Beyond My Signature Destinations
  For travelers who love the way I design trips—culinary-forward, culturally immersive, boutique, and unhurried—but want to explore somewhere new.

Even though Alaska, Italy, South Korea, and river cruises are my signature specialties, the way I plan travel translates beautifully to many other destinations. If you’re dreaming of a food-focused, culture-rich journey with boutique stays and hidden-gem experiences—whether that’s Spain, Portugal, Japan beyond the classics, or another corner of the world—we can craft something just as intentional and personalized.

What Stays the Same

  • Culinary at the center: markets, cooking classes, chef’s tables, and meals with a story behind them.
  • Deep cultural connection: local guides, artisans, and experiences that go beyond the standard city tour.
  • Boutique and character stays: small properties with a sense of place, not big-box hotels.
  • Off-the-beaten-path feel: quieter neighborhoods, lesser-known regions, and thoughtfully paced itineraries.

Invitation

If you resonate with this style of travel but have a different destination in mind, let’s talk. Your next journey can still be built around the same core: culinary discovery, cultural depth, and luxury that feels warm, authentic, and quietly unforgettable.
