about
Your personal guide to experience the world.
Optimize your vacation time. Travel with me.
My itineraries are designed, organized and created with expertise, trust, passion and love. We travel independently with freedom and support from local outfitters who help make the most of our time away. Free up your time. Enjoy airport transfers, vetted local accommodations, local guides, transportation such as bus, train, private car and more - all reserved in advance. I will greet you at our destination, making you feel at home and at ease in a faraway place. The magic begins as our senses come alive in a new and exotic place. We travel together, going with the flexible flow, immersed in long days, memorable moments, sights, soundscapes and deep conversations, all while savoring the experience and fully absorbing wherever we happen to be. Lots of walking keeps us active and engaged in local culture and traditions. We explore. Be sure to keep a journal!
