Want your TA to work magic? Start here.

Begin with your why. Do you want to feel restored, exhilarated, connected, or transformed? Naming the feeling gives me the framework for everything that follows.

Then, layer in your preferences. Do you lean toward intimate boutique hotels or iconic grande-dames? Do you prefer private guides or time to explore independently? Share the highs and lows from past journeys so I can carefully shape the next one.

Finally, give me the essentials: the destinations that call to you, the dates that work, and the budget that makes sense.

This framework helps me design a journey that runs seamlessly, resonates deeply, and feels like it could only ever have been yours.

Ready to plan the trip you’ll be talking about for years to come? Your future self will thank you.

Over four decades, the Chaidemenos family transformed the 17th-century wine caves of Oia into one of Santorini’s most dazzling boutique stays: The Canaves Ena.

Their signature style? Soft curves, natural stone, and white-washed elegance. Each suite opens onto a private veranda for sunset dinners overlooking the Caldera (the kind of views that stops you mid‑sentence).

My favorite moment here? When the sun dips behind the Caldera and the island glows in gold. Pair that view with a crisp local Assyrtiko and you’ll understand why this spot tops my list.

Santorini is waiting. Contact me to begin your retreat.

If Alpine coziness had a five-star address, this would be it.

When you check into Aman Rosa Alpina, your hardest decision might be whether to hit the slopes or stay fireside with a glass of Ferrari Champagne. (I wouldn’t blame you for the latter.)

Set in the postcard‑perfect village of San Cassiano, this historic retreat pairs mountain charm with Aman’s signature understated luxury. When the skis come off, melt into the Finnish sauna or soak in the 20‑meter outdoor infinity pool as snowflakes drift around you.

Evenings are for slow dinners, local wines, and that “I‑could‑stay‑forever” feeling. Suites come with fireplaces, plush lounges, and minibars stocked with pre‑mixed cocktails. It’s the perfect base for ski, soak, sip, repeat.

Curious? Let’s talk it through.

Would you journey to the ends of the Earth to discover its last wild places?

Antarctica, Greenland, the North Pole, and the Amazon, few ever reach these frontiers, but expedition travel opens the door.

You could track polar bears across Arctic ice, trek through jungles with conservationists, and cycle untouched stretches of Greenland. Or you could board an icebreaker bound for Antarctica, soaring above glaciers in a helicopter.

These are journeys designed for the few. They’re purposeful, high-touch, and filled with exclusive encounters for wonder without compromise.

Your adventure starts here. I'll chart your path.

When I say wild, rugged West Coast, what comes to mind?

You won’t quite grasp the raw beauty of Vancouver Island’s jagged coastline until you’ve seen it for yourself.

Resting along the edge of cliffs and wrapped in ancient rainforest, The Wickaninnish Inn is a sensational boutique hideaway. Adventure and comfort coexist here; you’ll pass your time storm-watching, surfing, and embracing spa rituals beneath Sitka spruces.

The Wickaninnish Inn feels like the edge of the world (in the best possible way). When it’s time to switch off, I’ll show you where to go.

Once a Hollywood hideaway, this is one of Baja's most timeless escapes.

Since the 1950s, One&Only Palmilla has been the retreat for travelers who want privacy, impeccable service, and that unmistakable Baja sunshine.

Here's what I love most: it's one of the few Los Cabos resorts with a swimmable beach, and the staff somehow remembers every guest's favorite drink (try the fresh mango margarita by the pool). The spa feels like its own little sanctuary, and if you're traveling with family, your private butler will have everyone's surfboards and snorkeling gear waiting before you even ask.

And here's my insider tip: don't miss the hilltop chapel, a local icon where many of the resort's famous guests have said "I do."
Palmilla has hosted stars for decades, and now it's your turn. I'd love to plan your stay.

One hundred thirty years ago, a crew set sail into uncharted Arctic waters…and expedition cruising was born.

Today, HX Expeditions still navigates those wild frontiers, now with expert naturalists, small-boat safaris, and science centers onboard for the next generation of intrepid travelers.

They journey to the planet’s most awe-inspiring places, spotting Gentoo penguins in Antarctica, humpbacks off Greenland, and polar bears in Svalbard. Passengers become part of a mission to support conservation in some of the globe’s most fragile ecosystems.

These voyages are unpredictable, unforgettable, and completely unlike anything else. Get in touch to learn more!

I know you’re already dreaming about where to travel next year. And I bet you’ve got a longer-term wish list, too.

As we head into the new year and the inevitable “Planuary” rush, now is the time to map out your travel blueprint. What’s on your list for 2026? What dream destinations deserve space on your 2-3 year horizon? And which once-in-a-lifetime journeys belong on your 5-year plan?

I’ll map out your most ambitious adventures with the right timing, properties, and logistics. Every detail will be tailored to your style, budget, and pace. Think of a travel blueprint as your personal strategy for making your big dreams doable, without the pitfalls and guesswork.

The new year is coming fast. Let me be your trusted travel partner.

An adventure honeymoon, elevated to pure luxury.

Some of the most sensational memories you can create as a couple happen when you’re exploring new frontiers together. That’s why my recommendation for bold couples is an itinerary filled with exclusive, personalized experiences designed to challenge, inspire, and connect you.

It might be a private sailing expedition through Indonesia’s remote archipelagos, an ice-cave trek in Patagonia, or even a wilderness survival course in Madagascar. The thrill comes from sharing moments that few others ever will.

And when the day’s activities end, you retreat to seamless comfort in the form of boutique lodges, private villas, or remote eco-retreats. Once-in-a-lifetime experiences paired with luxurious intimacy are the winning combination.

Save this post if an adventure honeymoon is on your list!

Rio wouldn’t be Rio without this hotel.

For over a century, Belmond Copacabana Palace has defined beachfront glamour as much a part of the city’s story as Sugarloaf Mountain or Carnival. Step through its Art Deco doors and you’ll feel it: chandeliers glinting, marble floors gleaming, and that easy, sun‑kissed rhythm only Rio can pull off.

By sunset, the rooftop pool is the ideal spot for Caipirinhas and peering out on a skyline that looks painted by hand. Dinner brings Michelin‑starred indulgence at MEE or laid‑back flavors at Pérgula, all set to the city’s signature beat.

Experience Rio from its most storied hotel. I’ll help you make it your next stop.
