About
With an adventurous spirit and a deep curiosity about the world, I have journeyed to 71 countries and counting. My travels are driven by a passion for experiencing diverse cultures, savoring unique cuisines and connecting with people from all walks of life. Each destination adds a new chapter to my story, enriching my understanding of the world and broadening my horizons. From bustling cityscapes to tranquil villages, I seek the authentic essence of every place I visit.
Travel style
Travel is not just about ticking destinations off a list — it's about the stories you collect, the flavors you savor and the people you meet along the way. It's about stepping out of your comfort zone, embracing the unfamiliar and growing with every new experience. Every journey is a continuous quest for knowledge, adventure and human connection, and every trip should be a transformative chapter in your life's story.

Ken's reviews
Ken was a DREAM to work with. It is a joy to benefit from not only his skill and knowledge, but also his passion and excitement for travel. We will be recommending Ken without reservation to everyone we know - and we will never leave home again without him.
Ken took the time to really get to know us and our preferences and budget and he put together an experience that was everything we wanted (and a few things we didn't know we needed but absolutely loved), and he went the extra mile and quietly added a few very thoughtful touches that reflected the level of genuine care and and kindness he brings to his work. Communicating with Ken was one of the best parts of planning this trip. He is a bona fide travel expert and clearly knows his way around the world, which makes him easy to trust, and his good advice and excellent taste led us to make choices and consider options we never would've even known we had without him. We felt totally comfortable asking him all of our questions (even the embarrassing ones), and he gave great feedback and reliable information. He had us perfectly prepared for our trip, start to finish, and confident that we were in good hands with all the vendors and services he arranged - all we had to do was pack!

From planning to execution, Ken was incredible. We had a packed itinerary with activities ranging from milestone celebrations to business affairs, and his attention to detail while curating this experience made this trip a dream.
We especially appreciated his support in consistently communicating with vendors on our behalf. Highly recommend his talents and look forward to working with him again.

Ken is attentive and fast. He gave me various ideas before I chose Le Meridien - which feels like a mistake after the fact - and he was always available to help when I reached out.

Ken is one of the best travel advisers I've had the pleasure of working with. We talked through various options on our extended stay in Paris, and made some selections and then during the trip, Ken reached out just enough to make sure our plans were still on track and when we had to adjust, he was on top of every detail. Ken is a wonderful, gifted and now trusted adviser. Can't recommend him highly enough.
