My Story
I plan trips for people who want to actually experience a place, not just pass through it.
Most of my travel has been built around adventure, culture, and getting off the typical tourist path. That might mean hiking and mountain time, food and local neighborhoods, or slowing down in one place instead of bouncing around just to check boxes. I care a lot about pacing, logistics, and making sure a trip feels easy once you land.
My role is to listen first, ask the right questions, and then design something that fits how you travel. Some people want early mornings and full days. Others want balance and space. Either way, the goal is the same. A trip that feels intentional and memorable.
Travel Style
I’m drawn to places that challenge you a bit and give you perspective. Mountains, lakes, natural wonders, UNESCO sites, history, hole-in-the-wall restaurants, local watering holes, and time outdoors are common threads in my own travel. I believe the best trips leave you feeling both energized and grounded.
If that sounds like how you like to travel, we’ll probably work well together.
