I'm happiest when I'm on a trip, packing for a trip, or planning a trip—in that order.

I believe the planning process is part of the adventure, and I love creating itineraries that blend iconic sights with authentic local experiences. That passion inspired Go Confidently Curated Journeys—helping travelers experience more while worrying less.

My Travel Style

History has always been one of my greatest passions, so I’m naturally drawn to ancient ruins, castles, cemeteries, and battlefields. But I’m equally obsessed with charming villages, breathtaking scenery, incredible local food, and authentic experiences. I also believe every trip should include something unforgettable.

Whether it's learning to make fresh pasta in Tuscany, painting traditional Portuguese azulejo tiles in Lisbon, gliding down the streets of Funchal in a traditional wicker toboggan, or discovering a hidden village that never makes the guidebooks, I believe the best journeys balance thoughtful planning with the freedom to embrace the unexpected.

Experience Behind Every Journey

I've spent 16 years living in Hawaiʻi and have worked in luxury resorts across the country. But my background in luxury hospitality doesn't mean I only create luxury trips—it means I pay attention to the details that can make a trip exceptional.

As co-founder of Exclusive Villa Retreats, a luxury vacation company in Hawaiʻi, and manager of the Luxury Property Management division of BD Properties Hawaii, I've learned to anticipate potential issues before they arise, recognize what travelers may not think to ask about, and think through how all the pieces of a journey come together.

I'm also a Fora Travel Advisor, giving me access to a global network of travel professionals, industry connections, and additional resources. Combined with decades of experience planning travel—from Bora Bora and Hawaiʻi to Costa Rica, Israel, Europe and beyond—this gives me another layer of support when creating and refining your journey.

What You Can Expect

Whether you need help shaping an entire journey or simply want thoughtful guidance along the way, I'll provide personalized recommendations, careful research, and practical details to help you travel with confidence.

Because the best journeys aren't measured by how many places you visit—they're measured by the memories you bring home.

Let’s get packing!
