Who are your journeys designed for?

These journeys are crafted for travelers who value meaning as much as beauty. Whether you’re drawn to historic castles and dramatic coastlines or inspired by travel rooted in faith, learning, and service, my work is best suited for those who want to slow down, connect deeply, and travel with intention.

If you believe how you travel matters just as much as where you go—you’re exactly where you should be.

Do you plan custom travel, guided experiences, or both?

Both—beautifully and thoughtfully.

• Some travelers prefer fully customized itineraries, while others value the ease, access, and expertise of guided luxury journeys. I work with exceptional partners and design experiences that feel personal, immersive, and seamless—no matter the format.
• What matters most is choosing the right style of travel for you.

What’s the difference between Castles + Coasts and Travel With Purpose?

• Castles + Coasts journeys celebrate heritage, romance, and place—think historic estates, breathtaking coastlines, and Europe’s most evocative landscapes.
• Travel With Purpose journeys are designed around intention and impact, often weaving together faith, cultural immersion, learning, and meaningful connection.

Different expressions—same philosophy: travel that stays with you long after you return.

When should we begin planning?

Ideally, planning begins 6–12 months in advance, especially for milestone trips, peak seasons, or journeys with limited availability. Purpose-driven and small-group experiences often require even more lead time.

That said—if something meaningful is calling to you, it’s always worth starting the conversation.

What does “luxury” mean in your work?

Luxury isn’t about excess—it’s about care, access, and ease.

It means staying somewhere with a story, enjoying experiences that feel unrushed, and knowing every detail has been thoughtfully handled. It also means having the freedom to be present—to truly experience the journey without managing the logistics.

How involved are you in the planning process?

Very—by design.

I take a hands-on, collaborative approach, guiding you from the first spark of inspiration through the final details. My role is to listen, refine, and curate—so you can relax into the experience knowing everything has been carefully considered.

For travelers who enjoy booking their own arrangements but still want expert guidance and thoughtful structure, I also offer The Travel Design Studio—a bespoke itinerary design service focused on vision, flow, and experience.

How do we begin?

It starts with a conversation.

Share what’s inspiring you- whether it’s a castle stay, a coastal drive, a faith-centered journey, or something you haven’t fully put into words yet. From there, we’ll shape a journey that reflects your values, your story, and your sense of wonder.

Do you work independently, or are you affiliated with a larger agency?

• I work independently and intentionally with a limited number of clients, while being affiliated as an independent contractor with FORA Travel and part of the Virtuoso global travel network.
• This structure allows me to offer highly personal, bespoke service—while also providing access to preferred partners, exclusive amenities, and a strong professional network behind the scenes. It’s truly the best of both worlds.

If one of these journeys speaks to you—or sparks an idea of your own—I’d love to help bring it to life.
