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!

Northern California Travel Agent Specialist

California’s beauty is legendary—but what makes it unforgettable is how effortlessly it blends sophistication with laid-back charm. I specialize in crafting luxury getaways that spotlight the best of San Francisco, Napa, and Sonoma—three regions that offer distinctive flavors of California magic. Having explored this area in depth, I know how to turn a classic trip into something truly special, with private touches and seamless planning that elevate the experience from start to finish.

San Francisco is a city of contrasts—historic yet modern, quirky yet elegant. I help travelers uncover its layers, from iconic sights like the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz Island, to lesser-known neighborhoods filled with character, art, and exceptional dining. Imagine starting your day with a private walking tour of the Mission District’s vibrant murals and finishing with a waterfront dinner in Sausalito, reached by private ferry. Whether you're riding a cable car through Nob Hill, shopping along Union Square, or sampling artisanal bites at the Ferry Building Marketplace, I’ll ensure every detail is styled to your tastes.

From there, the magic continues in wine country, where rolling hills, vineyard-lined roads, and warm hospitality create the perfect escape. Napa Valley and Sonoma County each offer a unique take on the wine country experience. In Napa, I arrange private tastings at renowned estates, luxury accommodations with vineyard views, and exclusive experiences like blending your own bottle or enjoying a chef-led wine pairing dinner under the stars. Sonoma, with its more relaxed pace, is ideal for those seeking authenticity without sacrificing elegance—think family-run wineries, charming towns like Healdsburg, and hidden gem restaurants that rival the best in the state.My clients love that I take care of everything—from arranging chauffeured transfers between tastings, to booking spa retreats and hot air balloon rides over the valley. Whether it’s a romantic weekend, a girlfriends' getaway, or a milestone celebration, I customize every itinerary to match the mood and intention of the trip. I also curate unique add-ons like guided hikes through redwood forests, scenic drives along the Pacific Coast Highway, or sunset cruises on the Bay for travelers who want to go beyond the vineyard.

What sets California apart is the way it weaves together indulgence and inspiration. It’s about savoring a perfectly aged Cabernet while watching the fog roll over the hills—or finding the perfect vintage in a tucked-away boutique before heading to a rooftop lounge with sweeping city views. I design every trip to reflect that balance, creating experiences that are both relaxed and refined.California’s magic is in the details—and I know how to make them shine. If you're ready to explore the Golden State in style, I'd be honored to help you plan a journey that feels effortless, exclusive, and deeply memorable.
