Designing Journeys with Intention
Raised by parents who never spent a weekend at home, I grew up road-tripping through Italy, Switzerland and the beautiful regions of France. Switzerland became my second home: I worked there for more than 17 years and still adore its ski slopes, Riviera towns and Heidi-esque valleys. For over 15 years now, I’ve been circling the globe — living in Canada for a year and in South Africa, travelling across the Americas from Quito to Cape Horn, and seeking out paradise islands like the Maldives, the Caribbean (where I now live in Guadeloupe) and Polynesia. I founded Aurora Atlas to turn this lifelong passion into tailored journeys for others.
A Continuing Journey
Today I still chase mountains — from the Himalayas to the Andes, Alps, Kilimanjaro and the Rockies — and design itineraries that balance adventure with grace. These journeys taught me that luxury isn’t excess; it’s clarity, calm and details done beautifully.
Based in Guadeloupe, FWI, I curate itineraries for discerning travellers and international partners. My approach blends field knowledge, insider networks and an editorial eye: the right light, the right table, the right pace.
Certified South Africa Specialist since 2014, I’ve travelled across the continent many times to refine our partner network and uncover the most inspiring lodges and safaris.
Each itinerary begins as a conversation — a map of desires, memories and places that matter — then becomes a journey that feels inevitably yours.
The Aurora Atlas Way
We design journeys for those who value time well spent: discreet hospitality, rare access, generous light, and a logistics cadence that feels frictionless. Every program is tailor-made — built from first-hand experience, trusted partners and a constant search for places with a sense of soul.
Where we Craft most Often
Americas & Polar
Patagonia & Chilean fjords, Atacama & Bolivian altiplano, Canadian Rockies, Alaska, the Caribbean. Extensions to Antarctica with trusted expedition partners.
Africa & Middle East
Southern & East Africa (safari and coast), Morocco & the Sahara, Oman and the Empty Quarter — lodges with character and inspiring desert & ocean experiences.
Europe
Italy, Portugal, the Alps & Switzerland, the Scottish Highlands — villages, manors and mountain hideaways with strong culinary and cultural identity or City Breaks.
Asia & Indian Ocean
Indonesia (Bali & beyond), Sri Lanka & the Maldives — design-forward hotels, villas and slow island time.
We also respond to special requests worldwide through our international network of trusted partners and on-site experts.
