The world is full of extraordinary places, and I have spent my life exploring as many possible. My passions include exploring nature, connecting with different cultures, trying amazing cuisine, meeting wonderful people, and creating layers of lifetime memories from all over the world - and helping you to do the same.

The best experiences are immersive. My specialty is creating adventures that combine responsible wildlife viewing (and photography!) with authentic local and indigenous cultural experiences from the Arctic-to-Africa, Brazil-to-Bahrain, Canada-to-Cambodia, and beyond. 

Whether you are interested in finding bobolinks or bobcats, photographing snowy owls or snow leopards, spying on wood-warblers, or swimming with whale sharks, we can create your ideal vacation.

I bring your unique “dream” experience to life by organizing the perfect itinerary for authentic experiences that meet your goals, physical ability and comfort level and  combine the logistics and “best practices” into plans that make your trip seamless and unforgettable. Tell me, does a luxury lodge entice you, or are you dreaming of a yurt? Do you craving haute cuisine or a taste of the exotic? Is the-perfect-camera angle your goal, or rescuing sea turtles? 

And who will travel with you? Your athlete partner, couch-potato sister, grandpa, or vegan best-friend? What about the kids, or your professional women's group? Or would you prefer to go with some new, like-minded company?  For myself, I love being in nature – but I also love a comfy bed, a good meal, and a guide who can answer all my questions! Whatever nature and culture experience you are dreaming of, I will design the perfect itinerary for exceptional, once-in-a-lifetime experiences every time you travel.

The Perfect Vacation meets Saving-the-World. When we design the perfect itinerary to meet your needs, goals, and dreams for exceptional, once-in-life-times experiences, you can also rest assured that your vacation is also doing good for the planet. We participate in 1% For The World, numerous conservation and local economic, education and health initiatives. 

I am a member of The Explorers Club, a travel adviser, nature and wildlife travel writer, and a firm believer in travel as a force for good in the world. Let’s explore!
