From the ER to Global Exploration My love for travel began in Paris at 15 years old and has led me from the vineyards of France to the temples of Thailand. However, it is my background as an ER nurse that truly informs my work. I notice the timing and pacing others miss, handling the "what-ifs" of travel with calm and discretion so my clients can remain fully present.

Rooted in Connection Travel is my personal connector. I met my Dutch husband on a surf trip in the Dominican Republic, and we now bridge our time between family in the Netherlands and our home in Westport, Connecticut. This perspective guides how I create meaningful connections for my clients between partners, families, and cultures.
