Dear Atlas was born from a shared love of travel and a desire to design experiences that go deeper than the typical vacation. What started as daydreams between two travel-obsessed friends quickly became a trusted resource for curious, comfort-loving explorers.
We’re passionate travelers who’ve traded office life for hands-on research—think slow trains through Vietnam, tapas crawls in Andalusia, and long chats with local guides. Our personal experiences shape every itinerary we create, so you get more than highlights—you get the soul of a place.
Dear Atlas is for those who crave culturally rich, off-the-beaten-path adventures with expert support behind the scenes. If that sounds like you, you're in the right place.
Where I’m From:
Born and raised in Pennsylvania, I still live in my hometown—but I head abroad as often as I can (and stay a little too long when I do).
My Travel Philosophy:
The best trips strike a balance between discovery and ease. I specialize in curating European itineraries that blend cultural depth, local gems, and authentic dining—always with the right amount of comfort and breathing room. From multi-generational getaways to once-in-a-lifetime escapes, I design travel that feels effortless, immersive, and unforgettable. I also consult on other destinations worldwide—just ask!
Favorite Trip:
A quick stop in Lisbon, Portugal left me wanting so much more. The ornate buildings, cobbled hills, kind people, and incredible food draw you in and invite you to live like a local. Bonus: Portugal is one of Europe’s most affordable gems.
Favorite Meal:
Spectrum, Amsterdam. This 2-Michelin Star spot in the city’s historic canal district is more than a restaurant—it’s a masterclass in fine dining. Every course is a surprise, every bite a work of art.
Bucket List Trips:
Hiking the Inka Trail, cruising the Galápagos, and an expedition to Antarctica.
Let’s Plan Your Trip:
Whether you're dreaming of a culture-rich journey through Europe or want guidance planning something farther afield, I’d love to help craft a trip that’s uniquely yours.
Where I’m From:
Born in South Florida, I’ve called Maryland, DC, Virginia, NYC, and now Pennsylvania home. Each chapter deepened my love for exploring new places and cultures—whether across town or across the world.
My Travel Philosophy:
Travel should immerse you. I specialize in journeys across Asia, crafting itineraries that blend iconic highlights with off-the-beaten-path experiences and meaningful cultural connections. From temple-stays in Japan to night markets in Vietnam, I help travelers uncover the kind of magic that stays with you long after you’re home.
Favorite Trip:
After dreaming of Japan for over a decade, the real experience was even more incredible than I imagined. The deep-rooted traditions, mind-blowing food, vibrant cities, and kind people made it a destination I’ll keep returning to.
Favorite Meal:
4 Leoni in Florence, Italy. You just can’t beat fresh, homemade Italian food—especially when it feels both special and surprisingly affordable.
Bucket List Trips:
An African safari and trekking through Patagonia.
Let’s Plan Your Trip:
Whether you're craving a deep-dive into Asia or dreaming of a relaxed escape somewhere new, I’d love to help bring your ideal journey to life—curated, effortless, and entirely you.
