Most people come to me with one of these four trips in mind. Choose the one that sounds like you and I’ll take it from there.

I was a guide in Lisbon before I planned trips.

For six years I walked visitors up through Alfama most mornings, and learned Portuguese, then Italian, from the people who fed us lunch.

I still go back every spring to sleep in the hotels and eat at the tables before I send anyone there. Today I plan from Denver for couples and families who want the details handled and the days left open.

One person plans your trip, books it, and answers the phone until you’re home.

Notes from travelers

“She knew which ferry to skip and which table to book. We never once looked at a map.”

Hannah and Leo
Honeymoon on the Amalfi Coast, May 2025

A whitewashed lane on a Greek island

“Our kids still talk about the cove she found on Naxos. Shallow water, one taverna, nobody else.”

“Twelve days in Portugal and every hotel was better than its photos. She even booked our train seats facing forward.”

How far ahead should I reach out?

Do you book flights?

What if something goes wrong while I’m away?

Do you only plan Italy, Portugal and Greece?
