My passion for travel has led me from Norway’s fjords to Australia’s shores and the vineyards along the Rhône. Specializing in river cruises, small ship voyages, immersive tours, and fully independent travel, I’m here to help you craft your journey — whether it’s sailing iconic rivers, joining a small group, or exploring independently with a custom itinerary.
River Cruise Focused
I specialize in river cruising because I truly love it — along with the rich experiences you can add before and after in places like Paris, Prague, or the South of France. And when your travels call for small ship voyages, immersive tours, or a custom independent itinerary, I’ll guide you through the options so it all feels clear and exciting.
Personalized Planning
No two travellers are alike. I take the time to get to know you and match you with the cruise, tour, or independent journey that best suits your travel style and pace.

Expect real conversations, thoughtful service, and someone who genuinely cares that you have an amazing experience.
Friendly, Low-Stress Vibes
Travel planning should feel fun — not overwhelming. I bring calm, creativity, and a sense of joy to the process from start to finish.
