Travel style
Drawing on diverse ecotourism experiences—from revitalizing tourist destinations post-disaster, to designing luxury resorts in the South Pacific, to crafting small destinations through storytelling—travel for me is a joyous deep dive into local culture. It's a personal journey guided by quality and aesthetics, with thoughtful impact as a baseline.
I adore slower travel, carving out space for those unplanned 'aha' moments that frequently become the highlights of any journey. The hotel? I obsess over it because it's not just a place to rest—it's a crucial part of the experience and an opportunity to leave a gentle footprint. So, whether it's a lavish five-star sojourn or an intimate local hideaway, I want to make every travel moment count, beautifully and profoundly.

Katy is amazing. She works very hard to find the right place for her client and provide any additional services she can to make our experience as good as it can be. I love working with her and look forward to the next trip she is helping to plan this September.
