About

I've had the pleasure to call New York City, Michigan, and Scotland home and now I’m settled in beautiful Colorado. My favorite part of designing itineraries is striking that perfect balance of relaxation, adventure and cultural discovery—whether it’s savoring local dishes or exploring historic sites. With my trusted network of partners, I handle every detail, so all you have to do is enjoy a seamless, memorable journey tailored just for you.

Travel style

My travel style blends luxury with a love for venturing off the beaten path. I’m all about finding those hidden spots, exploring remote beaches and local touches—like a stroll through a neighborhood grocery store—to make each trip uniquely immersive.

Nancy took a vague request (“Get us out of here” and dates) and turned it into a great four nights at a good rate with plenty of perks and extras. She is always responsive and clear and you can hear her smile in her communications.
