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!

Utah: Where Wild Beauty Meets World-Class Adventure

Utah is where the raw power of nature and the elegance of the outdoors come together in perfect balance. From the towering red rock arches of Moab to the alpine refinement of Park City, Utah is a destination that speaks to adventurers, wellness seekers, and luxury travelers alike. It’s a place where you can hike through ancient canyons at sunrise and enjoy a five-star spa treatment by sunset—a seamless blend of wild and refined.

Moab: A Red Rock Playground for the Soul

I’ve spent a lot of time in Moab, and every visit deepens my appreciation for this one-of-a-kind desert town. It’s a place where the land speaks—where towering arches and surreal rock formations create a backdrop that feels both ancient and cinematic. Moab sits perfectly between two national treasures: Arches and Canyonlands. Arches National Park boasts over 2,000 natural arches, each glowing a little differently depending on the light. Canyonlands, just a short drive away, offers expansive views, dramatic canyons, and endless space to roam.What I love most about Moab is its balance of adrenaline and serenity. One day you’re rafting the Colorado River or riding world-famous slickrock trails, and the next you’re soaking up silence under a blanket of stars. You’ll find rustic-luxe lodging, creative Southwest cuisine, and local guides who can help you access the most awe-inspiring places—without the crowds.

Park City: Alpine Elegance with Year-Round CharmPark City is another place close to my heart. I’ve spent seasons here soaking in the rhythm of mountain life, and it never fails to impress. Known for its world-class skiing and the iconic Sundance Film Festival, Park City is just as magical in summer as it is in winter. Deer Valley and Park City Mountain Resort offer terrain for every level, and when the snow melts, the mountains become a paradise for hiking, biking, and outdoor concerts.The town itself is steeped in charm, from the historic Main Street lined with boutiques and galleries to the cozy wine bars and high-end restaurants tucked into alpine lodges. It’s easy to blend luxury and adventure here—whether you’re unwinding at a spa, indulging in a gourmet meal, or enjoying a private sleigh ride through the snow.What makes Park City special to me is its warmth—not just in the crackling fireplaces and hot tubs, but in the welcoming spirit of the community. It’s upscale without being pretentious, adventurous without being overwhelming, and it always feels like coming home.

The Mighty 5: Utah’s National ParksUtah is home to the iconic “Mighty 5”: Arches, Canyonlands, Bryce Canyon, Zion, and Capitol Reef. Each park tells its own story through stone and time. Bryce Canyon’s surreal amphitheaters of hoodoos glow like candlelit temples. Zion’s towering cliffs and hidden waterfalls feel sacred and still. Capitol Reef, the most underrated of the five, offers an off-the-beaten-path escape through orchards, domes, and crimson canyons.These parks are ideal for road trips and can be explored in comfort and style. Think luxury glamping beneath the stars, private guided hikes with expert naturalists, chef-prepared meals in the wild, and even scenic helicopter flights over red rock country. Whether you’re chasing epic views or moments of stillness, Utah delivers.
