A considered approach to travel planning
I work with travelers who value judgment and design over volume and speed. Many have traveled widely before and are now seeking something quieter, more grounded, and more meaningful.
My planning process is shaped by regional understanding and careful pacing. Journeys are built around well-chosen bases, allowing time to stay, notice, and move through a place with ease.
Design begins with conversation. Through a series of focused discussions, priorities and preferences emerge, allowing the journey to be shaped carefully and with intention.
I often use heritage hotels—particularly Paradores—as anchors within a journey. These historic buildings create a strong sense of place, grounded in their surroundings and the history they carry.
Food, architecture, and daily rhythms are treated not as add-ons, but as natural entry points into understanding where you are.
This is not high-volume travel planning. It is deliberate, curated, and personal.
Curation & Fees
I work on a curation-based planning model. Clients engage me for travel design, judgment, and thoughtful coordination—rather than for commission-only booking.
This approach allows me to focus on the overall shape of a journey: how places relate to one another, where it makes sense to slow down, and how accommodations, experiences, and pacing work together as a whole. It also allows recommendations to be made independently, without pressure toward volume or speed.
Design begins with conversation. Through a series of focused discussions, priorities and preferences emerge, allowing the journey to be shaped carefully and with intention.
Curation fees reflect the scope and complexity of each project and are discussed transparently at the outset. This ensures that the design work remains intentional, collaborative, and well-considered from the beginning.
This separation allows the design work to remain focused on personalized curation.
