Luxury Specialist

With nearly three decades of experience in the travel industry, I specialize in designing elevated, thoughtfully curated journeys for travelers who value expertise, ease, and a high-touch planning experience. I graduated from the Ambassador Institute of Travel in 1996 and have spent my career helping clients experience the world with confidence, comfort, and a sense of occasion.Today, my focus is luxury travel with a special emphasis on London, the United Kingdom and Ireland, European river cruises, refined ocean cruising, and beautifully planned pre- and post-cruise stays. I love creating itineraries that feel polished, personal, and seamless — from the right hotel in the right neighborhood to private tours, cultural experiences, scenic routing, and the little details that make a trip feel effortless.My clients come to me because they want more than a transaction. They want a trusted advisor who understands the difference between simply booking a trip and designing an experience. Whether it’s a first visit to London, a romantic escape through the Cotswolds, a castle stay in Ireland, a river cruise through Europe, a Greek Isles sailing, or a carefully paced itinerary with time to enjoy the destination, I bring both industry knowledge and personal care to the planning process.I am especially drawn to destinations with history, character, beautiful architecture, memorable hotels, and a strong sense of place. Some of my favorite destinations to recommend and experience include:London and the United Kingdom — for timeless history, elegant hotels, charming neighborhoods, countryside escapes, royal landmarks, literary connections, and endlessly rewarding cultural experiences.Ireland — for its warm hospitality, dramatic landscapes, castles, lively pubs, traditional music, scenic drives, and rich storytelling.European River Cruises — for travelers who want a relaxed yet immersive way to experience multiple destinations, with beautiful scenery, cultural touring, and the ease of unpacking once.Greece and the Mediterranean — for sun-drenched islands, ancient ruins, coastal beauty, exceptional cuisine, and unforgettable sea views.Costa Rica — for lush landscapes, eco-luxury, adventure, wildlife, and the pura vida spirit.I also have a strong appreciation for luxury and wellness-minded travel, but my approach has evolved beyond a single category. For me, the most meaningful journeys are the ones that are well-matched to the traveler — whether that means a grand hotel in the heart of London, a peaceful spa resort, a European river cruise with thoughtfully chosen extensions, or a custom itinerary filled with history, beauty, and memorable experiences.My planning style is calm, polished, and detail-oriented. I believe in clear communication, realistic pacing, elevated recommendations, and service that anticipates the needs of my clients. I work best with travelers who value professional guidance, thoughtful curation, and a more personal approach to travel planning.Whether you are celebrating a milestone, planning a romantic escape, exploring your family heritage, taking your first trip abroad, or simply ready for a beautifully planned journey, I would be honored to help design an experience that feels effortless, meaningful, and entirely your own.
