Every journey I design starts with a story — yours, or the one that first pulled you toward a place. I specialize in immersive, high-touch travel through premium partners including Tauck, AmaWaterways, and CIE Tours, with particular depth in Ireland and Portugal.

This isn’t checklist travel. It’s the kind of trip you’re still talking about a year later.

Complimentary Travel Consultation

A 30-minute call to talk through where you want to go, what kind of experience you’re after, and whether we’re the right fit to build it together.

Travel Itinerary Review

Already have a plan in motion? Send it my way, and I’ll give it a thorough, honest look — sharpening the details that turn a good trip into an unforgettable one.

Travel Planning Strategy Session

For travelers ready to build a trip from the ground up. We’ll map the shape of your journey together — destinations, pacing, the experiences that matter most to you.

Cruise & Tour Trip Planning

For travelers booking a cruise or guided tour through partners like Explora Journeys, AmaWaterways, Tauck, or CIE Tours. I match you to the right cruise and/or tour (sometimes there’s an opportunity to combine them) and build out your pre- or post-stay. 

Custom Trip Planning

My most comprehensive offering. I design a fully personalized itinerary matched to how you want to travel — private guides, standout stays, and the kind of details that don’t show up on a packing list. 

Bespoke Group Trip Planning

For groups of 8+ wanting a fully custom itinerary built from scratch — milestone celebrations, multi-generational travel, friend getaways where nothing is off-the-shelf. Final investment scales with group size and complexity.
