I have been traveling since I was about 2 years old with my (entire) family. As much as I love them, at the age of 14 I just could not listen to the “discussions” about who will be going on the next excursion, or what that will be so I started traveling alone. It DID prepare me for helping multigeneration families to book amazing adventures together WITHOUT the drama! To date I have traveled to approximately 70+ countries and still counting. So I started writing about my experiences and turning them into KNOW BEFORE YOU GO guides.
About 20-ish years ago I started creating itineraries for family and friends and then for clients, to help them with the overwhelm and inspire them to not only travel, but to immerse themselves in their journeys; turning each one into an unforgettable experience and adventure.
Now I am a travel advisor helping people like you plan trips in the USA and all over the world, discovering what is new and exciting. I work with travelers who expect clarity, thoughtful planning, and honest guidance. Couples, families, solo travelers, and groups (including destination wedding planners and honeymooners) rely on me to turn dreams into destinations and trips that are intentional and seamless, flows smoothly and are deeply personal.
If you value experiences over checklists, comfort over chaos, and insight over guesswork then you and I are a good match to plan your next trip together. You want to know where a destination shines, where it disappoints, and how to experience it well. This blog will inspire you to do exactly that.
You will not find generic lists or surface-level inspiration here. You will find destination insights grounded in logistics, timing, accommodations, and experience quality. Travel planning has changed. Information is everywhere, real guidance is not. If you are deciding where to go next, this blog gives you context and I will help you plan every last details. If you are ready to plan, contact me here.
I seek places that offer beauty without excess crowds, luxury without stiffness, and culture without rushing. I value wine regions, wellness escapes, nature-forward retreats, small ships, safaris, and destinations that reward curiosity.
Life really is about the adventures we take and the memories we create. Whether you are a couple starting life together, exploring a dreamy romantic destination for your wedding or honeymoon, solo travelers who love to explore by themselves, or however you like to travel, I would love partnering with you to help plan those unforgettable adventures.
