Where We've Been & What We Use

One of my favorite parts of this job is watching the map fill up. Honeymooners in Tuscany. Families in Iceland. Anniversary trips in Japan. Graduation trips to Rome. Grandparents taking their grandkids on safari for the first time.

Every pin is a real trip. A real client. A real memory that didn't exist before someone decided to stop saying someday.

Haven't been everywhere — and I don't pretend to

When you work with me you're getting my personal experience where I have it, plus a network of vetted local partners and guides on the ground everywhere else. Your trip is never a guessing game.

What I recommend to every single client

Travel Insurance — RoamRight

Not optional. Travel is still real life and things go sideways — flights, health, cancellations. RoamRight is my preferred partner, especially if you need to cover preexisting conditions. One important detail: purchase within 14 days of your first trip deposit to get the best coverage.

My Amazon Packing List

No filler, no fluff. International adapters, packing cubes, travel fans for summer in Europe, compression bags, portable chargers, kids' travel gear. The things I actually travel with and recommend to clients regularly.

Cruise lines I book most

If you're interested in any of these, booking through my links or directly with me often comes with bonus perks or promotional rates when available:

  • AmaWaterways — my most-booked river cruise line. Warm, personal, and consistently excellent.

  • Uniworld — all-inclusive boutique river cruising with a wow factor that's hard to beat.

  • Virgin Voyages— adults-only, ultra-modern, no buffets. A completely different cruise experience.

Everything else — case by case

From pre-booked airport transfers to photographers abroad to excursion platforms — I have vetted partners for most situations. If you need something specific, just ask. If I have a trusted resource for it I'll point you there. If I don't I'll tell you that too.

I'd rather send you somewhere good than recommend something I don't actually stand behind.
