After a decade of walking across the world and forging connections in some of the most remote and extraordinary corners of the planet, I discovered something more powerful than the journey itself: the art of crafting experiences that change people. Whether sipping fermented horse milk in a Mongolian ger or watching the sunrise with a shepherd in the hills of Turkey, I learned that true travel isn’t about ticking boxes, it’s about resonance. Today, I use that lived wisdom to curate bespoke journeys for every kind of traveler, from high-net-worth individuals seeking discreet, immersive escapes to budget-conscious explorers chasing authenticity without compromise. My work is driven by a single goal: to create tailored, soul-stirring adventures that feel less like a holiday and more like a homecoming.
My Approach to Bespoke Travel
|
To me, bespoke travel means something intimate and intuitive, rooted not in extravagance, but in understanding. It’s about creating experiences that feel handwoven to the traveler’s spirit, whether it’s a solo retreat in a remote mountain village or a five-star desert immersion designed for absolute discretion. Having lived among communities across five continents, I’ve learned to listen, carefully. That same listening shapes each journey I design. I take into account personality, pace, depth, budget, and intention. Because no two travelers are alike, and no itinerary should be either.
Whether you’re seeking rare access and seamless comfort or chasing meaning on a modest budget, I’ll meet you where you are...and take you somewhere unforgettable. |

Why It Works
- Experience Meets Empathy
Years of leading luxury-wellness clients, organizing expeditions, and speaking on slow travel means I understand people and places deeply. - Relentless Curiosity & Creativity
Whether it’s a private dinner in a hidden courtyard or a bespoke desert experience, I’m always asking: what makes this trip unforgettable? - Cultural Fluency & Sensitivity
From desert tents to government offices, I’ve worked across continents with tact, respect, and human-first collaboration. - End-to-End Ownership
I don’t just design journeys-I own the entire guest experience, from first inquiry to final farewell.

Production + Operations Expertise
My work with Westward Productions has given me the opportunity to lead complex, culturally sensitive expeditions—such as a winter camel caravan across Mongolia, where I coordinated with local trainers and managed aspects of planning and logistics. I also spearheaded the successful organization of the first record-setting swim across the Caspian Sea, navigating international logistics, securing government support from Azerbaijan’s Coast Guard, and managing high-profile sponsorships and media engagement. These experiences honed my ability to balance big-picture strategy with detailed execution, making me a trusted project lead and client liaison.
In the luxury space, I served as Spa Manager aboard Princess Cruises with Steiner Leisure, where I led high-performing teams and maintained impeccable guest service standards. These roles taught me how to deliver tailored, top-tier experiences in fast-paced, high-pressure environments.
I also speak at corporate and international events on themes such as resilience, slow travel, and cross-cultural connection, bringing narrative depth and real-world insight to audiences around the globe.
