Biography

If we are a compilation of our experiences, travel has not only broadened what I have seen, it has shaped who I am. When I want to create a memorable trip, I think of it as a composition — made of unique elements that are brought into a wonderful whole. For my family, the world has been our classroom. Travel has been equally as important for my daughters as their formal education. Every one of our journeys has left us with expanded curiosity, lasting empathy, and mostly a profound sense of gratitude for the beauty of this world and the wide variety of cultures that represent its people.

I love the joy that travel brings and, in particular, the opportunity to design meaningful memories for my clients. Getting to know my clients personally allows me to create itineraries that are intended to expand beyond what they know and expect and dive into a world of surprise and delight. Creating moments that matter is what matters most.
