“As you move through this life and this world…you leave marks behind.  And in return, life – and travel – leave marks on you.” – Anthony Bourdain

A summer drive through sunflower fields in Tuscany, an Alsatian wine tasting along the Route des Vins, 3 Michelin-star dining with breathtaking views of Rome, the Eternal City, truffle hunting in Siena, a gondola ride through the canals of Venice, hiking the scenic Tatra Mountains to Morskie Oko in Zakopane, Poland – these are just a few of the unforgettable experiences that left a mark on me.

Allow my expertise with European travel and dining to create lasting memories for you.

What sparked my interest in luxury travel?

Born and raised in Europe, I spent my childhood in the royal city of Krakow, Poland, a city steeped in the old-world charm of Europe. Today, I’m happy to share that Krakow is on Travel + Leisure‘s top 10 list of cities to visit. As an adult, I developed a deep appreciation for great food, fine wine and hospitality, while spending over a decade working in some of Chicago’s finest Michelin-rated and James Beard award-winning restaurants.  A lifetime of these experiences make me the perfect advisor for planning your next vacation to Poland or culinary adventure to Italy, Austria or Switzerland. Looking for a quick getaway closer to home? Let me help you plan a food and wine getaway to California’s wine country, a romantic weekend getaway in New York City or a sunny escape to southern Florida.

When I am not planning your next fabulous vacation, I enjoy cooking/baking at home, exploring all the world-renowned cuisine that Chicago has to offer and traveling the world with my husband.
