Dream Travel Specialist
What is your travel dream? There's a good chance I've been where you want to go, so I offer a nuanced perspective that you won't find in a guidebook. I will help you find a trip that really suits you. Having traveled to every state in the U.S. and set foot on all seven continents, I’m familiar with many bucket-list destinations. I genuinely want my clients to find the right fit, and I’m happy to answer lots of questions and talk through the details. I specialize in luxury and premium travel, but everyone has a different definition of luxury and yours is the only one that matters to me. Whether you’re dreaming of a luxurious small-ship cruise, a pampering beachside resort, a once-in-a-lifetime private European tour, an extravagant African safari, or even flying on a private jet, you’ve come to the right place. But don’t worry if your definition of luxury is less ambitious, I’m happy to find the perfect fit for you.

Luxury Travel Specialist
Perhaps it’s cruising on a small ship with fantastic food and a high crew to passenger ratio. Maybe it’s a small-group European land tour with an emphasis on experiential learning.
