About
Traveler since the ‘80s, lived in five countries. Travel transforms me every time — intentional, slow, healing and wellness are my jam.

Travel style
Immersion is my way — and always has been. I don’t just visit — I live, work and breathe a place. From the '80s to the 2000s, I set up camp in different corners of the world, stepping out my front door to explore like a local. Solo travel is my reset button — ocean, nearby, journal in hand, following instinct over itinerary.
For 19 years, I’ve curated journeys for my family, shaping confident explorers. I believe travel transforms — heals — reveals. Luxury with meaning, culture at your doorstep and secret waterside spots you won’t find in a guidebook. The rest? That’s up to you.
