“Better to see something once than hear about it a thousand times.”
Asian Proverb

That destination you've been dreaming about? It’s time to experience it for yourself. Travel is highly personal, and it starts with a conversation. Tell me what’s on your list.

Discover the Untamed Luxury of Singita Pamushana Lodge, Zimbabwe.

Working with a travel advisor opens doors to extraordinary adventures you might not even know existed. I’m talking private safaris, reservations at exclusive resorts, and lodges that redefine luxury, like the Singita Pamushana Lodge in Zimbabwe.

Intimate Wildlife Encounters: Get up close with Africa's majestic animals on private game drives, guided by expert conservationists.

Elegant Retreat: Indulge in opulent suites with private plunge pools, offering breathtaking views of the Malilangwe Wildlife Reserve.

Culinary Delights in the Wild: Savor exquisite, locally inspired cuisine in stunning settings, making each meal an unforgettable experience.

The best journeys aren’t rushed; they’re designed. That’s why I’m encouraging clients to start thinking about 2026 and beyond.

Antarctic cruises, African safaris, Japan’s cherry blossom season, overwater bungalows in Bora Bora. The most coveted experiences book early. Planning ahead means first pick of suites, private guides, and those VIP extras that make all the difference. Plus, it’s one less thing to think about later.

Let’s map out your next year of travel (and maybe the one after).

Wellness isn’t just a trend, it’s the foundation for living a life filled with happiness and peace. Today, it’s about experiences that meet you exactly where you are, offering what you truly need to feel fulfilled.

That could mean a week of mountain hikes and sound baths, rooftop spa days with skyline views, or science-backed retreats that serve miso soup after your IV infusion.

The best part? It’s not one-size-fits-all. Your reset might lean spa and slow mornings, or it might look like culinary therapy and ocean swims.

However you define wellness, I’ll help you build the version that is as personal as your travel style and nurtures your soul.

Every traveler (and every trip) is unique.

Maybe it’s your time for a solo adventure through South America. Or a wellness retreat with your favorite group in Bali. Or that Bora Bora honeymoon you’ve been dreaming about.

Here’s the thing: every trip has moving parts, but I make it feel easy. For groups, that means aligning flights, villas, and activities, even when travelers are coming from different countries. For honeymoons, I layer in VIP touches like room upgrades or private excursions. For solo travelers, I recommend properties and guides I trust completely.

What’s your next chapter? Let’s plan it together.

Not just Paris. Not even close…

When you scratch beneath the surface, you’ll uncover more of France’s layers.

Start in UNESCO-listed Bordeaux City, where elegant facades line the Garonne and Michelin stars sit beside vintage wine bars. Medieval towns like Saint-Émilion add a sense of timelessness and a very good excuse for a second glass.

Next, the dramatic sea cliffs of Normandy. Wander the cobbled lanes of Bayeux, stand quiet on the D-Day beaches, and time your visit to see Mont Saint-Michel rise from the mist. This is your chance to indulge in local specialties like cider, Camembert, and Calvados, served slowly.

End in Biarritz, where Belle Époque glamor meets Basque soul. Waves break below the iconic clifftop lighthouse, seafood platters come with rosé, and golden-hour strolls feel like cinema.

From vineyard mornings to salt-air evenings, let France unfold one location at a time.

Tea may be Sri Lanka’s claim to fame, but staying in the heart of its Hill Country is the real luxury.

At Ceylon Tea Trails, you'll stay in one of five colonial-era bungalows surrounded by emerald tea plantations. Each has its own personality, private butlers, and panoramic terraces perfect for sunrise tea (yes, it's grown right here).

Insider tip: I can arrange a scenic train ride between Hatton and Ella. It's one of the world's most beautiful rail journeys, with sweeping views of hills, waterfalls, and tea estates.

For a retreat that feels effortlessly luxurious, this is the place!

No algorithm can replicate what travel advisors bring to the table, because we don’t just plan travel, we live it.

Every itinerary I create is backed by years of real-world experience, on-the-ground connections, and an obsession with uncovering what makes each destination truly special.

I’ve stayed at the hotels. I’ve dined with the chefs. I’ve wandered down alleyways that led to my favorite finds. And I bring all of that to your trip, not just to book logistics, but to build something that feels seamless, thoughtful, and completely your own.

If you’re craving a trip that feels curated, not cookie-cutter, you’re in the right place. Let’s create a journey you didn’t even know you needed.

One of my favorite partners, time and again, is Aman. No matter the destination, they rise beautifully to meet even the most complex client needs with a level of care that feels effortless.

Every time I collaborate with them, I’m reminded why they stand apart. Their service is intuitive, their attention to detail almost telepathic, and their properties, each one exquisite in its own right, create spaces where my clients feel not just welcomed, but genuinely seen.

Aman doesn’t simply deliver luxury. They set the standard. They understand their clientele with rare precision and craft experiences that are flawless, yet never predictable. For me, it’s a joy to know that when my clients step into an Aman property, they’re stepping into a world where every detail has already been anticipated.

For design lovers like me, Aman Tokyo is the ultimate masterpiece. Every detail is deliberate: washi-paper walls, basalt stone soaking tubs, and a 100-foot lobby framed by soaring windows that look more like an art installation than a hotel. It’s sleek, serene, and intentionally quiet, an architectural contrast to the energy below.

Suites here start at over 750 square feet (rare for Tokyo) and come with deep furo tubs, floor-to-ceiling views, and tea sets for slow mornings in the clouds.

By day, you can explore the Imperial Gardens, take a private sushi workshop in Tsukiji, or book a tea ceremony with a local master. At night, reserve the six-seat omakase counter or sip rare Japanese whiskies in the sleek lounge overlooking Otemachi.

If you're going to do Tokyo once, this is the way to do it. Aman.

What’s it like to have an entire island (almost) to yourself?

At Ambergris Cay, you'll find out. Private beachfront villas, your own golf cart for exploring, and staff who treat you like family, but with Michelin-level service.

Days here are unscripted: head out with a marine biologist for a private snorkeling trip on untouched reefs, enjoy a chef-prepared picnic on Little Ambergris Cay (only accessible by boat), or spend the afternoon paddleboarding.

Your private island escape? Closer than you think. Message me to start planning your Caribbean getaway!

When the destination wins awards, you know the experience has to live up to it!

On the island just named #1 by Travel + Leisure, Parīlio is a design-forward oasis that makes the most of Paros’s natural beauty. Whitewashed suites. Sculptural archways. A pool you’ll want to move into.

This isn’t Mykonos. It’s quieter, cooler, and still somewhat secret (at least for now.)

Let's plan your Greek island escape before the secret’s out.

09/03/2025

Here’s the wellness reset you didn’t know you needed. At Layan Life by Anantara in Phuket, every detail is tailored to you: your schedule, your style, your version of luxury.

Layan Life’s spa menu includes everything from traditional Thai Tok Sen (a rhythmic tapping therapy using wooden hammers) to silk-wrapped herbal compresses and crystal sound baths that leave you completely blissed out.

Stay in style at the nearby Layan Residences by Anantara, just steps from the spa experience.

Wellness never looked this good. Get in touch to learn more!
