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 many of my services come at no additional cost to you. For a full breakdown of what's included and any planning fees that apply, visit my Services & Fees page. I believe in complete transparency, and everything is laid out clearly there.

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.

Beyond the bookings, I bring lived experience. I'm a PADI-certified diver who has explored some of the world's most extraordinary underwater destinations — and I know what separates an exceptional dive operator from a forgettable one. I've hiked and cycled through landscapes that still stay with me, traveled with a golfer's eye for the world's finest courses, and sought out the kind of wellness experiences that leave you genuinely restored. That firsthand perspective shapes how I evaluate every operator, property, and itinerary I recommend.

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.

Having someone in your corner makes all the difference. I maintain close relationships with every supplier I book, which means I can act quickly and effectively when something shifts. You'll have a real person on your side — one who already knows your trip and knows exactly who to call.

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.

The easiest way is to fill out the contact form on this site — share a little about what you're dreaming of, and I'll be in touch within one business day to set up a complimentary discovery call. Every great trip starts with a conversation, and I'd genuinely love to hear about yours.

If you'd rather just reach out directly, you're always welcome to call or email. I'd love to hear from you.
