Great travel isn’t always just about where you g Great travel isn’t always just about where you go, it’s about how you dine once you get there.

Beachfront Michelin stars on the Riviera, underwater restaurants that feel like another world, rooftop wine tastings in Portugal, and slow breakfasts with jungle views in Bali — these are the kinds of meals that turn a trip into something unforgettable.

Craving something standout on your next escape? Let me know! I'll handle the bookings, the timing, and all the insider touches.

I'll help you build a trip that weaves together the cities, coastlines, and countryside, with my favorite hotels and insider recs along the way.

Barcelona’s art and architecture, Madrid’s museum scene and energy, San Sebastián’s culinary brilliance, Mallorca’s beach-meets-mountain charm... I could go on.

Spring 2026 might feel far away, but not when it c Spring 2026 might feel far away, but not when it comes to the best travel experiences.

Cherry blossom season in Japan, late-season skiing in the Canadian Rockies, and Costa Rica’s ideal dry-season weather all book up fast, and for good reason. The earlier you plan, the more options (and perks) you’ll have.

I'll help you secure the right resorts, guides, and flights before peak demand hits. Your future self will thank you.

Matera is one of the most fascinating places in It Matera is one of the most fascinating places in Italy, and staying in a cave hotel carved into the cliffs makes it even more memorable.

At Hotel Sant’Angelo, suites are built right into the stone, with vaulted ceilings, handcrafted furnishings, and terraces that look out over the canyon.

The city itself is a UNESCO World Heritage site filled with winding alleys, rooftop views, and a food scene that’s seriously worth exploring. I'll help you pair it with Puglia or the Amalfi Coast and make sure you get all the best insider touches while you're there.

Few cities do bold luxury quite like Dubai. Skyli Few cities do bold luxury quite like Dubai.

Skyline views from rooftop bars, shopping in gold souks and futuristic malls, desert safaris at sunset, and hotels that push the limits of design and indulgence. Dubai is a city of contrasts and experiences.

Planning a stopover or a full itinerary? I'll guide you to the best of it all.

Milestone birthdays, retirement celebrations, new Milestone birthdays, retirement celebrations, new chapters - the big moments in life deserve something extraordinary.

Il Borro in Tuscany is one of my top picks for a multi-generational trip. Set on a working estate with villas, wine cellars, and rolling hills as your backdrop, it’s a destination that brings families together in the best way.

I'll help you plan everything — private chefs, vineyard dinners, even horseback rides for the kids. Let’s make it meaningful.

I'll set up everything from Champagne on arrival to spa treatments, private yacht sails, and a stargazing experience you'll never forget. All you need to do is show up and unwind. Message me to start planning!

Viceroy Los Cabos is the kind of place that makes Viceroy Los Cabos is the kind of place that makes you pause mid-scroll...and it’s even better in person.

This is modern luxury that delivers serious wow-factor: elevated walkways zigzag over still water, and every angle seems made for a photoshoot.

The rooftop bar is a favorite for sunset cocktails, but the real hidden gem is the spa — guests often don’t realize there’s a full hydrotherapy circuit tucked behind those minimalist white walls. Prefer privacy? The beachfront cabanas are worth the splurge — and I can reserve the quiet corner ones in advance.

Insider tip: some of the rooms get that perfect golden light in the late afternoon (I know which ones). Message me to learn more!

• Bhutan – happiness-focused travel, Himalayan temples, and carbon-negative calm
• Sumba Island – remote Indonesian beauty, luxury villas, and surfing without the crowds

I'm booking these for clients who want to go deeper, further, and way off the beaten path.

Big celebrations deserve more than just a hotel bo Big celebrations deserve more than just a hotel booking.

When you’re planning a milestone trip — a birthday, anniversary, or a long-overdue family gathering — working with a travel advisor gives you access to the kind of experiences and personalization you won’t get by booking online.

One of my favorites? Son Bunyola in Mallorca. Set on 1,300 acres along the island’s northwest coast, this retreat from Sir Richard Branson isn’t your typical villa rental.

Each of the three villas comes with a full staff, a private pool, and views that stretch from the Tramuntana mountains to the sea. But what really makes it special is how customizable the experience is. Want a flamenco guitarist for dinner? A vineyard tour with a local winemaker? A private boat to hidden coves? Done.

I'll make sure it’s effortless, elevated, and tailored to the celebration. You just bring the people and the reason to toast.

Some people still underestimate what travel adviso Some people still underestimate what travel advisors actually do — so let’s clear up a few common myths:

Myth: “Using a travel advisor will cost me more.”
Reality: I often save you money. With my industry connections, I secure special rates and perks you won’t find online — upgrades, daily breakfast, spa credits — all at no extra cost to you.

Myth: “I can book everything myself online.”
Reality: Of course — but can a website handpick the perfect hotel that fits your style and get you the room with the best view? I bring experience and relationships that make all the difference — and I handle the details when things go sideways.

Myth: “Advisors just book flights and hotels.”
Reality: That’s just the beginning. I plan custom itineraries, secure exclusive experiences, match you with vetted guides, and take care of the logistics that turn a trip into something unforgettable.

Bottom line: I take care of all the details so you can focus on the fun. Curious about how it works? Message me — I’m always happy to chat.

I'm always on the lookout for those rare city hote I'm always on the lookout for those rare city hotels that feel like a well-kept secret — and The Brick Hotel in Mexico City’s Roma neighborhood is one of my favorites to share.

Housed in a restored Belle Époque mansion, this boutique stay pulls you in with its details: clawfoot tubs, retro record players and leafy balconies. While you’re in Roma, grab your morning espresso at Cardinal, browse the walls of Galería OMR, or enjoy a good book at Plaza Río de Janeiro.

Stylish, low-key, sustainable and full of personality — this is exactly the kind of place I love booking for clients. Let me plan your Mexico City stay with all the right recs and VIP touches.

If you love the idea of adventure — but prefer i If you love the idea of adventure — but prefer it with a little Champagne and a water-view suite — you’ll want Aqua Expeditions on your radar.

These are small, design-forward eco-friendly ships with style (I'm talking no more than 20-40 guests), and they sail routes the big cruise lines can’t touch. One of my favorites? The Amazon River, where you’ll explore by skiff with expert naturalists, spotting pink dolphins and sloths in the treetops before returning to a gourmet meal and sunset cocktails on deck.

The service is exceptional, the cabins are surprisingly spacious, and every itinerary feels special. Message me to learn more!

A friendly reminder from your travel advisor: here A friendly reminder from your travel advisor: here are two important rule changes to keep on your radar before your next trip:

REAL ID for U.S. Flights: Starting May 2025, a REAL ID–compliant driver’s license (or a passport) will be required to fly domestically within the U.S. Check your license for a star marking — if it’s missing, you’ll need to get a REAL ID or travel with your passport.

UK Entry Requirements: Traveling to the United Kingdom? U.S. travelers are now required to apply for an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) before entering the UK — even for short stays. It’s a quick online application, but it must be completed and approved before departure.

When you book with me, I'll make sure you’re fully prepared — documents, deadlines, and all.

With only a few hundred guests (max), their small ships and sleek sailing yachts glide into ports that the bigger ships can’t even attempt: hidden harbors, off-the-map islands, and those postcard-perfect Mediterranean villages that most travelers never reach.

Curious about routes? I know the best ones — and exactly when to go. Get in touch with me today to start planning!
