Whether you’re looking for culinary delights, adventure, cultural discoveries, or pure leisure, Cathy’s thoughtful planning and preparation will make for a seamless and enjoyable trip to match your unique interests.

Cathy first went abroad at age eight on a family trip to Israel and the UK. In the decades since, she has explored many countries, with a special love for Italy and France where she has lived, studied, and traveled extensively. Her love of Western European culture led to an undergraduate degree in art history, French and Italian (she is fluent in both languages), a graduate degree in European studies, and international work in the private and non-profit sectors. With professional and volunteer experience at several arts organizations Cathy appreciates the importance of personalized stewardship and brings a special touch to curated itineraries for small affinity groups and individual travelers.

Cathy grew up in Maine, and has lived in Washington, DC, Aspen, San Francisco and Santa Fe, enjoying the gifts of those diverse locales. She and her husband now call Chicago home.

Rachel started her career working behind-the-scenes bringing Broadway shows to life. Such high-pressure experiences taught her to manage complex and flawless productions, skills she now applies to her clients’ luxury travels and their wow-factor moments.

A pivotal trip to Japan inspired Rachel to make travel her life's work. Amazed by the history, culture, and natural beauty, it opened her eyes to how travel can be transformational. With more than 5 years of experience, she’s worked as a Travel Advisor planning customized vacations for clients, as well as in Tour Operation, developing local experiences with partners in New York City.

What is she known for? Making travel effortless and unforgettable, handling every detail, and delighting clients! Whether an African safari, European getaway, or South Pacific retreat, she taps into her insider network to curate exclusive experiences.

Outside of travel, Rachel loves new theatrical works, a good book, and exploring NYC restaurants (life goal: try every slice of pizza sold in Manhattan). You may also find her chasing after her two small daughters or enjoying a seasonal cocktail with her husband.

Rachel looks forward to making your next travel dreams come true!

Growing up in a family of avid travelers, Cathy has always made sure her calendar is booked with plans for her next adventure. These trips inevitably consist of great experiences as well. Whether learning how to make paella in Barcelona, driving mini motorboats in St. Maarten, or cuddling a koala in Sydney ...

Cathy has spent the last fourteen years as a recruiter for an online virtual tour platform. Throughout this time, she has developed and refined her online search and network development skills, which have become a transferable and valuable skillset for travel exploration, access, and planning. She has lived in Cincinnati for most of her life and is a foodie who loves to cook, especially for her husband Brian, son Alex and daughter Madeline. If Cathy were to design her ideal vacation, it would include a beautiful beach, a special dinner spot, a spectacular view, with family & friends together to enjoy it all. With her passion for travel, she is energized to help others find their special place, and create memorable experiences.
