My passion for wildlife, culture, local communities and conservation have been the cornerstone of my 24 years in the travel industry. With no less than 27 trips to the continent, when planning a luxury safari experience, I am who you want in your corner! I often refer to Africa as my second home as I have traveled to the continent more than anywhere else on the planet. A few highlights of my travels include meeting the iconic Masai and Samburu people of Kenya; seeing the great migration and Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania; visiting the Orthodox churches and the famous fossils of Lucy in the National Museum of Ethiopia and spending time with the mountain gorillas of Rwanda and Uganda. My experience in Southern Africa includes countless trips to such iconic destinations as South Africa, Botswana, Mozambique and Namibia. My passion for travel ignited over 25 years ago when I participated as an exchange student in a study abroad program to Northern Italy and the fire has not been quelled since. With a loyal following of longtime clients and partner travel advisors who have trusted me with every detail of their safari and travel planning, I offer each client a VIP experience. I particularly love planning honeymoons and family travel, especially multi-generational family travel, having many first-hand experiences traveling with my young daughter on half a dozen trips and safaris to both Africa and India.

Everyday is Earth Day!
A journey to the GalƔpagos last year stands out as one of the most extraordinary wildlife and travel experiences of my career, which began in 1999. Moments like these are a powerful reminder of why conservation-focused travel matters.

The Feb 2026 reintroduction of giant tortoises to Floreana Island—nearly 180 years after the last wild populations disappeared—is truly remarkable. It’s a testament to what long-term conservation efforts can achieve, and a hopeful step forward in restoring one of the world’s most iconic ecosystems.

If Galapagos is on your bucket list, let's chat about making that dream a reality. Lindblad / National Geographic and Ecoventura are two of my favorite partners for Galapagos cruises!

Nearly 150 years after the last giant tortoises were removed from Floreana Island in Ecuador’s GalĆ”pagos archipelago, the species made a comeback Friday, when dozens of juvenile hybrids were released to begin restoring the island’s depleted ecosystem.

Sheldrick Wildlife Trust is one of my favorite Africa wildlife organizations to support. You can adopt an orphan for as little as $50 a year, which is such a cool and educational gift for the kiddos in your life! https://www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans Sheldrick Trust and the late, Dame Daphne Sheldrick, were truly pioneers in their tireless work rescuing and re-releasing orphaned animals in Kenya. I arrange for my clients visiting Kenya to visit the Nairobi nursery during either the daily noon public or private visits. I also arrange stays at their Sheldrick Trust camps for a behind-the-scenes experience seeing their reintegration units in Tsavo National Park at work.

The friendliest countries in the world from all four corners of the globe...Kenya takes the No. 1 spot in the 2025 Readers' Choice Awards By CondƩ Nast Traveller. Travelers go for the wildlife but end up falling in love with the Kenyan people. Kenya IS the classic Out of Africa safari destination and one of my favorite destinations to plan safaris to. Truly a privilege to help plan travel to such incredible destinations including a few others on this list, ie Bhutan, Seychelles, Mauritius.

If Kenya or any of these friendliest countries is on your radar for future travel, I would love to chat and help make your travel dreams a reality.
