About

I'm a lifetime travel professional because I am passionate about what I do: connecting with different cultures, looking at amazing art and being a human rights ally! I also love to travel with my kids.

Travel style

I’m all about balance – I love luxury and then traveling rustic or off-the-beaten-path to see something you are passionate about. I’m particularly driven by planning cause-based travel, and bring decades of experience to planning thoughtfully executed experiences to life for families and groups of all sizes. My work has been celebrated by Conde Nast Traveler and Travel + Leisure.
