire experience. His recommendations, responsiveness, and personal relationships made a real difference. I'll absolutely be using Keith for future luxury travel and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for exceptional service.

Keith found me this place and knew exactly what I was looking for. He listened to my needs and sent me great recommendations -- it was even hard to narrow it down between those options as I loved them all! He ultimately helped make the decision for me to go to La Monastica and I am so grateful he did. He handled EVERYTHING. From booking, to communications and I didn't have to worry about a thing. He made everything seamless and communication was prompt and friendly. Can't wait to book my next vacation with him!
