Stand tall and dream boldly!

With 25+ years of turning wanderlust into itineraries and 17 years of writing about the world's most extraordinary places, travel isn't just what I do, it's the language I think in. My degree in anthropology gives me a deep love for the why behind every culture, cuisine, and custom, and my adventures (yes, including working alongside lions in Zambia) have taught me that the best trips are the ones that leave you a little changed. I'm drawn to the landscapes that leap from the pages of my tattered vintage travel magazines, the meals that tell a region's whole story in a single bite, and the moments that simply can't be Googled. Whether you're craving a soul-stirring cultural immersion, an epic culinary journey, or an adventure that makes for a really good story at dinner parties, I'm your human!  Ready to turn your "someday" into your next departure date? Let's make it happen.
