Sustainable and community-based travel resonate very strongly with me, as does immersive travel that has a positive impact on the communities l visit. And that is why I focus on small-ship expeditions and experiences, small group travel, active family vacations with responsible operators, and rail journeys. I also love the magic that happens when I put together bespoke private tours for couples, friends, and families, that exceed expectation. My experience has given me a strong sense of what each country has to offer and the many ways to interact with them.


I've had amazing travel experiences whether on land or on rivers or at sea and work with an amazing group of travel advisors and tour operators whose experience I can draw on. I've been to 6 of the 7 continuents - yes, Australia is the only one I have yet to experience. I immensely enjoyed small group travel in Peru, Costa Rica, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Turkey, and Myanmar and am a advocate for traveling that way. In terms of rail? I've spent five glorious days on the Rocky Mountaineer as well as rail throughout France, Poland, the Czech Republic, and Switzerland and a full-day ride on the UNESCO Toy Train to Shimla in India. I've skied the French and Italian Alps with Club Med and can speak to the amazing atmosphere they create for families, couples and friends - as well as to their values. I've been to Tignes, Val D'Isere and La Rosiere in the French Alps and would love to work with you to make the French Alps a reality for you.


Based on my experience, I am very equipped to provide you with many diverse options to consider for your travels. When I plan trips for you, you can feel confident that your experience will be the very best, given your time, budget, and interests, and that all of the details will have been taken care of. When you return, you'll feel like you got everything, plus more, out of your journey.
