I’ve loved to travel for as long as I can remember and feel most fulfilled when planning life-changing vacations for discerning travelers like you. I love to see others experience the world and grow from travel, and I’ll admit, I love the research and puzzling out of a great itinerary. As opposed to an online booking engine, we’ll get to know each other – after all, you want to trust the person planning your favorite days of the year! Whether you enjoy being involved in the planning, or prefer a seasoned travel advisor to take the reins, together we’ll make your travel dreams a reality.
I realized travel planning came naturally to me after planning a flawless, month-long trip to Italy and Greece. Saying goodbye to my long corporate career, I moved into luxury travel in 2018, allowing me to share my passion for travel planning with those who seek to wander the world, near and far. I specialize in sunshine, but can and will work as your ally to take you wherever your daydreams do.
After you complete my trip design form, I’ll connect by phone or Zoom, to make sure I understand your travel style and what makes your heart sing! A complimentary consultation allows us to get to know each other and for me to answer any questions you may have.
I begin my research and reach out to my top travel partners to design a trip customized to your unique desires. Your feedback ensures we are on the right path. We’ll work together to tweak the details until they are perfect.
After you accept the final quote, I’ll book and reserve all of the components for your trip to ensure a seamless adventure.
Set off to enjoy the bespoke vacation I’ve created just for you! Rest assured, I’ll be available to you during your travels. The trip of your dreams will have become a reality with none of the hassle, truly everything you deserve!
After all, as with many things in life these days, who you know, and what they know, can make all the difference between “meh” and magnificent.
That’s where I come in - a well-seasoned, well-connected advisor, someone who has traveled, experienced, learned, discovered and reflected on the very places and types of travel of which you dream. When it comes to experiencing the best of the world, it’s about who you know.
And I have these connections.
Planning a closer-to-home honeymoon, a multi-generational family reunion on a dude ranch, a classic national park trip, or a weekend in New York City? This is our starting point.
Not sure where you want to go, but know you just want to go somewhere? Here are a few of my favorite domestic vacation ideas:
This more personalized service allows me additional flexibility and range when planning out your perfect vacation. In the past, I have planned for two families traveling together to Croatia for 10 days with some overlapping time. I arranged for hotels and unique experiences like traveling by private yacht and a tour of Korkula. I’ve also had the pleasure of curating an intensive, three-week vacation throughout Sicily and a two-week trip through Budapest, Germany and Amsterdam via train - among many others! The sky’s the limit.
VIP Travel Planning is just as it sounds - you’re the VIP and I’m here to make your travel dreams come true. With this service, I am capable of providing more hands-on planning services, meeting with you in person if that is what you prefer. This is an ideal choice for a discerning traveler with limited time, yet who craves superbly crafted, personalized service.
If your travel needs don’t fall into one of these buckets, not to worry. All of my travel services are available a la carte. Need a hotel room in San Francisco? Have your eye on an all-inclusive luxury resort in the Caribbean, or an upscale cruise? From multi-generational vacations to destination weddings, from small group getaways to large group experiences, my flexible travel-planning services are easily customized to your needs.

Not sure where you want to go, but know you just want to go somewhere? Here are a few of my favorite domestic vacation ideas:
• Beach Getaways: Long weekends full of sun and sand on the beach, exploring seaside towns, sinking into luxurious massages, and hiking.
• City Escapes: Broadway shows in New York City, wild west fun in Jackson Hole, the symphony in Seattle with VIP tickets. Whatever city speaks to you, I’ll make sure you do it right.
• Unique Road Trip Itineraries: Route 66, The Coast Highway in California, national parks in Oregon and Washington, ranging from a week to three weeks, or longer. It’s all about where you want to go and how long you have; leave the planning to me.

Scenario: You’re a leisure or business traveler who prefers the finer things in life and every imaginable amenity when you travel. You’ll pay a set travel-planning fee for the year. I meet with you in person at the start of the year to review your currently anticipated travel, goals that may have shifted, new needs or destination choices, etc. Throughout the year, you let me know when you’re ready for me to start planning and away I go, coming back to you with a meticulously crafted trip, whether it’s a weekend away in Napa or a once-in-a-lifetime journey to Bhutan. All the planning is covered in one annual fee.

Once I have agreed upon the general parameters of your trip, I will create the initial proposal. This is not the final itinerary, just the starting point to get me on the right track. The more I work together on travel plans, the better I will be able to know your specific style. As you continue to provide feedback, I will hone the details until it is perfect for you.
Because the work I do involves custom trip planning, the time spent on your trip is uniquely yours. Starting from scratch is absolutely possible, but it will require another trip-planning fee.
Each vacation itinerary will be invoiced as an entire package, inclusive of all components we have agreed upon. Supplier contracts are often confidential and do not permit us to provide itemized pricing. If you wish to amend your itinerary, I will reprice your total trip cost.
Cancellation costs vary by supplier. Due to the highly customized nature of your vacation, trip insurance is strongly recommended in the event you need to cancel or postpone your trip. If you would like a policy that includes the ability to cancel for any reason, please let me know.
Your final itinerary will be available 10-14 days before departure. You will receive a digital and hard copy with all of your information.
Travel insurance for all trips is highly recommended. After your trip deposit has been submitted, I will provide you with a quote. You are welcome to research other policies as well.
