A Lifetime of Curiosity. A Passion for Travel.

Travel has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My dad was a pilot, and some of my earliest memories are of unfamiliar airports, hearing new languages, and the excitement of discovering somewhere I’d never been before. That curiosity has stayed with me, and since 2015, I’ve had the privilege of turning it into a career as a Travel Advisor, planning more than 800 journeys for my clients.

Today, through Live Luxe Travels, I specialize in creating experiences for travelers who believe there’s still so much of the world left to discover. Many of my clients are in a season of life where they have more freedom to explore. They want to experience the places they visit, connect with local cultures, and enjoy the adventure without sacrificing comfort.

That might mean exploring Europe’s wine country on a river cruise, sailing the Adriatic aboard a private yacht, witnessing wildlife on an African safari, or discovering Alaska’s remarkable landscapes on an expedition voyage. Whether you’re traveling with someone you love, gathering friends or family, or setting out on your own, I believe the best journeys are the ones that feel entirely your own.

Why I Don’t Believe in Waiting

I’ve always believed travel changes the way we see the world, and sometimes even ourselves. There’s something special about finally experiencing a place you’ve dreamed of visiting and creating memories that stay with you long after you return home.

The travelers I love working with know that someday doesn’t have to stay someday. They’re curious, ready to explore, and excited about what lies ahead.

My role is to turn that excitement into a thoughtfully planned journey, taking care of the details so you can focus on the experience.

Travel Is Personal to Me

I’ve explored 17 European countries, experienced six river cruise lines, and lived in the Caribbean. I’ve sailed private yachts through the British Virgin Islands and Croatia, where I also planned and hosted a small-ship charter for 24 guests.

My ten years with Williams-Sonoma deepened my appreciation for food, wine, and the experiences that connect us to a destination. I love finding those memorable moments, whether it’s a cooking class, a vineyard lunch, or a waterfront table you’ll still be talking about years later.

My background in marketing and merchandising taught me the importance of listening, understanding what matters, and following through on the details. I bring that same care to every journey I plan.
