"I can honestly say I have never felt more passionate than in my role at Luxury Gold. Italy is my favorite destination because we offer the very best of what the country has to offer.
Whether it's the rich art and architecture of its cities, the charming canals of Venice, the rolling hills of Tuscany, the hilltop towns of Umbria, the island of Capri, or the spectacular coastlines of the Cinque Terre, we cover them all!
My favorite experience is dining at the Michelin-starred Le Monzù restaurant in Capri. While all of Italy is a gastronomical delight, I particularly love the scenery, delicate flavors, and presentation of the dishes here. The service is attentive, and the chef always takes excellent care of our guests, which to me, is the hallmark of an exceptional restaurant.
At Luxury Gold we pay meticulous attention to detail, tailoring each trip to your tastes and preferences. Our Travel Concierges make bookings at museums and restaurants, add little stops along the way, and surprise you with special moments. This is is the Luxury Gold way, and what makes our journeys The New Golden Age of Travel."

"I am thrilled to be a part of this team, and I can confidently say that this is the most dynamic team and product I have been a part of.
My role goes beyond creating experiences for our guests; I am dedicated to crafting magical moments. Moments that will live in their hearts long after their journey has ended, just as the first time I saw the Canadian Rockies, which remains etched in mine.
One of my favorite experiences is meeting Matricia of Warrior Women in Jasper. Matricia is a powerful matriarch and a beautiful spirit, making it an honor to learn about First Nations culture through her.
It's not just the storytelling and the journey it takes you on, but also the location that makes this experience truly special. Having a piece of the Canadian Rockies to yourself is a rare privilege, and this experience provides just that. Set on the serene, lakeside grounds of Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge, it offers a quiet and tranquil escape from the typical crowds in the Canadian Rockies."

"At Luxury Gold, we pride ourselves on curating such exclusive and immersive experiences, ensuring that every moment is filled with luxury, culture, and unforgettable memories.
Japan, in particular, holds a special place in my heart. It offers a perfect blend of vibrant cities and traditional beauty, epitomized by the stunning Oirase Gorge. Among the most cherished experiences is an exclusive dining event in the heart of Kyoto. Guests enjoy a traditional Kyo-Kaiseki lunch, beautifully presented and enhanced by a private performance from a Maiko, an apprentice Geisha. This captivating event combines classical dance and entertainment with an intimate dining setting.
What makes this event truly unique is the opportunity for interaction. The Maiko graciously answers questions, offering guests a rare insight into her life and the rich cultural heritage of Japan."

"You will love Luxury Gold because it’s more than just a journey—it's a curated experience that immerses you in the spirit of each destination with unique access. Every detail is handpicked to ensure your journey is seamless and unforgettable.
My favorite destination is undoubtedly New Zealand, where the stunning landscapes of the South Island are simply breathtaking. The North Island’s geothermal wonders and vibrant Māori culture add another layer of depth to the experience.
With Luxury Gold, you get to explore these spectacular places in an intimate way that truly captures the spirit of New Zealand.
One of my favorite experiences is the overnight cruise on Doubtful Sound. Gliding through pristine fjord waters and passing lush rainforests is incredibly beautiful. Enjoying a gourmet dinner onboard while taking in this breathtaking scenery and stargazing under a clear night sky is an inspiring experience that truly captures the essence of Luxury Gold."

"Luxury Gold holds a special place for me in the group travel space, as it offers accessible luxury—a perfect balance of the finer things without any stuffiness. Working across many different destinations, choosing a favorite is difficult because the portfolio covers the best of the best globally.
However, if I had to choose, Vietnam stands out as a special place with its fantastic food, fascinating history, and wonderful locals.
My favorite experience is the safari in South Africa, a bucket list adventure for anyone. The way Luxury Gold organizes it is just wonderful. The day starts with morning tea before heading out for game drives. Between drives, you can relax in your suite overlooking the river, read a book, or review your photos. Being in the moment inside a game park at one of the most amazing properties I have ever stayed in is truly remarkable.
True luxury is about time—time to enjoy, time to reflect, and time to be in the moment. Luxury Gold ensures that every itinerary creates that time and space."
