About

As a former corporate executive specializing in Operations and Client Service, I've turned my lifelong passion for travel into a full-time profession. I've explored 35 countries across five continents, often journeying solo to capture the world through my lens as an avid photographer. My travels reflect my love for adventure, global cuisine, wildlife and the great outdoors. Today, I bring that wealth of experience to designing personalized, unforgettable journeys for others. Whether it’s crafting intricate itineraries or discovering hidden gems, I thrive on making each client’s travel dreams come to life. Travel isn’t just a career — it’s what feeds my soul, and I can’t wait to share that joy with you.

Travel style

I love to experience new places and immerse myself in the local culture. The perfect trip for me is a combination of local activities/sightseeing and then retiring to my luxury accommodations to rest up for tomorrow's activities! While I love a five-star hotel, I’ve stayed in many types of accommodations and love to mix it up. I enjoy adventure, food & wine, relaxation and “wow moments” (sunset in the Sahara, Leopard safari in India, Hot Air balloon ride over the Masai Mara). As an avid conservationist, I strive to plan trips that contribute directly to the local economy. I am always on the look-out for unique destinations, and enjoy tailoring trips for my clients that will create lasting memories.
