International Travel Design

for Discerning Travelers

the world awaits

When it comes to travel, you dream big.  Sitting on the beach is fine and all, but you want more: you want to explore, and learn, and experience the world in all its beautiful, authentic diversity.  Real travelers like you know that the act of travel is not an escape, nor is it a mere “vacation.”  You understand that travel is a choice and an investment – mainly, an investment in yourself.  Travel, when done well, enriches our lives; it deepens our connections to the world, to our loved ones, and to ourselves.  Travel transforms us, and in doing so, it transforms the world. 

 

Like all investments, travel choices perform better when they’re guided by an expert. 

 

I design luxury, experiential travel for discerning travelers like you.  My raison d’être is to help you travel more and better: to make your travel dreams a reality and to make all of your international journeys fun, fulfilling, and unforgettable.

I’m a different kind of travel advisor.  I don’t just help you book a trip (though I do that, too) – I talk to you about your travel goals, how you prefer to travel, what you want to get from your travel experiences, and how best to plan your travels over the next two to five years.  Then I design the perfect travel plan and itineraries to bring your travel dreams to fruition. 

 

My passion for travel will infuse your globetrotting ambitions.  I think outside the box to identify unique travel experiences that will satisfy your quest for adventure and discovery.  With my guidance and expertise, you’ll be able to travel more frequently – and you’ll be more fulfilled by the trips you take. 

 

Together, we will create powerful travel experiences that exceed anything you could have dreamed of – until now.

 

Let’s connect and get started.  The world awaits.

Am I the travel designer for you?

You have travel goals, bucket lists, and lifelong dreams to fulfill.  And you’re ready to make them happen.

You travel internationally at least once a year, and you may yearn to travel more frequently.

You want to get out of your comfort zone without sacrificing comfort.  You appreciate the luxuries, large and small, that make travel a true joy.

You want to travel responsibly, so that as you wander the world, you know that you’re also protecting the environment and benefiting local communities.

You understand the value and importance of travel in creating a well-rounded life, and you’re willing to invest your time and money in your travel dreams. 

Lake Geneva, Switzerland
What kind of travel experiences can I help you with?

 - High-end escorted group tours

- Private escorted tours

- Custom independent itineraries

- Luxury safaris

- Around-the-world journeys

- Small-ship ocean cruises and river cruises

 

My knowledge of the travel industry allows me to identify the right tour company or cruise line to meet your needs and desires.  I won’t book with just anyone; I’ll only offer you experiences that meet my discerning standards, so that in turn, they’ll meet yours.  And if you prefer to travel independently, you can rely on my gift for creating custom itineraries.  Some people think you can just slap a bunch of cities together and call it a trip, but proper itinerary planning is an art. 

 

When you’re ready to book, just leave it to me. From getting to the airport to finding a local guide, I think about the details so you don’t have to.  And throughout the process, you can tap into my knowledge and experience, so you’ll be completely at ease and ready to enjoy yourself long before your flight is wheels-up.
