A Little something to get you started

Destination Guides

These guides are a mixture of personal travels and client trips. All guides include arrival information, travel tips, and what you should budget for hotels per night.

These are destinations I know well. See my guides A-Z below, with more coming soon!

FEATURED GUIDE

The Los Angeles Guide

The first guide written for this website just so happens to be my home. Los Angeles is a city that is more than meets the eye and, after 20+ years of living here, constantly surprises me. If you plan your trip with me, I promise less time in traffic and more time enjoying it.

The Barcelona Guide

Barcelona is one of the oldest cities in Europe and has been an active trade center since before the Roman Empire. It is a city full of art and architecture, from ancient ruins to the fantastical creations of Antoni Gaudí. It is also one of the best food cities in the world, where students of molecular gastronomy have come to shine. I’ve shown clients a way to get to know the city, beyond Las Ramblas and into ancient skinny streets.

The London Guide

London, our time together was short, but as I ran through your streets, I saw medieval buildings standing next to modern skyscrapers, a bustling local scene full of great cocktail bars, and museum exhibits that are the envy of the world.


It is a city in your storybooks come to life. London is where chefs are redefining what British food means.

If you want to visit the city that defines culture

The Los Angeles Guide

You can see the Hollywood postcard version, or go deeper and find a city that’s surprisingly layered, diverse, and workable on any budget. I’ve lived here for over twenty years, and this city still surprises me. That’s exactly what I bring to clients: a way into the Los Angeles that doesn’t show up on a screen.

The Minneapolis Guide

I lived in Minneapolis on and off for fifteen years. I love this art- and nature-filled city that really knows how to throw a good festival.

In my opinion, it is flying too far under the radar. Get there before others find out.
