Most creative trip planned

Crafting a 14-day Italian journey that cruised from Rome to Capri, the Amalfi Coast, ending in Sicily, curating the country’s most inspiring destinations into an unforgettable adventure and culminating in a full day experience recreating iconic scenes from The Godfather film, allowing the client to retrace Michael Corleone’s journey throughout Sicily.

Number one unforgettable travel experience?

Sailing around the Grenadines islands in the Caribbean, getting to snorkel with stingrays, sea turtles, and barracuda, as well as a guided hike on Mount Royal in Canouan, discovering the history and future of the islands.

Top of your travel bucket list?

I am fascinated by Polynesian culture. Being able to observe the distinct cultures, traditions and lifestyle of local communities in the Solomon Islands, French Polynesia and Vanuatu would interest me greatly. A personal dream is to receive a hands-on education on their navigational techniques, such as using a star compass and reading ocean swells, as we complete an ocean passage without the use of modern way-finding instruments.

Who is your ultimate travel partner?

Teddy Roosevelt would be a fantastic companion and guide for exploring the most remote destinations. His track record speaks for itself, and his love of adventure would no doubt lead to some fascinating stories.
