I’m independent, and that’s the way I like it. I’m not affiliated with any travel company and don’t have sponsors. I’m free to recommend travel experts who I believe will deliver the best experience for you. After 30+ years in the industry, my heartfelt belief in the transformational power of travel hasn’t damped one iota and I have free rein to cherrypick from travel’s cream of the crop. 

My reputation–and our relationship–is built on trust. I will never jeopardize that by recommending travel experts, products, or experiences that fail to meet my rigorous standards. I will always be honest about who I refer and why.

I respect the people I work with, from clients and partners to guides and hosts. My experts remember names, are passionate about what they do, and will go above and beyond to make your trip spectacular. It sounds like the least you should expect, but too many travel companies fail to provide this basic level of service. I politely request my clients respect me and my time, but especially that of my travel pros.

I promise to deliver the kind of high-level service that has become a thing of the past for too many companies. I’ll remember your preferences, call when I say I’m going to, reply promptly to emails, and act with discretion. It’s the little things that make the difference. 

My connections are the real deal. They’re authentic travel nerds who live and breathe what they do. They’ve traveled extensively through their region (they may live or have lived there). They’ve slept in the beds, met the guides, sampled the street food, and have long-term relationships with the people they trust to take excellent care of you. Every travel expert in my black book sweats the details and considers crafting an itinerary that will blow your socks off a matter of personal pride.
