I've spent 17 years pursuing perfection in travel design.  As a passionate, and constant traveler myself, I spend 4-5 months a year on the road, exploring and investigating destinations, hotels, and partnerships that benefit my clients and make their travel experiences exceed their expectations.  I meet with hoteliers and tour operators at conferences several times a year to maintain my connections and to keep my relationships with my partners strong, which translates to VIP care for my clients.

I create unique itineraries in most of the world, with the majority of my business encompassing Europe, South America, Africa and Asia.  There are, however, very few destinations where I do not have either personal experience or trusted partners to be sure that your trip is as magical as possible.  I also love cruising and work with all the luxury cruise lines, on the high seas and the rivers of the world.  My cruise partners are: Silversea, Regent, Seabourn, Atlas Ocean Adventures, Sea Dream Yacht Club, Explora Journeys.  I do not work with mass market cruise lines (Carnival, Norwegian, Holland America).

I love travel, and I believe it promotes both understanding and the expansion of one's horizons in so many ways.  We take you, whenever possible, off the heavily traveled roads and into the hidden gems you may have otherwise missed.  I encourage you to slow down and really dig into a place - it's culture, people, history and cuisine.  I believe travel is not just a list of "must sees" to be checked off a list.  It's about getting to know a place intimately.  I therefore encourage you to spend more time in 1 country rather than trying to squeeze 2, 3 or 4 into a two week trip.  I will work with you and guide you based on my own experience, but ultimately it's your trip, and I work for you.  Travel planning is a partnership and there is nothing I enjoy more than creating a plan with my clients for the best travel experience they can have.  I have a long list of repeat clients, many of whom have been with me since the beginning and I now plan trips for their children!

There are few places I have been that I haven't liked, but Italy is my favorite destination and Florence is my favorite city.  I visit Italy at least 1-2 times a year.  Some other favorites:  Ecuador/Galapagos, Africa, Ireland, Australia, Argentina.  It's a big world and I'm not nearly done exploring.  I'd love to help you explore it too!
