Twenty years in emergency medicine taught me how trips go wrong. Now I plan around it.
I spent two decades in the emergency department, many of them in a resort town full of visitors. I saw what happens when someone is far from home, without their medications or medical history, on a day their body won’t cooperate. I don’t plan trips around that worry. I plan them so you don’t have to carry it.
That means getting the unglamorous details right before you leave: the cabin or room you can actually get to easily, the transfer that’s really waiting, the port you can step off at. And every trip comes with a one-page travel sheet: your medications, your doctor and insurance contacts, and the nearest hospital at each stop. Then the trip gets to be what it was supposed to be.
Why people trust me with the trips that matter
- Accessible, comfort-first travel. Cruises, land trips and longer journeys planned around mobility, stamina and health needs, not squeezed in as an afterthought.
- Twenty years in emergency medicine. As a paramedic and a physician assistant, I learned which questions to ask and what to plan for.
- I look at places the way you’ll experience them. Whether it’s the Scottish Highlands, an Atlantic crossing or a road trip in my 1965 Airstream, I notice the walk from the cabin, the step into the shower, the hill up from the station.
- Independent advisor with Fora Travel. The backing of a major agency, with one person handling your trip from the first conversation until you’re home.
What you won’t get from me is a trip that feels medical. Accessible travel should still feel like the good life: unhurried, comfortable, and full of the things you went for. My job is to handle the hard parts quietly so you can explore with dignity and a lot less worry.
