Travel, for me, has never been about checking boxes. It’s about the moments that stay with you—the ones that shift something, even just a little.

I’ve had my share of those moments. Dressing up to see the Three Tenors in Sorrento. Riding a train in Calabria that literally boarded a ferry and crossed the sea. Eating granita for dinner at Bam Bar in Taormina (twice) because it felt exactly right in that moment. Getting completely pulled into the history and culture of a place and losing hours (happily) wandering and doing research.

And then there are the trips that become part of your story—the epic Sicily adventure where my suitcase fell apart on the street, living on a narrowboat in Wales surrounded by gardens and sheep, and a girls’ road trip across Ireland with my besties. These aren’t just vacations. They’re experiences layered with memory, connection, and a little bit of magic.

I approach every trip the way I’ve approached my entire career—by seeing the whole picture, anticipating what matters, and handling the details so you don’t have to. After decades of solving complex problems and making high-stakes decisions, I bring that same clarity and precision to travel. I think three steps ahead. I notice what others miss. And I make sure things work the way they should. Because travel should feel as good as it looks.

I’m based in Philadelphia and I’m a planner by nature—of trips, of spaces, of life. When I’m not mapping out itineraries, I’m probably baking sourdough, craftin, or loving on my cat - Walter.

I believe the right trip, at the right time, can do more than give you a break. It can give you perspective. Energy. Sometimes even a way forward when you are stuck. I believe that good travel experiences are medicine, and that’s what I plan for.
