What that taught me, more than anything, was how to listen, ask the right questions, and turn a lot of moving pieces into something that actually works.
I traveled for work... but I worked to travel.
Every trip was research. Every hotel stay, every restaurant, every local experience was a mental note filed away for later. I just didn't know yet what "later" was going to look like.
In 2022, it all clicked. I said a very thankful goodbye to Corporate America and launched this dream business of mine, and now I get to do the thing I've always loved most, every single day: take your wish list, your travel style, your people, and your pace, and design a trip from scratch that feels like it was made for you. Because it was.
You tell me what you're dreaming about, and I handle everything else... the research, the design, the reservations, the details you didn't even know to think about, and the real-time support once you're there. Our research, design, and concierge fee covers all of it, so you can spend your energy on the good part: actually looking forward to the trip.
I've got two college-age kids
I genuinely understand the magic (and nearly impossible task) of pulling a family or group of friends together for a trip when life keeps everyone moving in different directions. Some of my favorite itineraries have been designed for families at exactly that stage.
Italy holds a very special place in my heart and my expertise. I've been there many, many times ...but it's never enough. If it's on your list, you're in good hands.
I'm second-generation Italian
My Bernedoodle, Bob, works alongside me
Clients often have the pleasure of meeting him during calls. He gives me the cold shoulder for days the moment my suitcase appears, but we’re working on that.
When I'm not designing epic trips...
I'm probably watching a soccer game somewhere (Go Atlanta United and Sic ‘Em Dawgs!), or doing what I lovingly refer to as "research" by reading all my favorite travel Substacks or watching The Travel Channel on loop.
