“TOURISTS DON’T KNOW WHERE THEY’VE BEEN. TRAVELERS DON’T KNOW WHERE THEY’RE GOING.” – Paul Theroux

My clients are highly engaged, often time-scarce individuals who value excellent service, depth of knowledge, discretion, and unique, memorable experiences. They’re careful about spending where it matters and understand that luxury for luxury’s sake can insulate you from some of travel’s best experiences. They seek rare, purposeful, often off-radar journeys that they’ll treasure while contributing to the host communities and environment.

A typical daily spend starts between $500 – $2,000 per person,
depending on your destination.

My clients appreciate the fine things in life but know that travel’s most rewarding aspects have little to do with material things. They love authentic interactions with locals. They might favor getting beneath the skin of a place through its colorful, flavorful street food over Michelin-star dining, or prefer cool, quirky boutique hotels and high-end tents to flashy resorts. I call it ‘adventure by day, luxury by night.’
