I believe the best trips strike a balance between experiencing the highlights and blending in with the locals. Maybe you spend the morning touring castles in Scotland, and the afternoon sipping pints in a cozy neighborhood pub, trading stories with the regulars while live music plays in the background. After all, no one knows the heart of a place — its history, culture and cuisine — better than the people who call it home. My ideal itinerary always includes a mix of experiences: something active (like hiking, kayaking or walking for miles through a buzzing city), something educational (think museums, gardens, galleries and local tours) and something luxurious (whether it’s a beautiful meal with wine pairings, a boutique shopping spree or a night in a five-star hotel).

With personal travel experience in 31 countries and most US states, I bring a deep passion and perspective to every trip I plan. Whether you're dreaming of a honeymoon, a family vacation, a couples’ escape, a bachelorette celebration or simply your next great adventure — I’d love to help bring it to life.
