Our Story
Most people don’t need more travel ideas—they need help turning them into an itinerary that works.
After years spent planning and executing complex schedules, logistics, and multi-country travel at the highest levels of government and business, I learned that the details matter—and that every good Plan A deserves a Plan B.
Today, I design cohesive, well-structured trips built around your high (and low) travel priorities—whether that means extra passport pages or just a full tank of gas and a great playlist.
(And yes—I can pack for a two-week international trip in less than 30 minutes using only a carry-on. Years of practice.)
There's No Right Answer. It's Travel. Your Way.
Travel Style
My approach is simple: every trip is different, and your priorities can change from one journey to the next.
Sometimes the business-class flight or hotel suite is a must-have. Other times, the emphasis is on an exceptional guide, unique access, or a once-in-a-lifetime experience. There isn't a formula—and that's the point.
I work with you to understand your preferences and identify your highest and lowest priorities for a particular trip.
Drawing on trusted global partnerships, exclusive benefits, and industry relationships, I design bespoke itineraries built around what matters most to you.

It was so nice working with Liz. We were very conflicted on where to go on our summer vacation. Liz was so patient and with us in giving us multiple options. She understood our budget and booked us an amazing vacation. I would highly recommend using her, and I will definitely book more trips with her in the future.

Liz was great. She really listened to our group and built the experience based on our interests and preferences. There were 6 of us - my husband and I, our two sons, and their partners. And, we were not all traveling on the same days and were not all together the entire 3-week trip. So, there was a lot to think about and plan around. The tours Liz recommended were excellent, though some of the guides were better than others - but that is to be expected. The hotels were great - though the Mitsui Garden Ginza in Tokyo was probably our least favorite, but it was still totally fine. Liz had great tips and was helpful - even booking a tour for us in Kyoto when we were there - and the guide as excellent. Because we used credit card points for some of the airfare, Liz did not book our flights. And, in Japan, making restaurant reservations is a bit complicated and the restaurants often want information about guests, allergies, restrictions, etc. - so with a group of 6 and some food and allergy restrictions, it is actually better to ask the concierge at your hotel (a native speaker) to help you with reservations. The trip was smooth and very enjoyable. We would definitely work with Liz again.

Liz is the best!! She immediately grasped exactly the vacation vibe I was looking for and made perfect suggestions, including booking the ideal private tours to fully experience Nova Scotia. I can’t wait to work with her to plan the next adventure!

Liz is so great at her job.
She makes interesting choices for you to ponder, and I can't thank her enough for opening up our minds to try something totally different in glamping at Ulum.
We've traveled the world, and Liz was very instrumental in our previous trip to Bora Bora, New Zealand and Australia. We trusted her judgment to give Ulum a try... and it was a blast.
We have complete faith and confidence that she will literally head us in the right direction when it comes to vacation travel.

Thank you so much for your help and guidance with our trip. You really helped us narrow our focus down which was so helpful to us. The logistics you arranged were flawless. We'll be sure to call you when we next want to take another trip like this.

The Myst Dong Khoi: A Boutique Hotel Rooted in Saigon’s Shipyard Past
I’m always interested in hotels that have a sense of place and The Myst Dong Khoi certainly does. I stayed here for two nights during my time in Saigon aka Ho Chi Minh City and was drawn to its eclectic mix of local art, salvaged materials, tropical greenery and references to the neighborhood’s former shipyard. It’s an unconventional take on a luxury hotel—colorful, layered and full of personality—and a great fit for travelers who want their hotel to feel distinctly connected to Saigon.

Queenstown, New Zealand: A Guide to Adrenaline Adventures, Local Flavors & Iconic Scenery
I spent time in Queenstown and the South Island in fall 2025, and it quickly became one of my favorite destinations for its mix of adventure, scenery, and great food. The landscapes are big and dramatic, but planning a trip here isn’t always straightforward—weather, drive times, and the logistics behind many experiences can make things tricky to navigate on your own. That’s why working with trusted on-the-ground partners is key to making the entire experience seamless, safe, and unforgettable.

3 Days in Kyoto: Bamboo Forests, Temples & Soba
Kyoto is a city of contrasts: centuries-old temples and quiet gardens sit alongside neon-lit arcades and 100-yen shops. Michelin-star dining just a few blocks from ramen counters. It’s every bit as magical as the photos, but also surprisingly approachable once you wander beyond the main sights. This three-day itinerary blends a balance of elevated and everyday experiences. For some, that’s a Michelin-star dinner; for others, it’s a 7-11 egg salad sandwich by the river. There’s no right answer. It’s travel. Your way.

Wine Country Without the Crowds: Your Guide to Los Alamos & Los Olivos, California
Los Olivos and Los Alamos are two of my favorite spots in California’s Santa Ynez Valley—walkable, relaxed, and full of local character. In Los Olivos, it’s all about small-town wine tastings, historic buildings, and easy charm—many of the tasting rooms are run by the same folks who farm the nearby vineyards. Los Alamos brings a little more edge, with vintage shops, standout food, and a quirky Western feel. Just two and a half hours from LA and 30 minutes from Santa Barbara, it’s an easy getaway where you can pack a lot of great meals, wine, and local shopping into a laid-back 36 hours.

How to Spend a 100-Degree Weekend in Palm Springs
Palm Springs has long been a favorite escape of mine—a place where desert serenity meets retro glam. I love this city: old-Hollywood charm, Spanish colonial architecture, and a relaxed, sun-soaked vibe that feels both luxurious and low-key. While most people flock here in winter and spring, the summer has its own magic—think fewer crowds, better rates, and pool days that stretch long into the evening. Is it hot? Yes. Is it worth a visit? Yes, again.
