Everyone has that one trip they dream about. The one that always stays at the top of the list.

Is it the Northern Lights? A safari in Africa? A private villa in Bali? An around-the-world cruise? Tell me yours, and let’s start planning something unforgettable.

This is one of those bucket list safaris that delivers on every detail.

Atzaró Okavango is a new ultra-luxury lodge in the heart of Botswana’s protected delta, and it's already making a name for itself among serious safari travellers. Private plunge pools, open-air decks for wildlife spotting, and design that reflects local craftsmanship.

Morning game drives. Sundowners by the fire. Dinner under the stars with the sounds of the delta all around you. I'll make sure your itinerary flows perfectly, and your experience feels effortless from start to finish. Reach out to start planning this bucket list trip!

Here’s a family getaway that checks every box, and then some.

Space to roam? Check. Wild adventures for the kids? Yep. Grown-up time with actual peace and quiet? Absolutely.

Paws Up in Montana combines the spirit of the American West with luxury everything: private homes, gourmet meals, and guided outdoor fun from sunrise to campfire. And when the kids head to camp, you head to the spa.

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.

For travellers who love bold design as much as bold reds, La Residence is unforgettable.

Set on a private estate in Franschhoek, this 11-suite property is known for its bold interiors: clawfoot tubs, eclectic antiques, chandeliers, and colourful fabrics in every room.

Beyond the design, guests can enjoy personalised wine tastings, long lunches with vineyard views, and exceptional service that makes the entire experience feel seamless. Peacocks on the lawn are just a bonus.

There aren’t many places in the world where I can watch the sun rise over one of the largest waterfalls on the planet - with the entire park still closed to the public.

That’s the perk of staying at Hotel das Cataratas, the only hotel inside Brazil’s Iguassu National Park. Guests get exclusive access before and after hours.

The resort itself is classic and colourful, with a great spa, a pool surrounded by jungle, and plenty of space to relax between adventures. I'll make sure I have the best room for the view and all the VIP touches handled.

When it comes to romance travel, the question is: where will love take you?

I specialize in creating swoon-worthy escapes that are as unique as each couple. Be it a honeymoon, an anniversary trip, or a “just because” getaway, travelling with the one you love makes any destination extra special.

I’ll handle all the romantic touches — rose petals on arrival, private sunset sails, couples’ spa rituals — so you can simply focus on each other. Where will love take you next?

Let’s be honest — most of us don’t realise how much we need a reset until we're already running on empty.

COMO Shambhala Estate in Bali is one of those rare places that doesn’t just slow you down — it recalibrates you. It’s not about chasing steps on a retreat schedule or sipping green juice for Instagram. It’s about space. Stillness. Quiet conversations with experts who actually listen. Treatments that go beyond the surface. Meals that nourish without rules or restrictions.

If you’ve been moving at full speed for too long, this is your invitation to pause. I’ll take care of the details. You just exhale.

Bora Bora has a brand-new luxury resort to swoon over! The Westin Bora Bora Resort & Spa opened its doors September 2024 (the island’s first new hotel in years). And it was worth the wait.

The resort offers everything from private plunge pools to an overwater spa. As one of the first guests, you’ll enjoy that “brand new resort” sparkle along with Westin’s top-notch service.

Ready to experience Bora Bora’s newest slice of paradise? I'll reserve your overwater bungalow and plan all the details.

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.

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 favourites? 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 customisable 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.

Travel allows us the privilege to learn and the opportunity to grow as we experience the world. It is very personal.

We become more sensitive to the natural world and increase our respect for the people and cultures who call it home.
