Ways to travel well

Luxury hotels, honeymoons, wine country and wellness, plus the trips I know from the trail, the stadium and the train window. Every trip gets the same care, with partner perks on top.

What each trip includes

For every stay

Luxury hotels & resorts

The right hotel shapes the whole trip. I'll help you choose, then book it in a way that gets you the most out of your stay.

  • Preferred-partner perks at luxury hotels
  • Upgrades and early check-in requested for you
  • Room advice from someone who has built and run hotels
  • Multi-stop itineraries that flow well

For life's big moments

Honeymoons & special celebrations

Your first trip as newlyweds, a milestone anniversary or birthday, or a gathering worth marking. I build the trip around the people and the occasion.

  • Honeymoons and minimoons
  • Anniversaries, proposals and milestone birthdays
  • Overwater villas, private pools and adults-only resorts
  • Celebration touches arranged ahead of arrival

For wine lovers

Wine tourism

Planned by a certified sommelier who knows the difference between a tasting room and a winemaker's table, and how to get you to the second one.

  • Vineyard hotels and wine country estates
  • Private tastings, cellar visits and winemaker dinners
  • Napa and Sonoma, Bordeaux and Burgundy, Tuscany and Piedmont
  • Mendoza, Patagonia and British Columbia's Okanagan
  • Missouri wine country weekends: Augusta, Hermann and the Norton grape

For body and mind

Yoga & wellness

From a 200-hour certified yoga teacher: trips that leave you rested, not just tan, with practice and spa time built in.

  • Wellness resorts and destination spas
  • Private yoga sessions arranged at your hotel
  • Retreat-style itineraries for solo travelers, couples and friends
  • Hot springs, thermal baths and slow mornings

For once-in-a-lifetime tickets

Historic events

Tickets are the easy part. I plan the hotel, the transport and the days around the match. I volunteered at the 2026 World Cup in Kansas City and went to the Paris 2024 Olympics, so I know how fast the good rooms go.

  • Olympics and World Cup trips, with LA28 next
  • Finals, Grand Prix weekends and major tournaments
  • Hotels booked early, near the venue or somewhere better
  • Days between events for food, wine and sights

For trail lovers and thrill seekers

Adventure & sport

I've walked the whole Appalachian Trail, part of the Tour du Mont Blanc and a good share of Patagonia, and I bolted my own climbing route outside Bariloche. I'll plan the big days with the right guides and gear, and make sure the nights are easy.

  • Ski and snowboard trips, from ski-in, ski-out lodges to heli-skiing
  • Surf trips and surf camps, with lessons for beginners
  • Rock climbing with certified local guides, from first lessons to multi-pitch
  • Hiking, hut-to-hut and inn-to-inn, with luggage moved for you
  • Mountaineering with licensed guides, from first summits to glacier skills

Ocean, river and expedition cruises, plus days on a private yacht. I'll match the ship to the trip you want.

  • Luxury ocean and small-ship cruises

  • Private yacht charters and day sails
  • Hotel stays before and after you sail

For wide-open spaces

Safari & wildlife

Game drives, good lodges and the right month to go. On safari, timing matters as much as the camp.

  • Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana and South Africa
  • Gorilla and chimpanzee trekking in Uganda and Rwanda
  • Lodges and tented camps with private guides
  • A beach or wine country finish, like Cape Town's Winelands

For the scenic route

Rail journeys

Some of the best views on any trip are from a train window, and a good rail journey turns the travel day into the highlight.

  • Scenic trains through the Swiss Alps
  • Scotland's West Highland Line and the Glenfinnan Viaduct
  • The Rocky Mountaineer through the Canadian Rockies
  • Overnight and luxury trains across Europe

For long weekends

City & culture breaks

Long weekends with a hotel in the right neighborhood, a few great tables and time to wander.

  • Lisbon, Paris, Rome and Barcelona
  • Private guides, food tours and museum time
  • Hotels in walkable neighborhoods
  • Easy add-ons to a longer trip

Start planning

The form takes about five minutes. It tells me where you're dreaming of going, who's coming, your budget and your travel style, so our first conversation can get right to the good part.
