I grew up as a Third Culture Kid (TCK) and have been traveling the world since I was 10 years old. I've had the privilege of living in four different countries across the Middle East and Africa and traveling to countless others—including a few you may not have heard of (Tajikistan and Eritrea).

Recently, my family and I returned to the United States to begin an exciting new chapter. This transition inspired me to turn my passion for travel into a career. As a certified travel advisor, I now run a boutique luxury travel business, helping others create unforgettable cultural journeys. My experiences have given me a deep understanding of travel, from its breathtaking highs to its challenging moments.

I would be delighted to help you plan your next extraordinary trip.

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.”

- Mark Twain
