About me 

I grew up in America (Oregon) and have spent more than half my life now in Provence.  After teaching English for 10 years, I launched my dream business; a U.S. based specialty travel company – giving the best of my adopted home Provence, where I reside, to travelers around the world wanting to get to know the Provencal lifestyle like a local.

Whether it be a custom-made itinerary, a wellness retreat or a family get-away, my philosophy is that travel is the key to unlocking our souls. My goal as a travel professional is to help you use your vacation time to unwind, disconnect from the superfluous and reconnect with simple pleasures.

Along the way you will discover the Provencal way of life, ponder the legends and learn the fascinating historical anecdotes.

Join me on a Provencal adventure to engage, immerse, discover, explore, and reconnect with what is dear to you.
