About Me

Culture, History, Food & Wine Specialist

My love for adventure—and for living a big, bold, Venti life—is what keeps me hopping on planes, trains, big boats, little boats, tuk-tuks, and just about any other mode of transport you can think of. This world is vast, diverse, and beautifully complex—how can we not be utterly captivated by it? 

I’ve been a wanderer since I was 15, crossing the border from Canada to Seattle for my first summer job with nothing but a backpack and a beat-up suitcase. I haven’t stopped exploring since.

What grounds me in my work as a travel advisor is a deep commitment to culturally-informed travel—seeking out meaningful, respectful connections with the people and places I visit. I travel with curiosity and humility, always learning.

I’m certified in Culturally-Inclusive Travel and hold wine and culinary certifications (WSET Levels 1 and 2), which allow me to help clients explore destinations through food, drink, and cultural experiences that are rich and immersive. 

Over the years, I’ve gained specialist training in a wide range of experiences, from Aussie adventures and Rocky Mountaineer rail journeys to ocean and river cruising. I also specialize in planning unforgettable trips to Europe, Great Britain, and Disney destinations—whether it’s your first time abroad or your tenth.

I know that travel isn’t always easy—it can be expensive, stressful, and occasionally disappointing. But when it’s done right, it can be something truly transformative. It can reset us, inspire us, and shift how we see the world—and ourselves. 

Whether you’re dreaming of sipping wine in Tuscany, cruising the Danube, watching the sunrise in the Outback, or meeting Mickey with the kids, I’d love to help you plan a trip that’s just right for you.
