When the request is wild luxury, serene exclusivity, and adventure, I turn to British Columbia’s Sonora Resort.

Set in one of North America’s most pristine natural playgrounds, the rugged Discovery Island archipelago, this is a private island experience like no other. The Great Bear Rainforest surrounds you, with bald eagles soaring overhead and ocean waves lapping against Canada’s exquisite West Coast.

I can arrange private air transfers that are every bit as scenic as the destination. When you arrive, you are welcomed with exceptional, personalized hospitality. And when you’re ready to explore, check out the guided wildlife photography excursions and try your hand at traditional indigenous fishing techniques with expert hosts. I’ll connect you with expert hosts and guides who can unlock extraordinary experiences that are not accessible to most travelers.

Let’s start planning an itinerary entirely tailored to you

You haven’t truly experienced skiing until you’ve been to Courchevel.

My clients love it because Alpine adrenaline meets après-ski indulgence. They spend their days exploring Les Trois Vallées and their evenings sipping Champagne fireside, dining at Michelin-starred restaurants, or gracing the area’s high-glamour nightlife.

Insider tip: Don’t overlook the lesser-known neighbouring villages for a more authentic experience that is still close to the action.

Every family has a different travel style. Some want villas big enough for three generations, others want activities that keep kids smiling while adults sneak in spa time. The trick is balancing it all so the trip feels seamless, not stressful.

Ready to start the family group chat? I'll make sure everyone’s on board, literally.

If Alpine coziness had a five-star address, this would be it.

When you check into Aman Rosa Alpina, your hardest decision might be whether to hit the slopes or stay fireside with a glass of Ferrari Champagne. (I wouldn’t blame you for the latter.)

Set in the postcard‑perfect village of San Cassiano, this historic retreat pairs mountain charm with Aman’s signature understated luxury. When the skis come off, melt into the Finnish sauna or soak in the 20‑meter outdoor infinity pool as snowflakes drift around you.

Evenings are for slow dinners, local wines, and that “I‑could‑stay‑forever” feeling. Suites come with fireplaces, plush lounges, and minibars stocked with pre‑mixed cocktails. It’s the perfect base for ski, soak, sip, repeat.

Curious? Let’s talk it through

No two safaris are alike. Each country has its own rhythm, its own unforgettable encounters.

Kenya: game drives in the Maasai Mara
South Africa: private reserves in Kruger
Botswana: mokoro rides through the Okavango Delta
Rwanda: trekking with mountain gorillas

Ready to go wild? I'll help you choose the one that's right for your next adventure.

Your perfect honeymoon can happen any time of year! Here are some of my favorite combinations:

Spring: Go on safari in South Africa when wildlife is active, and the rains have not yet arrived. Then relax on the powdery beaches of the Seychelles.

Summer: Explore the Cyclades as they come alive with festivals for a quintessential Mediterranean honeymoon.

Fall: Stroll through Kyoto’s ancient temples and gardens as the leaves turn brilliant shades of red and gold.

Winter: Soak up winter sun in Mauritius with overwater bungalows, snorkeling, and calm turquoise waters.

Timing is everything, and I will help you get it just right. Save this post for when you are ready to plan your honeymoon!

Why settle for just one dream destination when you could experience two?

Some of my favorite itineraries come from unexpected pairings, like Sri Lanka and the Maldives, Venice and Northern Croatia, or New Zealand and Fiji or French Polynesia.

These combinations create contrast, surprise, and a more profound sense of adventure. When it makes sense to add a second stop, for culture, nature, or complete relaxation, I will suggest it. That is the power of working with a travel advisor: turning a trip into something you never imagined.

Culture. Wellness. Adventure. Romance.

The best part? You don’t have to choose! I’ll help you plan the trip that feels most like you. Which inspires you most right now?

Prague is one of those cities that completely wins you over (fast). Morning walks through Old Town feel cinematic, and I always tell clients to detour down the side streets near Pařížská for the best boutiques and cafés before the crowds arrive.

If you’re wondering where I send clients, Andaz Prague is always at the top of the list. Housed in the historic Sugar Palace, it’s filled with art and design details inspired by Czech legends.

Insider tip: Choose one of the hotel’s gourmet picnic baskets to tuck into along the riverbank or in a hidden park. It’s a thoughtful detail that will make a day outdoors even more memorable.

The City of a Hundred Spires is just one message away. Reach out today!

When the world feels too crowded, it’s time to go somewhere that reminds you just how vast and wild it really is.

Eleven Experience Lodges hand-pick their locations for their pristine natural surroundings, a collection of just 13 private lodges across 8 countries. Their properties sit in some of the world’s most remarkable settings, from Iceland’s Troll Peninsula to the remote valleys of Chilean Patagonia, each designed for travelers who crave authenticity, adventure, and absolute privacy.

Through partnerships with expert hosts and local guides, I can open doors to experiences most travelers never find on their own, like heli-skiing untouched slopes, fly fishing pristine rivers, or sharing stories over dinner prepared by your private chef in a faraway lodge. Every itinerary is tailored around you, your pace, and your definition of adventure.

Ready to explore the world’s quietest corners the Eleven way? I’ll help you get there

Forget skipping the line...this is stepping behind it.

Venture into the ateliers, archives, and artistry of Florence with Massimo Russo, a Florentine designer whose eye for elegance was shaped by years in international fashion.

Curated for my clients and available only through me as an affiliate of Departure Lounge, this experience can be enjoyed on its own or as part of my Tuscan Couture Exclusive Journey, a deeper immersion into the art of Italian elegance.

Comment Ciao if you’d like me to reach out directly, or visit the link in my bio to connect. Pronto!
