My Story

As a corporate lawyer for over a decade, I helped clients turn their business goals into reality, being proactive in offering solutions to issues my clients had maybe not even noticed yet, being responsive to their questions and requests so they felt comfortable I was paying attention and was in their corner, and providing my expertise on the business and legal trends I was seeing in the market so they felt confident they were making the right decisions. I bring these skills and experience to travel planning. I am an expert in doing in-depth research on the best options to meet your preferences, translating industry jargon into practical suggestions you can actually use, and coordinating the on-the-ground suppliers involved in executing the perfect experience. I’ve also traveled a lot lot lot—I’ve wandered, hiked, safari-ed, snorkeled, glamped, and/or expedition cruised all seven continents, so am personally familiar with many, many destinations. And anywhere I haven’t been personally, I have an extensive network of expert colleagues and vetted local partners as resources.

I also understand how busy your life already is, juggling work, family, and limited time off, because I’ve done the same, fitting my own extensive travels into a corporate career. You can trust me to stay on top of your trip details and logistics with the same attention and commitment as I brought to multimillion-dollar legal transactions. My job is to ensure the process is smooth and stress-free for you, allowing you to focus on your career, family, and other priorities, while I turn your travel dreams into reality!

Travel Style

Growing up, my parents were big roadtrippers. It was mostly because we didn't have the money to fly back then, but that didn't stop us from seeing the country—we’d pile into the hatchback and drive hours across the country to observe the geological wonders of Yellowstone or go fishing in a neighboring state's rivers. ​​​​​​

I’ve inherited their restlessness and curiosity, albeit on a more international scale (flying required), spending a semester abroad in Australia in college, a year living in Cape Town after college, and for over a decade thereafter, diligently saving up my annual bonuses and PTO to snorkel with sea lions in the Galapagos, climb Mayan ruins in Belize and Mexico, and find my zen in Bali. ​I've walked 30k+ steps a day eating my way through Italy, Japan, China, and Taiwan, and <100 steps from my hotel room to do nothing but read all day on the beach in Turks & Caicos. I've set foot on all seven continents, freezing my face off, getting up close and personal with polar bears up in the icy tundra of Churchill, Canada (worth it!), and again all the way at the bottom of the earth practicing my waddling alongside penguins in Antarctica. I’ve been on safari in South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Kenya, and Tanzania, snorkeled with whale sharks off the coast of Mozambique, hiked among lemurs in Madagascar, futilely attempted to stay dry from the pounding waters of Victoria Falls in Zambia, ran down red sand dunes in Namibia, and trekked up mountains in Rwanda in search of gorillas. My favorite city in the world is Cape Town.

​These days, I take my parents on a trip annually to thank them for those early adventures—and I am so excited to help you explore the world as well!
