The Detours Collection

Allergy-Safe Luxury Travel

Planned by someone who lives with the same allergies — so you don’t have to compromise, or worry.

Plan a trip with me

I know the routine: the questions at every table, the backup snacks in your bag, the trips you've talked yourself out of. I started developing food allergies, and they got more complex over time. I didn't stop traveling — I just got very good at planning.

Now I do that planning for you. I choose hotels, villas and ships where the kitchen can actually cook for you, brief the chefs before you arrive, and build days at a pace that leaves room to enjoy them. The Detours Collection is an affiliate of Fora Travel, Inc.

Why work with me

  • I live with this too. You won't have to explain cross-contact or defend your needs. I've been the person at the table asking the questions.

  • The chef already knows. Private chefs, small estates and chef-led properties where your allergen profile is shared and confirmed ahead of time — not read off a card at dinner.

  • Luxury, with the perks. Through Fora Travel, many of my hotels come with upgrades when available, breakfast, and property credits.

  • A pace that works for you. If you travel with fatigue or a chronic condition, I build in rest, shorter transfer days and fewer early starts.

  • Every detail handled. Reservations, transfers, special requests and a plan for what happens if something goes wrong.

How I help

  • Full trip design: day-by-day itineraries, private guides, briefed restaurants and dining reservations.

  • Partial planning: hotels, a cruise or the dining for a trip you're mostly planning yourself.

  • Luxury cruising: small-ship and luxury lines, plus fully gluten-free sailings with Celiac Cruise and Oceania's gluten-free voyage in May 2028.

A note on safety. No one can promise a reaction-free trip, and I won't. What I promise is that every booking is chosen and briefed with your allergies first, and that you'll travel with a plan.

Let's plan your next trip.

Tell me where you want to go, who's coming, and what you can't eat. I'll come back with ideas that fit — and the questions I'd want answered before booking.

Traveling with your dog? I plan pet-friendly US trips too — just mention it in your inquiry.

Here are examples of destination guides I’ve created from places I’ve personally traveled.
