Based in Santa Barbara, United States
As a Southern California native with a deep love for exploration, I've built my life around the experiences that truly nourish the soul: travel, exquisite food and wine, the energy of live music, and the breathtaking beauty of nature. Based here in the American Riviera, Santa Barbara, I specialize in crafting journeys that go beyond the typical tourist path, focusing on authentic encounters and sustainable practices. My approach to travel is driven by an insatiable curiosity. I believe the most memorable trips are those where you truly connect with the local culture, savor the regional flavors, and find those unique, boutique experiences that resonate long after you've returned home. Whether it's discovering a hidden gem in the Santa Ynez Valley or planning a luxurious escape to a far-flung destination, I'm dedicated to creating itineraries that reflect your personal style and interests. I have a particular fondness for properties that embody the spirit of their location while offering exceptional service. The Rosewood Miramar Beach here in Santa Barbara is a perfect example, blending iconic California charm with incredible culinary experiences. Further afield, I admire the commitment to local culture and wellness at places like Six Senses Ibiza, the luxurious and unforgettable settings of Auberge Resorts, and the serene beauty of Aman Kyoto. I also love incorporating unique stays like glamping in stunning national parks for those who want to immerse themselves in nature. My expertise lies in curating bespoke experiences, from romantic wedding destinations to sustainable adventures and luxury getaways. I'm here to help you navigate the possibilities and design a trip that not only meets your expectations but surpasses them, creating lasting memories and a deeper connection with the world. Let's chat about your travel dreams and how we can make them a reality.
