Notably: Provence, Corsica, Languedoc, Loire Valley, Burgundy, Alsace, Alps
France is home. I grew up in Provence, fell in love with Corsica, and have designed and led trips throughout the country. From vineyard bike rides to hidden mountain trails, I love curating experiences that go beyond the expected—even in the most iconic regions.

Notably: Catalonia, Mallorca, Basque Country, Camino de Santiago, Andalusia
Spain has shaped me deeply—I spent my early childhood in Catalonia and lived in Mallorca. I’ve led biking trips across the Basque Coast, wandered Andalusian villages, and built trips that combine movement, flavor, and cultural connection.
Notably: Douro Valley, Algarve
Portugal is where I feel most at ease. After six years of guiding here, I speak the language fluently and know the rhythms of the land—from vineyard roads above the Douro to the golden cliffs of the Algarve.
Notably: Lucerne, Bernese Oberland, Ticino, Valais
Switzerland feels like my second home. I’ve led trips here every summer since 2015 and now design multi-region adventures that span alpine passes, lakeside villages, and storybook towns—with a level of precision the Swiss would be proud of.
Notably: Sardinia, Tuscany, Puglia, Piedmont
Italy feeds every sense. I was Backroads’ regional expert for Sardinia for three years and have guided across Tuscany, Puglia, and Piedmont. Whether you’re after rolling bike routes or unforgettable meals, I know how to deliver both.
Notably: Rio, São Paulo, Bahia, Amazon, Pantanal
Brazil is my winter base and one of my greatest teachers. I’ve lived there, backpacked it (twice), and still own a small place near the coast. I can help you experience Brazil with curiosity, respect, and rhythm.
Notably: Kathmandu Valley, Annapurna, Thimphu, Paro
Nepal and Bhutan are where I go to recharge and reconnect. I return for two months every year and have built strong local partnerships. If you’re drawn to spiritual travel, cultural depth, and Himalayan beauty, I’d love to help you go there with care.
Notably: Crete
Crete is one of those places that surprises you in the best way. I’ve guided and returned on personal trips, combining hikes, beaches, and unforgettable food. It’s soulful, rugged, and full of charm.
Notably: Soča Valley, Julian Alps
Slovenia caught me off guard—in the best way. I designed a biking trip here that longtime guests called “the best yet.” It’s got that alpine magic, minus the crowds, with a warm local heart.

Notably: Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire
Tanzania changed how I think about travel. I guided my family and friends through the country over several months and came away in awe. The wildlife, the culture, the quiet moments—it’s all unforgettable.
I’ve designed and led bespoke adventures across four continents—from vineyard bike rides in France to jungle treks in Brazil, and luxury safaris in Tanzania. After 10 years as a trip leader with Backroads, I founded À la Carte Travel, a boutique travel company where I create every journey from scratch and guide each one myself.
I grew up between Catalonia and Provence, and I’ve spent most of my adult life chasing the feeling of discovery—on a bike, on foot, or tucked into the back of a van somewhere remote. My style of trip design blends local relationships, scenic immersion, physical movement, and a deep respect for each place’s personality.
Whether you want to sip wine after a ride through the Douro Valley, explore the backroads of Switzerland, or plan something ambitious in Bhutan, I’m here to help shape something unforgettable—tailored to your pace, your people, and your story.
Floating through Bahia on a scooter, biking over Swiss passes, or hiking remote valleys in Bhutan—each trip has its own kind of magic. One of my all-time favorites? A biking trip I designed in Slovenia that my long-time guests called “the best one yet.” But honestly, I’m always most excited about the next place just around the bend.
