The Hashmite Kingdom of Jordan and Beyond
Cathleen was named to Travel + Leisure’s A-List in 2025 and 2026 for her depth of expertise in Jordan and her ability to curate once-in-a-lifetime trips that invite American travelers into the culture and history of this storied destination. Since her first trip to the kingdom nearly a decade ago, she has found that Jordan is a fascinating place with incredible culture, warm hospitality, and centuries of history waiting to be uncovered. Our team is passionate about making the region accessible to Americans, breaking down stereotypes, and helping people to see the rich culture and texture of the Middle East beyond the complex headlines. Cathleen’s understanding of the nuances of the region enables her to plan customized journeys that are safe, inspiring, and perspective-shifting for clients of all ages and backgrounds.

As an Italian-American who has been learning the language since college, Cathleen has traveled much of the peninsula, both on and off the beaten path.
