Are you spending countless hours (days!) searching online for that dream trip and booking it, only to find out when you check in that your hotel room is next to an elevator that dings all night? Ugh. Or worse, your reservation has been cancelled. Yikes. Sure, you can try and do it all on your own in which case stop reading right here...
If you're tired and frustrated with the impersonal online booking transactions and overwhelmed with trip search options, you likely just need someone well-traveled and well-connected to travel suppliers to make sense of it all for you.
The Covid-19 pandemic has illustrated now more than ever the value of a trustworthy, experienced travel advisor.

Traveling since I was born
Ever since I was born in India, I've been so very fortunate to have traveled the world. Living in Europe, Asia, and America, I'm fluent in Dutch, German, French, and English. I continue to globetrot, pursuing my true passion to share first-hand experiences with you. I made it to my bucket list adventure destination ~ Machu Picchu in Peru ~ it is one of the most important archeological places in the world and therefore part of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites. For those less interested in hiking the way the Incas (and I) did and would prefer a more leisurely exploration along the Inca Trail and Sacred Valley, train trips are another option. The trek has become heavily regulated ~ one more reason to contact me to help you plan your more complex wonder-of-the-world journeys. :)
Creating trips near and far
How would you like to wake up and see the sun rise in the Sahara Desert? A spectacular sight to behold with a chill in the dry air and the feel of cool desert sand underneath your bare feet. As if that weren't enough for one morning, how about following this up with a thrilling dune buggy ride through the calm desert accompanied by a Formula 1 race car driver behind the steering wheel or next to you when you're in the driver's seat? Such an exhilarating experience! I can help you get there. Or if you prefer to touch the pink sands in Bermuda or walk on the white sandy beaches closer to home, I'm here to help make those travel dreams come true too!
