Black Dog Luxury Travel My mission is to help you have extraordinary travel experiences. And every time I returned home changed in some new way because of these journeys.

So much of who we are is where we have been- William Langewiesche

For me, amazing travel experiences are a non-negotiable part of life. Over the years, I’ve been honored to have many of these adventures that have included friends, family, or my amazing dogs. My travels have given me a different perspective on the way that others live, and opened my eyes to historical events that I didn’t know hap

pened. I have had my soul restored by the beauty of the sea. Reconnected with gal pals over shopping, fine dining and clear pools of water. I have toured architectural wonders with my black boy dog. And I have had the privilege of unplugging and recharging with family and friends over amazing dinners and even more enlightening conversations. Simply put, the more I travel, the more I change and grow and I love helping others do the same. I love creating amazing experiences that people will carry with them forever. Which leads me to ask, what type of change do you seek right now and how can I help?

Some places you visit. Some places stay with you. Greece becomes part of you. 🇬🇷✨

There’s something about the way the sunlight dances on whitewashed buildings, the scent of the sea carried on the breeze, and the warmth of a local waving you into their taverna like an old friend.

Athens, where history whispers beneath your feet. Walk where philosophers and warriors once stood, where democracy was born, and where golden sunsets glow behind the Parthenon.

Naxos, where time slows. Golden beaches, lush valleys, and a relaxed rhythm of life that reminds you to savor every moment.

Paros, where beauty is effortless. Cobbled alleyways, bougainvillea in full bloom, and charming seaside villages where life feels simple—but rich.

Greece isn’t just a destination—it’s a feeling. One of freedom, joy, and belonging.

Have you been? Or is Greece still on your list? Drop a 💙 in the comments if this speaks to your soul.

My Story

When my husband and I decided to get married a billion years ago, we chose a destination wedding in Maui. Back then the internet was a baby, so I spent months reading every book I could get my hands on about Maui. I was excited, so it was worth it to spend so much time researching our wedding and honeymoon.

After a while our lives got busier and it became more and more difficult to put a lot of time into planning our vacations. Sometimes there was NO planning and worse! Because I didn’t have time for research, there were increasingly NO VACATIONS.

One of our best vacations was visiting friends that moved to the island of Bonaire by Aruba. It's known for scuba diving. We had the best trip going to all the local's favorite places and meeting the coolest people. That’s when I realized... people that LIVE on the island are the key to having the most AMAZING trips because they know the perfect places to go and the best things to do.

As I launched my travel agency, I realized having the perfect guide in every location who perfectly matches my client's style is an absolute must! I source the very best local guides for my clients and together we are able to create the absolute BEST vacation experiences!
