Custom travel planning

Skip the planning. Enjoy the trip.

From where to stay to what to experience, your trip is built around what matters to you. I handle the research and details from beginning to end — without costing you more than booking it yourself.

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

The difference is in the planning.

I plan beyond the reservations. I look at realistic drive times, where to park, which bus or train to take, where to eat, and the best time to arrive. I read the reviews, check the logistics, and make sure the trip works as well on the ground as it does on paper.

The rates are the same. The trip isn’t.

Booking through me doesn’t cost more than booking it yourself. As a Virtuoso advisor I can often add breakfast, a room upgrade when one’s available, a property credit, and onboard credit on select cruises.

What you also get is someone who knows the whole trip — which night is booked where, and what to do when a flight cancels and the transfer is already paid for. And I don’t charge planning fees.

Start planning

From an idea to a plan.

01

Tell me the shape of it

Where, roughly when, how many of you, and what you’d hate. Pace matters more than destination — some people want four countries, some want one valley.

02

I build the route

Researched properly: real drive times, what’s closed in your month, which bookings have to be made first, and where the plan has slack if something goes wrong.

03

We adjust, then I book it

You read it, we cut what doesn’t appeal, and I handle every reservation — flights, cars, hotels, guides. You travel with one document and one phone number.

About

My love of travel began as a child.

My family moved to Brazil when I was young, and we lived there twice. Since then, I’ve explored 250+ destinations across 54 countries and territories, with especially deep knowledge of Europe, Mexico, the Caribbean, Hawaii, and French Polynesia.

Those experiences shaped the way I see travel. I believe the best trips are about more than simply seeing a destination. They’re about experiencing it — its history, culture, people, food, and the moments that make a place unforgettable.

You enjoy the journey. I’ll take care of the rest.
