TRAVEL SERVICES

Personalized travel services rooted in expertise— designed to inspire & connect

Working together begins with understanding what matters most to you — how you love to travel, the pace you prefer, and the experiences that move you. From our first conversation to the final details, every step is guided by intention, care, and creativity. I combine decades of industry expertise with a designer’s eye for storytelling to craft journeys that feel seamless, personal, and deeply meaningful.

What You Might Be Feeling Right Now -

You love the idea of travel — but not the endless hours it takes to plan it. The research, the comparisons, the second-guessing. Maybe you’ve spent weeks trying to piece together an itinerary that makes sense, or you’ve fallen into the overwhelm of too many options and not enough confidence to choose.

You want something more meaningful than another packaged trip — something that feels you — but between managing logistics, coordinating schedules, and keeping track of all the moving parts, it’s hard to know where to begin. You’re craving ease, insight, and a trusted hand to turn ideas into a journey that feels seamless and inspired from start to finish.

Let Me Handle the Details,
So You  Can Enjoy the Experience

Working together means you can travel with confidence, knowing every detail has been thoughtfully arranged. Your itinerary fits you — not a template — balancing time to explore, rest, and experience the rhythm of a place. Maybe it’s a drive through Norway’s dramatic fjords, a walking tour through the centuries-old streets of the hilltown of Porto, or learning the layered history of Edinburgh — an ancient city crowned by a castle overlooking the rooftops below.

You’re supported before, during, and after the trip, with trusted local partners and seamless logistics so you can focus on what matters most: being fully present. It’s travel that feels effortless, meaningful, and unmistakably yours.

The Benefits of Working
with Me

When we work together, you gain more than a perfectly planned trip — you gain a trusted partner who listens, refines, and designs with intention. I draw on over two decades of experience and long-standing global connections to ensure every detail feels seamless and personal.

From the first conversation to your return home, you’ll have expert guidance, insider access, and the confidence of knowing everything has been thoughtfully curated for you. No stress, no guesswork — just meaningful travel that reflects who you are and how you want to experience the world.

It’s not just about where you go, but how it changes the way you see the world.

"You have been a pleasure to work with on a very complicated trip. Your detailed communications were so helpful in planning, and we are so thankful for your connections that helped us while we were in Norway. We look forward to working with you again soon (hopefully we will have an easier trip this time!!) Thank you for everything."

the travel design process

Your journey comes to life seamlessly, with expert coordination and trusted local partners supporting you along the way.
All that’s left for you to do is travel — confident, inspired, and fully present in each moment.


Travel is never a one-size-fits-all, I create custom designed experiences for families, solo travelers, couples and small groups of friends - from slow explorations of Europe to far-reaching adventures across the globe.

My approach blends deep local knowledge with creative design, so each journey feels intentional, inspiring, and completely your own.

You’ll have access to on-the-ground support from my trusted local partners and 24/7 assistance for emergencies or last-minute changes. My goal is to ensure your trip remains smooth and worry-free — even when plans evolve.

What happens if I need to adjust plans while traveling?

Because each itinerary is unique, my design fees vary depending on the scope and complexity of the trip. During our initial consultation, I’ll outline my fee structure clearly so you’ll know exactly what to expect before we begin.
