I design trips that feel luxurious but never intimidating, with a focus on experiences that are thoughtful, comfortable, and easy to enjoy. I keep families at the center of my planning, including LGBTQ+ families, and prioritize destinations and partners where everyone feels welcome and at ease. Food, culture, and a true sense of place matter deeply to me, which is why I work with local vendors whenever possible and highlight experiences that go beyond the obvious. I’m always mindful of value, and I only recommend hotels, experiences, and destinations that I’ve personally stayed in or would confidently choose for myself.

I focus on luxury that feels relaxed and livable, places where you can truly settle in rather than just admire from a distance.

1. I plan with real family dynamics in mind, including pacing, space, and moments that work for both adults and kids, without sacrificing quality.

2. I’m intentional about choosing destinations, hotels, and experiences where LGBTQ+ families feel comfortable, welcome, and simply normal.

3. I prioritize food and culture as a gateway to understanding a place, often weaving in neighborhood restaurants, markets, and local traditions.

4. I seek out local guides and vendors who bring depth, authenticity, and a personal connection to each destination.

5. I’m mindful of value at every level, helping clients invest where it matters most and avoid unnecessary splurges.

6. I only recommend places and experiences I know well, have personally enjoyed, or would confidently choose for my own family.
