adventures

Journey to where the sun kisses the sea with a luxurious stay at a world-class resort. Let’s let all your island fantasies come to life, whether that’s in an overwater bungalow in Bali, chic suite in St. Lucia, or an oceanfront villa in Bora Bora.

When a large part of your itinerary involves lounging in paradise, location makes a big difference. I’ll guide you to the resorts I know offer the best beaches, most gorgeous views, and truly luxurious ambiance. With access to the top boutique and all-inclusive properties around the globe, I can design a luxe resort stay that pampers and awes you at every turn.

Luxury Resorts

Sun & Sand

Tour a spice souk in Marrakech, fully enveloped in the riot of color and aroma. Set off at dusk in search of truffles deep in the Tuscan countryside, led by a wizened local guide and his trusty dog. Wander past boats piled high with ripe mangoes and dragon fruit at a floating market in Vietnam, while vendors beckon you to take a taste.

Let me design an out-of-the-ordinary travel experience sure to electrify your taste buds—and reveal fascinating insights into your destination’s culture. We’ll prioritize intimate, immersive excursions that get you interacting one-on-one with locals who fiercely guard their culinary traditions, whether that’s a chef, vintner, farmer, chocolatier, or artisan producer.

Immersive Culinary Experiences

Delicious Discovery

Experience a more elevated way to cruise, as you explore the special ports and places mega cruise ships miss. Sail through stunning landscapes like the Mediterranean Coast on a luxury small-ship cruise, where you’ll enjoy more elbow room on board and more intimate port experiences. Or, journey inland via the world’s most legendary waterways on a nimble river cruise through Europe. Grand castles, old-growth vineyards, and pretty-as-a-postcard stone villages are yours to discover.

I’ll pair you with the ideal ship and itinerary for your travel preferences. Don’t want the exploring to end? Let me craft a custom land-based itinerary that extends your trip pre or post-cruise.

River + Small Ship Cruises

Come Sail Away

Share the discovery—and deepen your bonds—on a group travel experience to remember. Foster connections with your favorite people as you explore astounding landscapes, from sensational safaris in South Africa to private villa stays in Turks and Caicos. Wherever you go, and whomever you travel with, I’m here to make all the complicated group travel logistics effortless for you. And whether it’s a multigenerational family journey, a long-overdue BFF getaway, or even a bond-building trip with your affinity group or organization, I’ll ensure that your custom itinerary provides the ideal balance of together time and solo exploration.
