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.
