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.

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.
