The Traveler’s Architect

Less influencer, more insider.

Where the locals go.

Let me build you something human. A trip designed around how you need it to feel, whether that’s the girls’ reunion you’ve been putting off for years or a week away when you have all of the budget and none of the time. I do the research, then I tell you what I’d book.

I normally charge a design fee. On your first trip with me, I waive it.

Hotels and villas cost you nothing. Half the fee is due when we start, half when you get the first copy of your trip presentation. Fees are separate from the cost of the trip. Bookings are made through Fora Travel, which is how the upgrades and credits happen.

Tell me about the trip


Things people often ask.

If yours isn’t here, ask me on the first call.

What if you haven’t been where I want to go?

Then I’ll phone a Fora friend. I know a lot of places well, and I’m part of a community of advisors with their own specialties. If your trip needs knowledge I don’t have, I’ll work with someone who does, or introduce you if they’re the better fit. I’ll be upfront about it.

Do I have to pay you?

Not for a hotel or villa. You pay nothing and the perks come with it. Trips I design have a fee, and I waive it on your first trip with me. After that it’s half when we start and half when you get the first copy of your trip presentation.

What do the Fora perks get me?

Usually early check-in and a room upgrade when they have one, often with a resort or dining credit. Hotels know Fora, so at many of them you’re flagged as a VIP guest before you arrive. It varies by property, and we’ll go through what’s on the table when we design the trip.

Will you send me options to pick from?

A few, not ten. Each one comes with the reason I picked it, and I’ll tell you which one I’d book.

Do you do group trips?

Yes, and they’ve become most of what I do. People want to spend time together, and a house with a chef is the easiest way to make that happen. I’ve planned twenty people in one villa for four days, with everything settled before anyone lands.

Is Teddi real?

Extremely. She flies Delta and insists on the window. She vets the pet-friendly places personally, and there’s a difference between pet-friendly and pet-tolerant. If you travel with a dog, I have a list.
