Travel style
Travel should be a time to expand your mind, reset your thinking and relax your body. I believe in high-touch experiences that deepen one's understanding of the culture or area being explored. My personal focus has always been on the history and food of the regions I visit, with a particular emphasis on wine, as I am a certified sommelier. More recently, with two young daughters, I have begun to explore family-friendly travel. Most importantly, I seek balance in trips, combining exciting and educational experiences with relaxed time for processing, bonding and decompression.

We could not be happier with the level of service that we got from Meghan. She listened to our thoughts about our trip with an attentive ear, and put into place a perfect itinerary. She has been flexible and thoughtful about adjustments as our plans have changed and more people have joined the party. We are looking forward to the trip with excitement and confidence given all the attention to detail that has gone into our planning.
