Hello - I’m excited to meet you on a culinary vacation retreat on the amazing Costa Brava. I lived in the area for several years and can't wait to share the secrets of this beautiful destination with you.

Whether you live in Europe and are looking for an easy getaway, or if you are coming from the U.S. and want to incorporate this retreat into a longer European vacation, you will leave this experience with a relaxed (and well fed!) body and mind. You'll also gain a familiarity with a beautiful part of Spain and make some new friends.

As a culinary event producer, author of mixology books, and travel writer for National Geographic and Fodor’s Travel Guides, among others, I began taking “wellness time outs" by going on yoga retreats. During these, I found that my passion for solo travel was enhanced by meeting other like-minded people.

In 2014, I brought yoga and wellness workshops to the hospitality community at national trade events to help combat physical fatigue and emotional burn out. Since then, I’ve encountered people across all industries struggling with the same issues which led to me curating multi-day trips for corporate groups which included yoga, cooking classes, cultural excursions, and time to relax. By the end of these trips, everyone was smiling wider than when they arrived.

I speak English, French and Spanish and I’m passionate about hospitality. I’m a SuperHost on Air BnB, contributed to travel guides, and written articles for dozens of food, drink, and travel magazines. I’ve won awards in the hospitality industry because I love creating memorable experiences for my guests, and I'd love to do so for you!

Our muses are dancing all around us, and a vacation retreat is a wonderful way to reconnect with yours. I hope you will join us on our next retreat in October 2025.
