Let me spare you the stress. I’ve planned enough family vacations to know the secret to getting them right...is balance.

The most rewarding itineraries blend cultural moments that spark curiosity and connection with experiences that are simply fun. And don’t underestimate the value of downtime and spontaneity; those unplanned moments often become the memories you remember most.

When a journey feels nourishing, energizing, and genuinely memorable, you know it has been done right.

I would love to help curate your family vacation this year. Reach out when you are ready to begin.

What does it feel like to have an entire cruise tailored to you?

It tastes like complimentary caviar, premium spirits, and fine wines. It looks like sparkling ocean views from your private veranda. It smells like world-class dining and sounds like conversation with visionary experts. It feels like an ultra-luxury yacht experience, without being on a yacht.

Whether you’re going to the Amazon, the Mediterranean coast, or the Arctic, Seabourn is my go-to for refined, personal journeys by sea. All-suite accommodations, curated shore experiences, and access to ports larger ships can’t reach make it anything but an average cruise.

I collaborate closely with their team to shape the voyage around you. Reach out, and I’ll map out your next adventure at sea.

New Year, new travel mindset.

As we begin a new year, consider a fresh approach to travel, especially if you’re looking for experiences that feel more unique, fulfilling, and lasting. Here are a few travel resolutions worth carrying into 2026:

Make the most of long-haul trips.
If you’re flying to South Africa, why not add a few days in the Seychelles? Heading to Spain? Morocco is just across the Strait of Gibraltar. I can help you combine destinations in smart, time-saving ways.

Take your time.
Some of the most meaningful moments happen in the in-between, like learning a local barista’s name, eating a meal at a family-run spot off the radar, or wandering a quiet street. Give yourself the time and space to connect.

Tailor your trip to what you actually love.
Forget what’s trending. Focus on what excites you personally, whether that’s visiting the restaurant featured in your favorite film or exploring a local museum in a lesser-known neighborhood.

A few practical reminders for smooth travel in 2026:
• Check your passport expiration date. Many countries require 6+ months’ validity.
• Weigh and measure your carry-ons; enforcement is tightening.
• Review entry requirements and fees; rules change year to year.

I’m here to help you plan travel that is intentional, rewarding, and just right for you.

If “Paris hotel” makes you think tiny rooms and minimal amenities, Le Bristol will rewrite the script.

This century-old icon delivers the grandeur travelers dream of with none of the usual compromises. This hotel has surprisingly spacious rooms, huge beds, and impeccable service that strikes the perfect note between polished and warm.

Don’t miss my favorite amenity: the rooftop pool with skyline views of Montmartre and the Eiffel Tower. It’s one of those quiet luxuries you’ll carry home like a secret.

Let me know when you’re ready to see the City of Light with more room to fall in love.

After a day immersed in Marrakech’s spice markets, color, and energy, you’ll want somewhere calm to retreat.

A stay at The Oberoi feels like an exhale. Surrounded by olive groves and citrus orchards, this estate rivals Morocco’s ancient palaces. Guest rooms are intentionally set far apart, giving each stay a rare feeling of space and privacy, while views stretch toward the Atlas Mountains.

Insider tip: Make time for at least one experience that isn’t on foot. I can arrange a hot air balloon ride over the Atlas Mountains, a helicopter tour over the Sahara, or a vintage sidecar drive through the Medina.

There are a few key ingredients for the perfect family vacation: comfort, meaningful experiences, and time to relax. Every generation has different needs, and that is where a travel advisor makes all the difference.

I begin by considering seasons, weather, safety, and convenience. Then I shape the pace and activities around your family’s unique mix of personalities and interests. The goal? A trip that feels seamless, personal, and totally stress-free so that you can make the most out of your time together.

When you are ready to plan next year’s family vacation, send me a message.

Stay in the former guesthouse of King Norodom Sihanouk, and you’ll never forget the serene, timeless atmosphere that envelopes you.

Amansara is a sophisticated retreat I recommend for travelers seeking both cultural immersion and restorative calm. Explore Angkor Wat temples with a guide who reveals hidden stories few visitors know, relax in your private plunge pool, or wander the lush garden courtyards in peace. Evenings can include intimate dinners featuring local flavors or a private Apsara dance performance. Aman never disappoints, but this property stands out.

I will design a trip that combines restorative rest with nourishing cultural activities. Get in touch to start planning.

For clients who have always dreamed of seeing the Northern Lights, save this post!

I know the sweet spot for seeing the aurora at its most spectacular: the shoulder months of late February to mid-March and late September through October. You will appreciate dark skies, crisp, clear air, and fewer tourists.

I also know the locations where you can view the lights most intimately, surrounded by wilderness with experts leading the way. This is privileged access to one of nature’s most dazzling displays.

Let’s make sure you see the Northern Lights with all the right touches.

If you are visiting the Great Barrier Reef, you might as well stay right in the heart of it. This spectacular natural wonder literally surrounds the InterContinental Hayman Island Resort.

How do you get there? By seaplane, helicopter, or luxury yacht. And once you step ashore, it's white-sand beaches and turquoise water in every direction, for a completely immersive experience that feels like a dream.

Here is a suggestion: enjoy a picture-perfect picnic, with bubbles of course, on Langford Island. It is the kind of moment that stays with you. I will handle every detail.

If Victoria Falls is on your bucket list, Matetsi Victoria Falls is the place to stay.

It is one of those rare properties that combines immediate access to wildlife with absolute luxury. This five-star safari retreat rests within a private 136,000-acre game reserve in Zimbabwe, where you can head out on twice-daily game drives and private walking safaris. What really sets it apart? The expert guides who turn each moment from amazing to phenomenal.

For an even more elevated experience, I can arrange a private helicopter flight over Earth’s largest waterfall. Talk about once in a lifetime!
