LUXURY AND BUCKET-LIST TRAVEL
The Trips You’ll Talk About For Years.
I arrived in Monaco by helicopter, found a pool inside a painted Moroccan tent at the edge of the Sahara, and watched the Dolomites turn gold from a heated pool that hangs crystal spheres from its ceiling. These are the trips I design for travelers who are ready to stop waiting.
Monaco
The helicopter transfer from Nice takes seven minutes. You land on a pad overlooking the Mediterranean and step into a principality that rewards the traveler who knows where to look. Monaco is easy to dismiss as a place for other people. It is not. I can show you the parts that make it worth the trip.
Morocco
Morocco rewards the traveler who stays curious. I have traveled it from Casablanca to the edge of the Sahara, from Riad Kniza in Marrakech to riads in Fes and the south that most visitors never find. There is a pool in the desert, inside a traditional painted tent, lit by Moorish lanterns. A dinner in Ouarzazate where John Malkovich happened to be at the table next to mine. Morocco does not reveal itself to anyone in a hurry. A week here, done right, is one of the most layered experiences in travel.
The Dolomites
The heated pool at Hotel Arkadia hangs hundreds of crystal spheres from an exposed timber ceiling. Through floor-to-ceiling glass, the Dolomites rise at golden hour while you are in the water. It is not a treatment or an excursion. It is simply a place to be still while one of the most dramatic mountain landscapes in the world performs outside the window. The Dolomites are among the most visually stunning places in Europe and among the most underused by American travelers.
Rajasthan, India
The boat to the Taj Lake Palace leaves in the dark and arrives at a palace glowing white on the water. Rajasthan holds more than most travelers reach. There are palaces in Udaipur, Jaipur, and Jodhpur that have been receiving guests for centuries, each with its own character. India requires good planning and rewards it completely. I know the difference between a good India itinerary and a great one.
Cabo San Lucas
Not all of Cabo looks the same. Zadun, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, sits on a private stretch of beach removed from the main strip. It is small by design, with private casitas, plunge pools that look out over the Sierra de la Laguna mountains, and service that knows your name before you arrive. At sunset, the water turns the color of the sky. I have been here and the difference is felt within an hour of arriving. There is a category of resort that knows exactly what it is doing. This is one of them.
Charity went above and beyond for our honeymoon. We literally went around the world, and she thought of everything and handled all the millions of details. We experienced the culture and beauty of Dubai, Singapore, and the Maldives, each without a hitch.

These experiences do not happen by accident. They happen because someone who has been there designed the details before you arrived. I have spent ten years and sixty-three countries learning the difference between a beautiful itinerary and one that stays with you for the rest of your life. The helicopter, the tent in the Sahara, the pool in the Dolomites. These are not things you find on a travel site. They are things you design with someone who has done it.
Every trip I design starts with a conversation about what you actually want. Not what the brochure says. Not what everyone else is doing. The trip that fits your life, your pace, and what you have been waiting to do. If you are ready to stop saying someday, let’s start talkin
I also design culinary and wine journeys for travelers guided by food and wine.
