Boutique Travel Curator
Every journey begins at the table.
From local cafés and family-run kitchens to renowned restaurants and iconic distilleries, I curate travel experiences that reveal culture through food, drink, and the traditions that shape a place - so you can savor the story without the stress.
Because rest shouldn’t feel like work.
The Heart of Hearth & Compass
The Hearth
What is it?
-
Where we gather and share stories.
-
Where we rest, recharge, and reconnect.
-
Where we eat, drink, and be merry.
Memories are made and shared around the hearth.
For me, this means we eat, drink, and be merry with friends and family.
But it’s far more than just eating and drinking, isn’t it?
There’s always the element of atmosphere, environment, and vibe of where you are. All these things, combined with well crafted food, creates the core memory that we’ll carry with us always.
Do you also enjoy searching for the best places to eat when on vacation? You laugh, but it’s a lot more common than you might think!
A culture or place is its food; a delicious meal full of care and flavors brings us closer to understanding where we are and where we are traveling. Food and beverage can tell you so much about a culture. Throughout history we have woven our environment, values, and hearts into the food we prepare.
So if you want to know more about a culture, about the place you are going to visit next, start with the local eateries and cafés.
You need to rest and recharge so you can keep up with life’s next adventure. Refuel by enjoying their passion of crafting unique culinary experiences.
Let the locals share that with you. Absorb their culture through their culinary craft.
The Compass
What is it?
-
Your navigational guidance tool.
-
Your token to get out and explore.
-
Your permission to journey.
We have one world to explore and one life with which to enjoy it.
Don’t you also want to jump in a plane, a train, or an automobile and GO somewhere?
Sometimes it's just to enjoy the experience of traveling, of getting out there.
Sometimes it’s because we want to enjoy that “someplace else" we’ve been dreaming of.
Or, sometimes it’s just to enjoy the journey itself.
Your motivation is your compass. What moves you is what guides your next adventure. You work hard, and you should rest well.
When it comes time for you to enjoy your well-earned rest, I’m here to work for you.
Come tell me what motivates you, where your compass is pointing, and what drives you to create those core memories that you’ll want to share around the hearth with your family and friends.
I will craft your journey - I will give you that nudge out the door to start your journey.
For journeys built around markets, cafés, distilleries, and long days exploring on foot, I’ve shared how I think about what to pack and wear so comfort and intention carry through the experience.
This is what I do. This is who I am.
I crave the new experiences and excitement in where we’ll be ‘hearthing’ next.
Yes, there will be activities to enjoy - like visiting a monument, going on a hike, swimming with the local aquatic life, ziplining through the trees, or diving into history through a museum or castle - but there also must be good food and beverages along the way.
I will lay out the path to help you create those core memories you’ll share around the Hearth, and be the guide that helps navigate your motivational Compass.
Food & Drink–Focused Travel Experiences
I design food- and beverage-forward journeys for world travelers who believe the best way to experience a place is through its cuisine, cafés, and local traditions.
Scotland is my flagship specialty, with curated food and drink journeys across the Highlands and beyond - highlighting whisky tastings, distillery visits, coffee and tea cafés, and food-forward culinary experiences rooted in place and culture.
Beyond Scotland, I also plan custom journeys to Italy, Switzerland, and Japan, thoughtfully designed around regional food traditions, meaningful experiences, and seamless logistics.
Whether your compass points toward a luxury river cruise, a family escape, or a quiet retreat for two, I’ll be your partner in travel planning—so you can savor the journey, not the stress.
