After 20 years in corporate logistics, I followed my passion for creating intentional, beautifully curated travel experiences—proving that luxury isn’t about spending more, but traveling smart. This is what luxury travel on a budget means to me.

To me, travel is personal. It’s about the joy of discovery, the power of connection, and yes… the satisfaction of a well-planned itinerary. I know not everyone loves diving into the details—that’s where I come in.

I specialize in affordable luxury and boutique-style trips across the US, Europe, Mexico, and the Caribbean. Whether you're dreaming of a serene seaside escape or a stylish city break, I design memorable journeys that blend comfort, character, and value—all tailored to your taste and budget.

Travel doesn’t have to be out of reach.

I’m here to make it effortless, yet affordable.
