Luxury Travel Advisor. Curating one-of-a-kind itineraries around the world.

09/02/2026

I’ve been deep in the details finalizing our september departures - nearly 20 clients heading out over the next few weeks traveling everywhere from indonesia and thailand to the south of france, sardinia, sicily, the greek islands, panama, mexico, and many places in between.

& the one thing they all have in common? they’re celebrating.

the end of summer. an anniversary. a honeymoon. a new baby on the way. another year around the sun. life after a difficult diagnosis. or simply finally taking the trip they’ve been talking about for years.

it’s truly not lost on me that I get to play a small part in these special memories. the planning may happen months (or sometimes years) before the bags are packed, but getting to see these trips come to life never gets old.

I hope this snapshot gives you some inspiration for your own travels. if you’re ready to start planning, my inquiry form is linked in my bio 🤍

my clients came to me with impeccable taste in hotels and a desire to experience the south of france through its most beautiful addresses.

slow mornings in provence, afternoons sipping rosé at beach clubs along the riviera, and festive dinners in between.

this is the itinerary we designed together…

/ provence its own little village perched above the luberon. the kind of design that makes you want to redo your entire home.

/ st tropez a chic hideaway in the heart of one of the most iconic towns on the riviera with exclusive access to sister property Château de la Messardière ( 👋🏼 )

/ théoule-sur-mer a cliffside property on the côte d’azur with the mediterranean right outside the door.

/ èze built into a medieval village 1,400 feet above the sea. the views from here are hard to overstate.

if a france trip is on your radar, i’d love to help plan it 🕊️

one of the most common questions i get: do you book domestic travel?

the answer is absolutely - booking domestically through me means the same perks, the same access, and the same level of care as any international trip.

whether it’s a long weekend on the new england coast or a week out west with no cell service and a horse - here are a few properties i’m sending my clients this summer…

/ big sky, montana
/ saratoga, wy
/ utah
/ cape cod, massachusetts
/ cape neddick, maine

if you’re still figuring out summer plans, my inbox is open 🤎

family-friendly hotels often have a reputation for waterparks, bland design, and over-programmed schedules. these five properties defy all of that - where kids are genuinely catered to, the design is thoughtful, and the parents never once feel like they’ve made a sacrifice.

/ one of the original grand dames of the costa del sol - and still one of the best. padel courts, a beach club, and enough space for everyone to disappear into their own version of the perfect day.

/ a former jesuit college turned auberge resort on the hills above florence. the kind of property where kids think they’re on an adventure and adults think they’ve found their new favorite place in italy. (they’re both right.)

/ you stay in a 13th-century castle. you kayak on the lake. the kids learn falconry. there is genuinely nothing not to love about this one.

/ tucked into the hills above the french riviera with an infinity pool that goes on forever and a golf course for those who need one. the kind of resort that keeps everyone occupied without feeling like a resort.

/ 1,400 acres of private tuscan estate, a working winery, and a borgo that feels like your own personal village. the adults get the wine and the views. the kids get the run of the place. everyone wins.

if you’re starting to think about where to go next with little ones in tow, I’d love to help you find the perfect fit 💌

a question that recently came up when chatting with a client on their dream south africa trip: do we add on a beach or a wine region?

and honestly, it depends. africa has beautiful beaches - but so does the caribbean, and much closer to home options.

what shifted it for them is this: if you’re already going all the way to south africa, the cape town + winelands combination is hard to replicate anywhere else.

you’re experiencing something that feels entirely specific to the destination - world-class wine (at a fraction of the cost of Sonoma or Bordeaux), design-forward stays, incredible food, and mountain backdrops.

for this particular couple, we landed on babylonstoren.

a working farm tucked into the mountains outside cape town - the kind of place where you wake up, walk through the gardens before breakfast, spend the afternoon in the cellar (with a detour to say hi to the resident donkeys, of course). the food alone is worth the trip.

thinking about a safari and not sure which direction to go? my inbox is always open 🌿

year of the horse // 🐎

for the ones whose idea of a perfect trip involves a horse somewhere in the itinerary (*raises hand*) - this one’s for you.

five properties where horses aren’t just an activity on the list. they’re part of the whole feeling of the place.

nihi sumba / sumba island, indonesia galloping along the shoreline at the edge of the indian ocean.

rescchio / umbria, italy riding through the tuscan hills at golden hour with the estate spread out below you.

son vell / menorca, spain a 300-year-old finca where the horses roam the same land as the property.

finca la donaira / andalusia, spain wild horses grazing against hazy mountain ridges.

the lodge at blue sky / utah, usa cowboy hats, aspen trees, and a string of horses waiting outside the tavern.

herdade da malhadinha nova / alentejo, portugal riding through vineyards at sunrise, then soaking in a freestanding tub while the sky turns orange.

if any of these are on your list - or if you want help building a trip around one of them - i’d love to help plan it. 🌿

for those who have never worked with a modern day travel advisor before, this post is for you.

I design personalized travel experiences that bring you closer to nature, wildlife, and the kind of moments that stay with you long after you’ve unpacked your bags. with a background in animal science and years spent working in the veterinary world, I’ve always had a deep respect for the natural world, and that perspective guides every trip I plan.

when you work with me, I take care of every detail from start to finish. that includes private guides, transportation, dining, permits, and special experiences that fit your travel style. I also partner with trusted partners and properties to make sure my clients receive the highest level of care and service throughout their stay.

whether you already have a destination in mind or need help deciding where to go next, I’ll make the process seamless and enjoyable from the first conversation to the moment you return home.

if you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to have a travel advisor on your side, I’m always happy to chat 🫶🏼

how to: self-book your hotel with vip perks ✨

if the galápagos Islands are on your list, this is one to know…

high in the wild highlands of Santa Cruz Island, far from the typical cruise routes, this is one of the few places where you get both: serious wildlife access and a hotel that feels genuinely design-forward.

days are spent exploring nearby islands by yacht — snorkeling with sea lions, walking lava fields with naturalist guides — then returning here for sunset when the highlands turn that soft golden color.

a very different way to experience the galápagos. slower, more private, and deeply connected to the landscape.
