About

I indulge couples, families, singles and groups (of all kinds!) with the best local arts, culture, history and cuisine in any destination for a well-traveled, inspired life filled with insightful discoveries and fantastic memories. Once you experience the personal attention, value, benefits and VIP perks of working with a travel advisor, you'll never go back to DIY. As world events have proven time and time again, hiring a travel advisor is the best first decision you make when planning a trip. I work for you until you return home and advocate for your interests all along the way. This includes knowing which tour operators and travel suppliers are the most reputable, reliable and responsive. I have preferred relationships with the best of the best out there via membership with host agency Gifted Travel Network, which offers access to Virtuoso, the most respected (and invite-only) luxury travel consortia in the world. But it doesn't stop there! I also have valuable insight into the world of tour operators. For five years prior to Nine Muses Travel, I designed over 50 bespoke group itineraries and led product design and operations working for two major luxury tour operators. I started my business with a global network of professional contacts in place and years of experience working with the world's top travel suppliers. Surprisingly, almost two decades as an arts manager prepared me well for a career as a travel advisor! In Artist Services at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), I worked with over 100 world-renowned performing arts companies before managing rentals at The New 42nd Street Studios for hundreds of productions in rehearsal, often seeing shows go from workshop to Broadway stage. These high-profile positions required a sophisticated level of hospitality and cultural awareness as well as mastery of scheduling, contracts, budgeting and complex logistics – a terrific skill set for a future travel entrepreneur!
