Dérive (noun) - To drift unplanned, led only by the landscape and architecture around you.
I am a love for architecture, exploring new cities led by culture and art, and building personalized itineraries for those wanting to experience luxury & wellness behind their destination’s borders. Details, planning, and ensuring transparency in every step of my process is my main concern; To guarantee your peace of mind & put your trip desires first. I first explored my interests in planning first at a Small Family-Operated Travel Company in my hometown of York, Pennsylvania & quickly gained knowledge of Europe, Southeast Asia, South America & more. From here, I have branched off and became a Full-Time Online Travel Advisor.
My wanderlust spirit leads me to finding the richest of cultural towns filled with beaches & spas for relaxation, century-old castles, cathedrals, and museums for exploration, and luxurious MICHELIN/Boutique-Style Restaurants & Bars to fulfill your foodie needs. Reaching the status of Super Agent on Travel Leaders, I have continued to collaborate with travelers looking to make a Destination trip out of a new country, or revisiting a city that they want to dive deeper into. Whether you are wanting to sip on cocktails on Cascais' best beaches, or trek Bali Indonesia’s active Mount Batur Volcano, or are arranging a road trip through Spain to visit all of Antoni Gaudí Designed Buildings (or maybe that’s just me), I will go above and beyond to tailor the culture of each destination to fit each couple, group, or family.
To drift unplanned, whether led by the landscape and architecture of a new area, or led by the land or locals across the world, I will take care of you.

The mere mention of Bali evokes thoughts of a paradise. It's more than a place; it's a mood, an aspiration, a tropical state of mind. Bali is filled with Temples, Jungles, The Rice Terraces, Waterfalls, & Beaches. The really nice thing about Bali is that you can do so many different things in such a compact area. You can go rafting, surfing, climb volcanoes, visit monkeys, or tour the amazing rice terraces — often all in the same day! You can wake up for a sunrise hike of Mount Batur (an active volcano), spend the afternoon staring over rice terraces and exploring the Monkey Forest, and still be back at Seminyak beach in time to sip a drink while watching the sunset!
If you’re looking for a place to relax, Bali has everything you need. From long stretches of beaches, tons of boutique hotels and resorts, and a world-famous culture known for welcoming visitors, it’s no wonder so many people fall in love with Bali.
Reach out to me to plan the most detailed and relaxing Honeymoons, Friends/ Family Travels, or Solo Travels to Bali.

Weather Highlights:
When I have requests about travel to South East Asia, there is a common debate between whether Bali or Thailand your travel dates & travel style. The best months to take the trip to Indonesia take place in the Dry Season; Ironically, Thailand is flipped completely. April to October is prime-time for UBUD’S Rice Terrace & Pool Views, to ULUWATU’S dramatic cliffside sea views while Beach-Club jumping.

Must-Stay Areas in Indonesia:
- UBUD - This is a place where traditional Balinese culture imbues every waking moment, where colorful offerings adorn the streets and where the hypnotic strains of gamelan are an ever-present soundtrack to everyday life. It's also somewhere that is relentlessly on trend – a showcase of sustainable design, mindfulness, culinary inventiveness and the very best that global tourism has to offer.
- ULUWATU - Nestled in the southern tip of Bali island, Uluwatu is known for its dramatic cliff top views, white sand beaches and epic surf breaks. The area offers an alluring mix of surf culture, luxurious cliff top living and local village life.
- KUTA - Nestled in the southern tip of Bali island, Uluwatu is known for its dramatic cliff top views, white sand beaches and epic surf breaks. The area offers an alluring mix of surf culture, luxurious cliff top living and local village life.
- NUSA DUA - Nusa Dua translates literally as 'Two Islands' – although they are actually small raised headlands, each with a small temple. But Nusa Dua is much better known as Bali's gated compound of resort hotels. It's a vast and manicured place where you leave the chaos of the rest of the island behind as you pass the guards.
- NUSA PENIDA - The beautiful, exotic Nusa Penida island lies just 25 kilometers from Bali, the most famous tourist destination in Indonesia. Imagine white sand beaches, swaying palm trees, epic viewpoints, manta rays and cute cafes: Kelingking Beach, Paluang Cliff Viewpoint, Broken Beach, Crystal Bay, Banah Cliff Point, Angel’s Billabong, & more.
- JIMBARAN - Jimbaran is a fishing village and coastal resort south of Kuta on the Indonesian island of Bali. Jimbaran Bay has a long beach with calm waters. It's lined with fish restaurants and backed by tropical forest. At its northern end, colorful boats are pulled up by the lively, open-air Kedonganan fish market. Southwest of the bay are Dreamland Beach and Balangan Beach, known for their strong surf waves.
- CANGGU/SEMINYAK - More a state of mind than a place, Canggu is the catch-all name given to the villa-filled stretch of land between Kerobokan and Echo Beach. It's packed with an ever-more alluring collection of businesses, especially casual cafes. Three main strips have emerged, all running down to the beaches.
