My Story
Boston-based, love exploring unique properties all over the world for business and leisure. Love art, music, food, wine and design.
Travel Style
I like to blur the line between boutique and luxury. Finding unique properties and experiences that fit into the local environment but have higher-end amenities and dining.
I love all aspects of travel and seek out new experiences in every situation, whether I'm flying a new airline, taking a scenic train, in a UNESCO hotel property, eating at a Michelin-Starred restaurant or sipping local wine. Feel free to ask me about any part of your journey!

Some lags in response time but everything was arranged well.
One question: when I tried to put my adult children’s names on the reservation for their room —as I needed to push my reservation back a day due to medical issues—they said I couldn’t do that bc it was booked by Tom. Is that normal ?

Property Spotlight: Villa Mahabhirom (Chiang Mai, Thailand)
Chiang Mai is a city I’ve spent a lot of time in and one of my favorite cities in Thailand. Far away from the beaches and party scene in the south, Chiang Mai is the capital of Northern Thailand, which used to be the kingdom of Lanna. Their unique food, culture, architecture and art all reflect the complex past of the region, having been ruled by Kingdoms in China, Burma and Ayutthaya, back and forth before uniting with the Kingdom of Siam (which became modern day Thailand).
This is one of my favorite properties in the city and is a perfect retreat from downtown. Chiang Mai is only a 90-minute flight from Bangkok, so it makes for an easy weekend getaway as well, if you're already planning a Thailand trip and want a change of scenery. You’ll stay in elegant antique homes turned into luxury villas, among a maze of plants, art and sculptures.

New York's Quiet Luxury: A Weekend Stay in the Upper East Side
I grew up in Boston, and despite our rivalry with NYC, it was always a quick train ride away, so we used to go all the time growing up. I even worked in Bryant Park (near Times Square) and would commute a couple times a month. But Times Square never felt like NYC to me, with its towering billboards, chain restaurants, throngs of tourists, skyscrapers and bright lights. My New York is quiet corner restaurants where celebrities and locals mix without any commotion, dimly lit jazz bars with hand-painted murals, walks in the park or a museum and storied hotels that host royalty and discerning travelers alike. This weekend's itinerary is a map of my New York, a New York that is understated, quiet and full of old world glamor.
