For 40 years I've been chasing life-changing moments — tracking pumas in Torres del Paine, swimming with whale sharks in the Galápagos, standing in −20°F to see a Great Gray Owl, sitting one meter from a mountain gorilla family in Uganda. I've had the privilege of visiting many of the world's greatest destinations, and I've learned that the best ones don't just show you something new — they change you.
As a Certified Travel Coach and PhD candidate in Psychology, I've spent the last decade combining rigorous personality research with real-world travel design. Along the way I've spoken at more than 100 corporate events — from intimate leadership circles to conference halls of 7,500 — sharing what I've learned about how travel can quietly become the most powerful tool we have for personal transformation.
I founded Transformed by Travels because I believe every traveler deserves what only the best travel companies have quietly offered their high-end clients for years: a trip designed around who you actually are — not who marketing assumes you are. That's what these founding member consults are about. I want to prove it to you personally, one traveler at a time.
