Some trips stay with you forever—not just for the views, but for the flavors and the stories behind them.

The most meaningful (and sustainable) food experiences? They’re the local ones—rooted in tradition, crafted with care, and shared with heart.

Think: hand-rolling pasta with a Michelin-starred chef who sources from his own Tuscan garden. Wandering Bangkok’s sunrise markets with a local guide who grew up shopping there. Scoring seats at Paris’s hardest-to-book chef’s tables that champion seasonal, regional ingredients.

These are the moments that support local communities, preserve culinary heritage, and stay with you long after dessert.

Where’s your palate taking you next? Let’s make it unforgettable and impactful.

Planning a trip to Amsterdam? This is the hotel I can’t stop recommending.

Pulitzer Amsterdam isn’t just a design lover’s dream—it’s a sustainably minded stay tucked inside 25 restored Golden Age canal houses. Think original beams, curated Dutch art, secret gardens, and no two rooms alike.

Beyond its beauty, Pulitzer takes sustainability seriously: it’s Green Key Gold certified, uses 100% renewable electricity, minimizes food waste through smart kitchen practices, and supports local suppliers and artisans.

I’ll make sure you experience it fully: coffee in the courtyard garden, a private canal cruise from the hotel’s dock, and evenings at the Pulitzer Bar (locals say it’s one of the best cocktail spots in town). And yes—your canal-view suite? Consider it reserved.

One of my favorite things? Helping clients map the year through intentional, sustainable travel.

Late summer? The Greek Isles are still sun-drenched but blissfully uncrowded—fewer crowds mean a lighter footprint and a more authentic connection to local life.

Autumn? Think golden hikes in the Swiss Alps or Chicago’s vibrant food scene and boutique stays—both perfect in the shoulder season, when demand is lower and experiences are richer.

December? You could cozy up in a glass igloo in snowy Lapland, or escape to Seychelles, where eco-luxury blends seamlessly with sunshine.

My approach? Aligning your calendar with conscious travel choices that benefit the places you visit—layered with private guides, sustainable luxury stays, and all the VIP touches you deserve.

Where to next? Let’s plan a year of travel that’s unforgettable and meaningful.

What’s it like to have an entire island (almost) to yourself—and know your stay is supporting sustainability too?

Welcome to Ambergris Cay in Turks & Caicos, a private island escape where luxury meets low-impact living. Think solar-powered villas, pristine nature preserves, and reef-friendly practices that help protect the surrounding marine life.

You’ll have your own beachfront villa, a golf cart for exploring, and a team that feels like family (with Michelin-level service to match).

Your days? Unscripted and unforgettable. Head out with a marine biologist to snorkel untouched reefs, enjoy a chef-prepared picnic on the uninhabited Little Ambergris Cay, or paddleboard in crystal-clear waters knowing you’re leaving only gentle ripples behind.

Your private island escape—with purpose—is closer than you think. Message me to start planning your Caribbean getaway.

The best journeys aren’t rushed—they’re intentionally designed with purpose, impact, and authenticity in mind. That’s why I’m encouraging clients to start thinking about 2026 and beyond.

Whether it’s a low-impact Antarctic expedition, a conservation-based African safari, cherry blossom season in Japan with local cultural guides, or overwater bungalows in Bora Bora built with sustainability in mind—the most meaningful and luxurious experiences are the ones that book early.

Planning ahead ensures first choice of eco-conscious properties, vetted private guides, and those thoughtful, VIP touches that elevate your travels and give back to the places you visit.

Let’s start mapping out your next year of travel (and maybe the one after)—with purpose, connection, and sustainability at the heart of it all.

Flight changes. Weather disruptions. A hotel “overbooked” your suite. These are the things no one wants to deal with on vacation, but with a trusted travel advisor, you don’t have to.

I’m your advocate before, during, and after your trip: handling the details, solving surprises, and offering travel perks only available through industry connections.

Some places have views. Bürgenstock Resort Lake Lucerne in Switzerland has a legacy.

Audrey Hepburn chose it for her honeymoon. Sophia Loren loved it so much she moved in. And today, its cliffside location above Lake Lucerne still delivers the kind of glamour few resorts can match.

The Alpine Spa alone is worth the trip alone. Add a ride on the Hammetschwand Lift (Europe’s tallest outdoor elevator) and private lake transfers via funicular, and you’ll understand why this place is iconic.

Ready to book your trip? I’ll make sure your stay comes with VIP perks worthy of the legends.

Some places have views. Bürgenstock Resort Lake Lucerne has a legacy.

Audrey Hepburn honeymooned here. Sophia Loren loved it so much she moved in. Perched high above Lake Lucerne, this cliffside icon still radiates the kind of timeless glamour few resorts can match.

The Alpine Spa alone is worth the trip—but pair it with a ride on the Hammetschwand Lift (Europe’s tallest outdoor elevator) and private lake transfers via funicular, and you’ll quickly see why this place has become legendary.

What makes it even more special? Bürgenstock is a pioneer in sustainable luxury—operating with hydroelectric and lake water systems for heating and cooling, and working toward carbon neutrality across the resort. Proof that luxury and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand.

This resort has me planning my own trip!

Birkenhead House in Hermanus, South Africa, is one of those rare finds: elegant, intimate, and consistently on "best of" lists worldwide. Eleven suites. Cliffside views. Interiors by Liz Biden. And staff who seem to know your preferences before you do.
And then there are the whales. Between June and November, Hermanus is one of the world's best spots for watching southern right whales. What makes this even more meaningful? Birkenhead House is a member of the Dyer Island Conservation Trust, supporting critical marine research and conservation programs right in their backyard.
This partnership helps protect the fragile marine ecosystem at Africa's southern tip, including endangered African penguins and the very whales you'll be watching from your suite.

I'll make sure your stay includes private wine tastings in Hemel-en-Aarde, a suite with perfect whale-watching views, and those coveted dining reservations that turn a great trip into an unforgettable one. Best of all? Your stay directly supports marine conservation efforts.

I’ve learned a few things over the years, and my clients love these insider tips:

✔️ Keep a photo of your passport on your phone and store the original safely after boarding; you don’t want to leave it on the plane.
✔️ Download WhatsApp for easy local communication without text fees.
✔️ ATMs abroad often have better exchange rates than at home, but avoid busy areas and always stay aware.
✔️ Pack a universal adapter and a portable charger—perfect for long days exploring (or capturing photos non-stop).
✔ How to avoid jet lag? Stay hydrated, adjust your sleep schedule early, and pack silicone earplugs or a sleep mask for maximum rest.

It’s the little details like these that turn a good trip into an unforgettable one. Ready for more? Let’s plan.

This one is flying under the radar (for now).
La Casa de la Playa in Mexico feels more like staying in a friend's private villa than a resort.

What most travelers don't realize? This isn't your typical Riviera Maya stay. With just 63 suites, La Casa de la Playa is perfect for those who've done the big-name resorts and are ready for something more refined, more personal.

Start the day with coffee on your oceanfront terrace, then take a dip in the glass-bottom pool that hovers above the beach (trust me, it's as cool as it looks). Try your hand at chocolate-making in the on-site atelier, let your butler set up a picnic on a stretch of sand with no one else in sight, and end the night with a mezcal tasting and jungle spa treatment that feels like pure magic.

The intimate scale means a lighter footprint on this pristine stretch of Riviera Maya coastline, and as part of Grupo Xcaret, the resort is committed to providing experiences that honor culture, the environment and life itself.
