Let's Start Your Journey

Hi, I'm Carolyn.

I believe your vacation should actually feel like one - not another project to manage.

As your luxury travel advisor, I'm here to ensure every journey delivers exactly what you desired, completely effortlessly. Think of me as your personal curator, your cultural interpreter, and your detail-obsessed advocate, all in one.

For years, I've orchestrated luxury experiences for Seattle's most discerning families, earning a reputation for impeccable service. That means anticipating your needs before they arise, handling every detail seamlessly, and ensuring your investment delivers exactly what you envisioned - and often, much more.

My clients tell me the same thing, again and again: "You took what we were imagining, and made it even more incredible." Whether that's finding the perfect balance between adventure and relaxation in Costa Rica, or knowing exactly which room to request at the Four Seasons Maui to live out your White Lotus dreams (it's The Maile Suite, in case you're wondering), I leverage my expertise to tailor every trip to you.

Travel Planning that Honors What Matters to You

I met my husband in college, and we both had dreams of living abroad. Our first big adventure? Moving to West Africa together as Peace Corps Volunteers. Since then, we've lived in — not just visited — nine countries across four continents.

These experiences taught me something crucial: travel reveals what matters most to us. The art lover needs those early morning museum entries. The foodie requires chef-led tours of local markets. And the busy parent deserves a kids' club that actually engages children. Your preferences aren't just logistics, they're reflections of your values.

Having the right travel planner should feel like a weight off your shoulders. You should be excited about your trip, not stressed about the details. That's where I come in — handling everything with the same care you'd give it yourself, if you had unlimited time and insider connections. Whether you're dreaming of French castles, Thai street food, or simply the perfect beach chair with a view, I handle every detail so you can focus on what matters: being present with the people you love.
