Questions Worth Asking
Everything you want to know before we start planning.
I earn a commission from the hotels, cruise lines and operators I book — which means my services come at no additional cost to you. In some cases, a planning fee may apply for complex custom itineraries. I'll always be transparent about this upfront.
For most trips, 6–12 months ahead gives us the best selection and flexibility. For peak seasons, popular river cruises or special events, 12–18 months is ideal. That said, I've worked magic on shorter timelines — so don't hesitate to reach out even if your trip is closer.
When you book online, you get a transaction. When you work with me, you get an advocate, a designer and a partner. I bring Virtuoso-exclusive amenities, trusted relationships with the world's best suppliers, and the ability to handle anything that comes up — before, during and after your trip. For a deeper look at what Virtuoso membership specifically unlocks for your trip, take a look at my Virtuoso page.
I specialize in luxury cruises — both ocean and river — as well as bespoke land journeys, celebration travel and group experiences. But I also bring something personal to the table: I'm an active, adventurous traveler myself, and that firsthand experience shapes every itinerary I design.
I'm a PADI-certified diver, so if you're dreaming of exploring the Great Barrier Reef, the cenotes of Mexico, or the waters of the Maldives, I know exactly what to look for in a dive destination and which operators meet the highest standards. I'm equally at home planning hiking and biking adventures — from the trails of Patagonia to cycling through the Tuscan countryside — as well as golf trips to the world's most celebrated courses. I also have a deep appreciation for wellness travel, from rejuvenating spa retreats to immersive wellbeing experiences at the world's finest resorts.
Whatever kind of traveler you are, if you're passionate about it, chances are I am too. If you're dreaming of it, it's worth a conversation.
That's exactly why you want an advisor rather than an app. I maintain relationships with every supplier I book, and I'm reachable when it matters. You'll never be left navigating a crisis alone.
I work across a wide range of budgets, always with the same goal: building the most meaningful experience possible for your investment. My expertise is in the luxury and premium space, where I have the deepest relationships and the greatest ability to add real value. If you're unsure whether we're the right fit, the best thing to do is reach out — that conversation is always free.
Absolutely. Solo travel is some of the most intentional, rewarding travel there is, and I bring the same care and attention to a solo journey as I do to any group trip. You'll never feel like an afterthought — quite the opposite.
I also occasionally host small group trips for clients who love the idea of traveling with a like-minded community. If you'd enjoy having a travel companion or the energy of a curated group — without the stress of organizing one yourself — I'd love to talk. Hosted travel is something I'm genuinely passionate about, and I'm always open to the conversation.
I've had the privilege of traveling widely, and while I don't claim deep expertise in any single corner of the world, that breadth is genuinely one of my strengths. More importantly, I have a trusted network of on-the-ground partners in destinations across the globe — people who know their region intimately and bring real insider access that no guidebook can replicate.
So wherever you're dreaming of going, you're not just getting my perspective — you're getting the collective knowledge of a network built over years. That's a resource I'm proud to put to work for you.
