PREMIUM SMALL SHIP CRUISING TRAVEL SPECIALIST
Born and raised in Melbourne, Australia, I bring a global spirit and a seasoned traveler’s perspective to every journey I plan. My passport tells the story: from the vibrant streets of Mexico to the historic canals of Venice, the whitewashed villages of Greece, the vineyards of France, and the scenic railways of Europe. I’ve lived in London and Australia, and I now call the east coast of the United States home. I’ve explored nearly every U.S. state, experienced the energy of Munich’s beer festival, and sailed on countless cruises — each trip adding to my understanding of what makes a journey truly special. I’m not just a travel advisor — I’m your partner in planning meaningful, effortless experiences. With a deep love of food and culture, I infuse every itinerary with thoughtful touches, local flavor, and genuine care. Whether you’re dreaming of your first river cruise or a rail adventure through the Alps, my goal is simple: to help you travel better, with confidence and at every step.
