Meet Your Advisor

The Person Behind the Itineraries

Fifteen years, fifty-plus countries, and one simple belief: the best trips are designed around you — not around a brochure.

My Story

I didn't stumble into travel — I built my life around it. Over the past 15 years I've explored more than 50 countries, from the temples of Luxor to the fjords of Patagonia, always chasing the moments no guidebook can script.

Along the way I discovered that planning a great trip is its own craft. It's knowing which cruise line matches your pace, which safari camp puts you closest to the migration, and which room in Santorini is worth the splurge — and which is simply expensive.

That's what 1201Travel is: a boutique advisory practice where every itinerary is designed by me, personally, around the way you travel. No call centers, no cookie-cutter packages — just honest advice, insider access, and journeys that feel unmistakably yours.
