Planned by someone who has been there
I have explored more than 140 countries and all seven continents, from the Antarctic Peninsula to the Galapagos and the high valleys of Bhutan. That firsthand knowledge is what I bring to your trip: which suite has the better view, which week the light is softest, which guide makes a place come alive.
Every journey I plan begins with you: how you like to travel, what you want to feel, and what you would rather never think about. Before you leave, I shape every detail and prepare you with exactly what you need to know. While you travel, I am watching over your plans and a message away, ready to smooth any change. And when you return, I want to hear the stories, and we start dreaming about where you will go next.

Luxury Travel Services
LUXURY CRUISING
Sailing the world's great rivers and seas on a small luxury ship is one of the most relaxed ways to see new places. We focus on small, service-minded ships that can sail right into the heart of remote, lesser-traveled destinations.
SAFARIs
Imagine sitting atop your private safari jeep, looking across the African Savannah. The grasslands speckled with zebras, elephants, giraffes, and other wildlife that you've only seen on TV or online. Then enjoy a sundowner and review your own photographs of the Big 5.
EXPEDITIONS
Stand on the ice in Antarctica, watch walrus in the Arctic, swim with sea lions in the Galapagos. I have sailed all three by expedition ship, and I will match you with the right ship, suite and season. (My first expeditions were SCUBA trips I led on four continents.)

As the owner of Ethos Luxury Travel, I know that you are the kind of person who wants to experience the world, not just see it. The problem is, the myriad of details involved in planning your own vacation can leave you feeling frustrated and stressed.
I believe travel should feel effortless from our first conversation until you are home again. That is why I stay close to every detail: the transfer that is waiting, the table that is booked, the quiet change made before you ever notice a problem.
As a world explorer myself, having visited more than 140 countries on all seven continents, I know what makes a trip run smoothly. When you're heading somewhere new, an advisor with firsthand experience and trusted partners on the ground means you're looked after from the first conversation to the flight home.
When you are ready to explore the world rather than just see it, start with a short inquiry and I will be in touch personally.
