Explore the World, Your Way
Exploring the world should be inspiring, exciting, and seamless. From the initial spark of an idea to the moment you return home, I help craft trips tailored to your needs, ensuring that every detail is taken care of. Here’s a closer look at the types of adventures I specialize in planning:
Tailor-Made Travel Adventures
Are you dreaming of a custom trip that’s unique to your interests? I specialize in designing itineraries that take you beyond the typical tourist spots, diving deep into cultural immersion and hidden gems. Whether you’re looking for thrilling outdoor adventures, culinary escapades, or artistic experiences, I’ll craft a journey that’s as distinctive as you are.
Examples of tailor-made trips: Exploring Mayan ruins in Belize, a wildlife safari in Kenya, or a culinary-focused tour through Italy’s countryside.
Perfect for: Solo travelers, couples, families, or anyone seeking a personalized adventure.
Customized itineraries don’t necessarily mean $$$$ either. I often work with moderate budgets, using accommodations that are in the 3-4 star range, to create travel journeys that bring you through culture and offer a broader view of the world because of it. If you do prefer more luxurious or higher end trips, I can definitely work with you as well, bringing an exclusive and distinctive set of accommodations and activities that reflect your taste. My relationships with local suppliers allow me to bridge both modest and deluxe budgets alike.

Escorted Group Journeys
For those who prefer camaraderie and ease while traveling, group tours can be a wonderful option. Today’s group tours are a far cry from the big bus tours of the past—they’re often intimate, immersive, and off the beaten path. I help connect you with tours that match your style and budget.
Examples of small group tours: An Arctic expedition to see polar bears, a guided trek through Patagonia, or a cultural discovery tour in Morocco.
Perfect for: Those who want to travel with like-minded individuals or prefer the structure and expertise of a guided tour.
In your travel consultation, we’ll discuss the features of the tour that matter most to you—whether it’s the group size, tour dates, inclusions, allotted free time, or anything else you value. I’ll use that insight to curate a list of options tailored to your preferences, ensuring every tour fits the bill. I don’t just copy and paste my favorite tour, I listen to your preferences and hand-select the best options for you.
Relaxed Beach Escapes
Sometimes, all you need is a serene escape to a warm, sandy shore. Whether it’s an all-inclusive resort or a boutique retreat, I can plan your ideal getaway to unwind and recharge.
Examples of beach vacations: Lounging on the Riviera Maya, a tranquil stay in Bali, or a family-friendly escape to the Florida Keys.
Perfect for: Families, honeymooners, or anyone needing a break from the hustle and bustle.
And hey, I’m still all about off the beaten path experiences, so when we plan your warm weather escape, I can also throw in some suggestions for excursions and things to do that bring you a step closer to understanding the culture or seeing the unique nature that the destination offers.
Sometimes a little R&R on a calm beach under the warm sun is all you need to recharge during the winter months.
Whether you're craving a cultural deep-dive, a thrilling trek, or a meaningful family adventure, I’ll help you design a trip as unique as you are.
Note: While I don’t typically research or provide options for the large ocean cruises, I’m happy to assist with booking if you already know which sailing you’d like to take.
Protect your health and investment when you’re there.
Travel insurance
Whether you’ve booked your trip through me or not, I can provide you with a travel insurance quote to safeguard your health and investment. Travel insurance goes beyond covering trip cancellations or interruptions*—it also typically includes medical, dental, and emergency coverage.
Given that many U.S. health insurance plans don’t fully cover you abroad, having this additional protection can be invaluable in case of unforeseen circumstances. From minor mishaps to medical emergencies, travel insurance ensures peace of mind so you can focus on enjoying your trip.
