16 Years of Experience

Curated Private Luxury Tour Specialist

For the past 14 years, I have created customized luxury itineraries for honeymoons, anniversary trips, multi-generational family journeys, solo adventures, and other travelers passionate about exploring other cultures.

My favorite trips to design are those heavy on culture, whether it’s castles, sacred spaces, or exploring fine art, dance, or architecture. I am also a certified holistic health counselor and advise that guests include wellness experiences during their travels (it can help greatly with jet lag!). With plentiful spas, yoga and meditation classes, and endless soft adventure options, travel in Asia offers experiences for mind, body and soul.  

Originally from the East Coast of the United States, where I lived in New York for many years, I have also been a student, expat and/or digital nomad in Bangkok, Singapore, London, Berlin, Dublin, and Barcelona. I just relocated to California after 10 years living abroad. The experience of living in Asia and Europe for so many years gives me an insider's perspective, allowing me to create truly personalized itineraries for my client's.

My commitment to exemplary service and expert tour planning has been recognized by Travel +Leisure magazine, who have named me to their A-List of Travel Experts four times. 

Sustainable tourism  has long been an interest of mine. I wrote my master's thesis on sustainable tourism solutions for over-tourism in Europe. On my travels, I enjoy scouting resorts that expertly combine luxury with sustainability, and have found many incredible resorts offering world class service, comfort, and style, while protecting and enriching their surrounding communities and environments. 

So far in my travels, I have visited 60 countries on 6 continents.
