My Mission

And I mean that in a couple of ways! For one, I feel like I’m racing to spend as much time with my children before they’re all grown up, when they have jobs, families, and lives of their own—if you’re a parent, then you know how “blink-and-you’ll-miss-it” fast the years go by. Travel gives us that dedicated time together.

Plus, travel has a unique ability to slow down time. At home, our pace of family life is oh-so hectic—school runs, rushed dinners, chores, grocery shopping, school projects, and all the hours spent ferrying the kids to sports and activities. We’re together, yes, but we don’t feel connected. 

But on a trip—especially a thoughtfully designed, well-paced one—we let go of all our day-to-day distractions and simply savor our time as a family. Slow mornings, leisurely dinners, no email “pings” or work calls. Just us, together. It’s such a gift. 

If you, too, want to make the most of your most precious asset—your time—then welcome. You’re in exactly the right place. I’ll work with you to craft a custom vacation that turns magical moments into memories that last forever. Show your children the world, slow down, and savor the gift of time well spent together. 

Travel is the best way to beat the race against time. 

As I’ve traveled more with my own family, I’ve also realized: 

I’m a U.K.-born American-Indian mom to three kids, who now lives in beautiful Barcelona, Spain. My journey to expat life—and to professional travel planning—involved lots of road trips to National Parks growing up, journeys to visit family in India, and even a stint living in the Middle East.

In other words: travel has been a part of my life always. Now, my husband and I prioritize sharing our travel adventures with our children. Whether we’re whipping up lemon-ricotta ravioli in Milan or exploring the buzzing streets of Bangkok, I’ve witnessed how travel has made my children more globally aware, more resilient, and far more patient (you have to have a LOT of patience to get through a customs line!).
