Transform Your Travels Into Extraordinary Experiences
Welcome to Latitude 35 Travel
Your next trip could be the experience that changes how you see the world.
As your travel advisor (or adventure designer, as I call myself!), I specialize in creating meaningful travel experiences that go beyond the surface, connecting you with the cultures and communities that make each destination truly remarkable.
Dream Big. Tell the Tale.
Meaningful Travel That Inspires
Traveling with purpose is about how a place makes you feel and the ways it stays with you long after you’ve come home.
It’s sharing a toast with a local wine maker, exploring amazing Mother Nature, or hearing a story that shifts your perspective forever. It’s travel that opens your heart as much as your eyes.
When we travel with intention — honoring the people, cultures, land and ecosystems we encounter — our journeys become more than vacations. They become life-changing experiences that connect us to something bigger than ourselves.

Experiences That Elevate
I design trips that go beyond the ordinary to create experiences that genuinely transform — whether it's a private cooking class with a grandmother, sunrise meditation with Buddhist monks, or tracking wildlife with conservation researchers.
These carefully curated experiences create space for genuine connection — with places, people, and parts of yourself you might not have discovered otherwise. They're designed to be meaningful for you while supporting the communities and environments that make them possible.

Destinations That Excite
While I craft exceptional journeys worldwide, I have deep expertise in Asia (particularly Japan) and Africa & the Middle East — from India to Bali, Morocco to South Africa, and Jordan to Oman. These regions offer some of the world's most profound cultural exchanges and transformative landscapes.
Wherever your curiosity leads, I’ll design experiences that align with what matters most to you.
