My Story

A Life Spent Exploring

I took my first commercial flight solo at the age of 12, and haven’t forgotten the thrill of setting out on a journey to someplace new.  Growing up, my family moved 14 times, lived in 7 US cities, and I spent all 4 years of High School in London.   While living in the UK, I was able to ski in Italy, Austria and Switzerland, traveled to Spain, Italy, Greece, The Netherlands, France, the USSR, and was an exchange student in Cologne, Germany. As a corporate executive, I often traveled 100 nights a year, and have attained million-miler status on two airlines.    As an adult, my family journeyed to Europe 12 times, and enjoyed multiple trips to Mexico, the Caribbean and Central America.  We love the ocean, taking 14 cruises, and private sailing journeys in BVI and Croatia.  We also have traveled across Asia, experiencing Taiwan, Japan, Thailand, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Singapore and India.  Morocco was unforgettable.

I believe in being well-traveled, and traveling well, all while maximizing value received throughout the trip.  We encourage a pace that allows the mind time to absorb the people, culture, food and unique surroundings.
