I am a Virtuoso luxury travel advisor and the founder of 6Teen Summers, based in Newport Beach, California.
I grew up in the UK and have spent most of my adult life moving between cities and countries – London, Edinburgh, Oxford, Dublin, Sydney, and eventually Orange County, where my family has been for the past thirteen years. My husband and I have lived in or travelled through close to 90 countries. That breadth of firsthand experience is the foundation of everything I do for my clients.
I specialise in bespoke, high-touch travel for affluent families, couples, and multigenerational groups. Safari and Africa. Luxury cruise. Europe. The Caribbean. Private aviation and yacht charter. Trips that are built around the people taking them, not a template.
I have two boys of my own, which means I understand family travel from the inside. I know which properties genuinely work for families with young children, which safari camps have the right pace for a toddler, and which cruise lines feel luxurious rather than simply large. I plan trips the way I would want mine planned – with real knowledge of what works on the ground.
Before founding 6Teen Summers, I spent sixteen years building a business from the ground up that was eventually sold to a NASDAQ-listed company in 2022. That background shapes how I work; detailed, direct, and focused entirely on the outcome. My clients do not manage the process. I do.
The name 6Teen Summers comes from a number I kept coming back to. From the year your child is born to the year they leave home, you have sixteen summers. That is not a lot. It is worth doing something meaningful with them.
A 29-night South Pacific cruise departing Sydney Harbour that reminded me why slow travel changes everything. A family safari in Botswana where two young children saw their first elephant at dawn and nobody spoke for a full minute. A helicopter flight over the Big Island volcanoes with my boys, one transfixed, one asleep. And a multigenerational trip to Italy where four generations shared a long lunch in Tuscany that nobody wanted to end. These are the trips I plan for, the ones that stay with a family long after the bags are unpacked.
