Why Work With Us

There are more ways than ever to plan and book travel. What we offer is something harder to find: firsthand knowledge, experienced judgment, creative thinking, exceptional attention to detail and relationships around the world.

We Know the Places We Recommend

Our recommendations are grounded in firsthand experience. Michele has traveled to nearly 100 countries and spends almost half the year traveling, often spending weeks in a single destination. We visit hotels, experience destinations and continually expand our knowledge so we can recommend what is right for you—not simply what's popular or highly rated.

We Design Trips, Not Just Book Them

Some of our favorite work happens before anything is booked. We think strategically and creatively about where to go, what to combine, how much time to spend in each place and how the journey should flow. Sometimes the best advice is what to leave out.

Details Matter

Great trips have a lot of moving pieces. We manage those details carefully, anticipate potential issues and remain highly responsive throughout the planning process and while our clients are traveling. You have a team that knows your trip and is accessible when you need us.

Relationships Matter, Too

Through our affiliation with Travel Experts and membership in Virtuoso, we have preferred relationships with many of the world's leading luxury hotels, resorts, cruise lines and travel companies.

Those relationships go beyond amenities. They can mean recognition as a valued guest, direct relationships with hotel management, preferred benefits and having someone to call when something needs special attention.

And some of our most valuable relationships aren't represented by a logo. They are with independent hotels, safari camps, destination specialists, guides and local experts around the world whom we know and trust to take exceptional care of our clients.

It's Personal

We get to know our clients—how they like to travel, what they value, what they don't care about and where they prefer to spend their money. Many of our clients work with us trip after trip, which allows us to know them better with every journey we plan.
