I work at the intersection of lifestyle design, international living, and luxury travel — helping people connect the right places, seasons, and experiences to the life they actually want to live. This piece is part of that broader conversation.
People often come to me asking about a yacht.
A model.
A destination.
A season.
A budget.
And while those details matter — they’re almost never the real question.
What they’re actually searching for is fit.
Fit between their lifestyle and the way they want to live.
Fit between where they are now and where they feel pulled next.
Fit between freedom, responsibility, adventure, and ease.
The boat is just one piece of a much bigger picture 🌊
There are many beautiful yachts in the world.
And there are many brokers, operators, and travel specialists.
What’s surprisingly rare is someone who helps people connect the right pieces together — in a way that actually works for their real life.
I’ve lived and worked across multiple regions of the world — Europe, Asia, Central America, South America — spending years immersed in how different cultures move, travel, work, and rest.
What I’ve learned is this:
People don’t struggle because options are limited.
They struggle because no one helps them see which options actually align.
I’ve watched people:
charter the wrong boat in the wrong region
buy into a “dream” that looks beautiful but feels heavy
approach Europe, the Med, or life abroad with a North American mindset — and burn time, money, and energy
Not because they lacked resources — but because they lacked context.
For over a decade, my work has lived at the intersection of place, lifestyle, and access.
Through local experience design in Ontario (now quietly sitting in the background), international retreats, slow travel, and curated journeys through Take Me to Summer, I’ve always helped people ask better questions before making big moves.
Questions like:
How do you actually want your days to feel?
Is this chapter about escape — or integration?
Do you want simplicity, stimulation, or spaciousness?
What does “luxury” mean to you — not Instagram?
Luxury yachting became a natural extension of that work ⚓
Because yachts aren’t just vacations or assets.
They’re floating environments — places where people slow down, reconnect, and often gain clarity they didn’t expect.
When chosen intentionally, they can support freedom and expansion.
When chosen hastily, they can quietly create friction.
If you’re reading this and quietly recognizing parts of your own life — you’re not alone. Most of the people I work with arrive at this point not looking for a transaction, but for clarity.
Alongside yacht charters and sales through my work with Globe Regal Yacht Brokerage, I also support people through different stages of lifestyle evolution:
Take Me to Summer → for those craving warmth, inspiration, and a new way of living
The Summer Society → a space for people designing life around seasons, location, and freedom
The SnowBird Blueprint (upcoming) → practical guidance for living abroad part-time, intentionally and sustainably
Some people start with travel.
Some with a yacht.
Some with a question they can’t quite articulate yet.
The common thread is always the same:
helping people assemble a life that actually fits — piece by piece.
This work usually resonates with people who:
value alignment over appearances
are entering a new chapter of life or business
are curious about seasonal or international living
want guidance without pressure
care about how life feels, not just how it looks
People who aren’t just buying something —
they’re redefining how they live 🌍
As we move into a new month, many people quietly ask themselves:
What if things felt easier?
What if the next chapter was designed — not defaulted into?
Those questions don’t always need immediate answers.
But they do benefit from the right perspective.
If this way of thinking resonates, I’m always open to thoughtful conversations — sometimes clarity is the most valuable starting point of all ✨
The Summer Society is where I share reflections, destinations, and practical tools for designing a life around warmth, freedom, and seasonal living.
