Some people are drawn to Peru by photos of Machu Picchu. Others come for the cuisine, culture or the promise of adventure. For me, Peru is each of these things and something more!
Peru is a country that has shaped me personally and professionally and continues to inspire me. I’ve spent extensive time immersed in Peru’s landscapes and even had the opportunity to reside in Cusco, a city offering a living connection to the country’s rich past and vibrant present. I learned to navigate its cobblestone streets like a local, formed relationships with residents and discovered places / perspectives that most tourists never see.
My journey has centered around connecting others to the magic of Peru. Whether its savoring ceviche at a Michelin-level restaurant in Lima, exploring pre-Columbian ruins, cruising through the wildlife-rich waters of the Islas Ballestas (AKA “Mini Galapagos”) or guiding clients to a peaceful, family-run ecolodge in the Andes, my mission is to design journeys that are deeply enriching, flawlessly executed and utterly unforgettable.
I specialize in luxury, adventure and eco-tourism - three areas where Peru truly excels. My approach combines logistical precision with personal insight.
I’m always on the lookout for what’s new, what’s emerging and what’s worth returning to time and again. If you’re looking for someone who knows Peru inside and out (and who can turn your dream trip into a seamless reality) give me a call or send me an e-mail today!

Coastal New England Travel Agent Specialist I specialize in crafting unforgettable getaways to Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket, and Cape Cod—three destinations where coastal charm meets timeless New England elegance.
I spent an entire summer living on Martha’s Vineyard, fully immersed in the rhythms of island life. That season gave me more than just a suntan; it gave me insider knowledge and a deep love for this part of the world. From early-morning beach walks in Edgartown to sunset dinners in Menemsha, from sailing past lighthouses to discovering hidden art galleries, I experienced it all—and I bring that same passion and local know-how to every itinerary I create.Whether you're dreaming of a romantic weekend tucked away in a whitewashed inn, a luxurious beachfront escape with all the comforts, or a multi-generational family vacation full of sandcastles, seafood, and seaside adventures, I know how to match each traveler with the perfect corner of the coast. My clients trust me to plan with care, creativity, and a deep understanding of what makes a New England summer so magical.
Martha’s Vineyard is my specialty, and it never fails to captivate. The island is a world of contrasts: colorful gingerbread cottages in Oak Bluffs, the understated grace of Edgartown’s historic homes, the rugged beauty of Aquinnah’s cliffs, and the pastoral calm of up-Island roads. I’ll help you discover its quieter, more soulful side—think boutique inns, private yoga sessions overlooking the ocean, hidden beaches, and chef’s-table dining at under-the-radar spots. Because I spent a full season on the island, I have trusted relationships with locals—from innkeepers and sailing captains to chefs and artists—which means I can offer my clients special experiences that go beyond the typical itinerary.
Nantucket, with its cobblestone streets and weathered shingle cottages, offers its own brand of coastal sophistication. It’s a place where time slows down and elegance is effortless. I love helping clients tap into its refined charm—curated shopping strolls, scenic bike rides to Sconset, cocktail hours at harborside inns, and reservations at the island’s most beloved restaurants. Whether you arrive by ferry or private plane, I’ll make sure every detail of your stay is smooth, stylish, and stress-free.
And then there’s Cape Cod—stretching out into the Atlantic like a curled arm, dotted with charming villages, sweeping beaches, and iconic lighthouses. From the upscale calm of Chatham to the creative energy of Provincetown, the Cape offers endless options for exploration and relaxation. I can arrange everything from private whale-watching tours and oyster farm tastings to beach bonfires and art walks.From ferry transfers and boutique stays to sunset sails and hidden local gems, I handle every detail so you can simply enjoy the moment. My clients come to me for personalized service, custom itineraries, and local expertise that turns a simple trip into something truly special.Planning your escape to the Massachusetts coast should be just as peaceful as being there.
Whether you're celebrating a milestone, escaping for a quiet retreat, or introducing your family to the magic of New England summers, I’ll create a seamless experience filled with beauty, culture, and unforgettable memories.Let me show you the elegant side of island and coastal life—where luxury feels relaxed, every sunset feels cinematic, and every day ends with salty air and a sense of calm. Call or e-mail me today to get your dream trip in the books!
My Reviews
A solo river cruise I'll never forget
I was nervous to travel alone, but Joyce found the perfect Danube River cruise for me—friendly, safe, and full of culture. I made friends, saw castles and vineyards, and even had private guides in Vienna and Budapest. I’ve already asked her to help plan my next one in France.

An incredible family adventure through Costa Rica!
Joyce helped us plan a 10-day journey that had something for everyone—zip-lining through the jungle, a chocolate-making workshop, beach time in Manuel Antonio, and eco-lodges that our kids are still talking about. We felt safe, well taken care of, and completely immersed in the experience.

The Alaska cruise Joyce planned for us was flawles
I had always dreamed of seeing glaciers up close, and this cruise exceeded every expectation. From the scenic rail ride in Skagway to whale watching in Juneau, every moment was unforgettable. Joyce handled all the logistics—private excursions, ship dining, even a spa treatment. We can’t wait to plan our next one!

I never knew a road trip could feel so luxurious.
We drove from Santa Fe to Sedona, stopping at beautiful boutique hotels and incredible restaurants Joyce picked for us. She even helped us score a sunrise hot air balloon ride in Arizona! The trip felt so personal, and every detail was taken care of.
