Before I became a travel advisor, I spent years in the world of hospitality — including time at Michelin-starred restaurants, where the standard was never "good enough." It was always exceptional. That standard never left me.
When I launched Bon Vivant Travel Co., I wasn't just starting a business. I was channeling everything I believed about the power of a truly well-crafted experience. Because whether it's a seven-course tasting menu or a three week trip through the Italy — the details are everything. The welcome drink waiting in your room. The table with the view. The afternoon that had nothing planned but turned into the highlight of the trip.
A few things I believe about travel:
•The best itinerary leaves room for the unexpected.
•Luxury isn't about spending the most — it's about getting the most out of an experience.
•A good trip can change how you see the world. A great one can change how you see yourself.
•You should never have to stress about a trip you're paying for.
I'm equal parts planner and adventurer. I've eaten my way through new cities, gotten gloriously lost, and learned that the best travel stories rarely start with "everything went exactly as planned." I bring all of that — the expertise, the spontaneity, and the genuine love for this work — to every trip I design.
When I'm not planning someone else's perfect trip, I'm probably researching my next one, convincing my teenager to hang out with me, cuddling my 6 year old rescue dog and binging BRAVO!
