Alexis has been a world traveler since she was just three years old and still vividly remembers each and every one of her trips. To this day she would say that travel has been paramount in shaping her perspective on the world, her interest in design and her love for anthropology and different cultures.

Over the years, she has worked in multiple creative arenas including: film, illustration & graphics, photography and interior design. To this day, she attributes her eye for beauty, design, zest for discovery and adventure to her mom, who brought her to such extraordinary places as a young girl. She not only had the opportunity to experience extensive European travels and other well known destinations in Asia and Africa, but also unique, remote ones such as Papua New Guinea, where she met Huli tribes who taught her archery and experienced WWII wreck diving. Alexis was also amongst the first passengers on a commercial boat excursion to the Lesser Sundas of Indonesia in 1985, where she learned how tribes wove and dyed Ikat textiles.

Educated at Columbia University, where she received a B.A in Urban Studies and spent a summer in Paris, she later studied decorative and fine art at Sotheby’s Institute. Alexis’ passion for beauty and adventure along with her joie de vivre are the qualities she would say are most helpful when planning trips. She has an uncanny ability to seek out exceptional locations, accommodations,  activities and culinary experiences in any location, allowing every client to fulfill their personal needs and dream vacation. An avid writer, Alexis enjoys posting about her travels and sharing her passion for photography. Most rewarding, however is receiving letters from clients' who rave about her ability to choose the "perfect trip" for their family and friends.
