Favorite Destination
France remains my most cherished destination, constantly inspiring me with its breathtaking aesthetic and rich heritage. What began as a childhood fascination while learning the language blossomed into a deeply emotional milestone when I first witnessed Notre Dame in adulthood. I believe travel is at its best when it fills us with awe and anticipation. I bring this heartfelt dedication to every custom itinerary I design, ensuring my clients feel that same magic.
My Travel Style
Purposeful and immersive. Every destination behaves like a beautifully wrapped package, holding distinct flavors, rich histories, and visual wonders just beneath the surface. I am deeply passionate about the architecture of a trip—carefully vetting restaurants, essential sights, and local secrets to ensure a complete experience. Once the roadmap is beautifully laid out, the rush disappears, leaving nothing left to do but slow down and enjoy the view.
Fun Facts
I am a proud Rhode Island native, though the South has now claimed the majority of my years. My earliest appreciation for coastal life was forged during classic New England summers—braving the cold Atlantic surf, riding antique flying carousels, and discovering hermit crabs in the tide pools. As an avid college and professional football enthusiast, I eagerly anticipate the arrival of fall. The spectacle of packed stadiums and the fierce, playful rivalries for seasonal bragging rights are exhilarating. Beyond the game itself, I am moved by the camaraderie; sports provide a profound, authentic experience where victory and defeat transcend age and background, bringing us all together. While my focus today is on curating travel, my roots are in academia. I hold a PhD in Political Science and have spent significant time at the university level teaching international relations and terrorism. Today, that analytical background gives me a unique, deeply informed appreciation for the geopolitics and cultures of the countries I explore.
