Curated travel for the curious.

Travel, like art, is a way of looking.

Last spring, I gathered a small group of women in Paris to explore the city through the eyes of an art historian. Between museum halls and quiet cafés, we learned how presence transforms experience—how to see, not just look. This moment at Le Girafe, with the Eiffel Tower behind us, reminds me why I do what I do: to create spaces where wonder feels possible again.

Where we're going next

A philosophy of presence, reflection, and belonging.

I plan trips the way I study paintings—slowly, curiously, and with attention to what’s often overlooked. My background in art history has taught me that travel, like art, is a form of looking. Each journey is a chance to notice the interplay between beauty and being, between what we see and how it shapes us.

When I design experiences, I’m thinking about presence. I want others to feel what I felt standing before Vigée Le Brun’s Self-Portrait with Her Daughter or walking beside Bernini’s fountain—that art and life are porous. My work sits somewhere between curator, historian, and storyteller. I gather details, stories, and sensory fragments, arranging them into journeys that are part pilgrimage and part conversation.

Ultimately, I believe that wonder isn’t rare. It’s already waiting—in the flicker of a candlelit dinner, the hush of a museum hall, or the moment the Eiffel Tower begins to sparkle—if we only slow down enough to see.
