Dream Travel Expert

What is your travel dream? There's a good chance I've been where you want to go, so I can offer a nuanced perspective that you won't find in a guidebook and help you find the trip that will really suit you. Having traveled to every state in the U.S. and set foot on all seven continents, I’m familiar with many bucket-list destinations: Antarctica, Alaska, Europe, Hawaii, South America, Australia, North Africa and Eastern Asia.

Now's the time to stop reading about the places you want to see and start planning your dream trip with me!
