Travel Guru & Memory Creator

My Elephant, Waree in Thailand

I'm a curator of travel.  As I go and experience destinations, I vet first hand everything I sell. Creating your unique itinerary is my passion.  My goal is to find you the best experience with locals who may become future life long friends. 

My company's mission is to keep travel sustainable and equitable.  I do that by working with locals to guide you on making you a world traveler not a tourist in a destination.  Sure you will do touristy things, however you'll experience them as a local.  

Book Here, Give Here works with locals to help them become economically self sufficient through tourism.  The locals I pair you up with show you the side of their destination that is off the beaten path, a place where the locals go that you won't necessarily find online.   

I've in in travel now for 29 years and counting.  I've visited 47 countries and I'm not stopping anytime soon.  Some countries and destinations, I've had the pleasure of experiencing more than once in my lifetime with eyes from a child, adolescent, your adult to now a much older adult.  They say who you are in every decade of your life changes based on your experiences.  Well travel has changed me from the moment I started to travel alone at the ripe age of 17.  Luckily, I was able to study abroad in Switzerland as a young adult and that allowed me to gallivant to other countries during short and long breaks.  It's what taught me that travel is a living classroom and now it's what I add to your itineraries. 

So let's have a chat and start the planning process of creating a trip that is uniquely yours.   

Ready to start planning?

First step is to complete a trip questionnaire found on this link:

Secondly, we set up a call to discuss your trip, how I work and my retainer fee for this trip.  The consultation call is free, however my trip planning starts at $850 depending on the complexity of the trip and your needs.  This is paid at the time you want to hire me.

Once my retainer is paid, I get to work on curating your itinerary that's unique to you.  You will review and make changes to this itinerary for the 1st revision.  if need be, we go back to the drawing board one more time. 

Next, we begin the process of reserving and buying your itinerary.  Lastly, you go on your trip and have me in the background in case anything comes up.
