My entrée into travel planning came at the age of seventeen when I organized a high school graduation trip to Cancun, an easy tropical getaway I had visited often with my parents. From that point on I truly understood the transformative power of travel, and what a gift it was to offer this to others.

I've shared tips, tricks, and detailed itineraries gleaned from my extensive global explorations with family and friends for decades. Now as a professional travel advisor, my meticulous attention to detail allows me to take care of the minutiae so my discerning clients can simply relax into the adventure of travel.

My degree in Art History and decade of experience running Florida's lauded J. Johnson Gallery have provided a unique perspective on art and culture that inspires my approach to luxury travel design. I adore orchestrating unique experiences like wandering the Metropolitan Museum of Art before it opens to the public or securing the best guides to share fascinating stories behind the art hanging on the walls.

Luxury hotels and spa & wellness getaways are a particular specialty. Who doesn’t enjoy returning home from a holiday refreshed and relaxed, ready to carry forward this positive momentum into daily life? From tips on the best steam rooms and most unique spa treatments around the world to arranging holistic healing treatments like acupuncture or meditation retreats with gifted practitioners, I handle the details to allow for relaxation before and during travels.
