Welcome to your shortcut to a seamless travel journey that changes your perspective. As your travel advisor, I will craft a thorough itinerary for you, where every moment flows effortlessly into the next. 
​
Here’s what you can expect on your Grand Explorations escape:
Personalized to Your Preferences
Big-name hotel with lots of luxurious amenities—or boutique BnB where the host greets you by name? Indulgent overwater bungalow with a private plunge pool—or quaint country cottage with a cozy fireplace?
​
I take a deeply personal approach to planning your vacation. Every detail—from your accommodations to tours, trip pacing to dining recommendations—will be tailored to your particular travel tastes. 
Centered Around Your Passions
Discovery is not a one-size-fits-all endeavor (or at least, it shouldn’t be!). Let’s ditch the crowded tour buses and tailor your escape to what lights you up. 
Foodies can roll sushi with a chef in Tokyo. Wine lovers can taste vintage rubies in the iconic port houses of Porto. History buffs can tour the moving WWII battlefields of Normany. I can even take you on-location, to the filming sites of your favorite shows and movies—like Outlander in Scotland, Game of Thrones in Northern Ireland, or The Lord of the Rings in New Zealand. Let’s make your next vacation all about you; your passions will lead the way.
Go Deeper Than You’ve Ever Imagined
I’ve forged exclusive industry relationships with the best local guides and boutique tour operators around the world—so you get to go way beyond the typical tourist experience. You’ll get a “behind the scenes” look at your destination’s must-see sights, with private tours, after-hours access, and skip-the-line admittance. 

Then, you’ll dive even deeper on off-the-beaten-path excursions that lead to the hidden gems most other tourists miss. Experience the authentic side of your destination, where you rub elbows and swap stories with the locals. Don’t be surprised if this becomes the most memorable part of your trip!
