It All Started When I Realized I Didn’t Want to Travel Like Everyone Else

You know the kind — the coach tours, the buffets, the everyone-wear-the-same-shirt group excursions. Not for me.

I wanted something that felt less cookie-cutter and more real.

So I started planning my own trips. Then my friends’. Then their friends’.

Now? I do it professionally, and I LOVE it!

TRAVEL RITUALS:

Planning my next trip, chilling lakeside with my dogs, or geeking out over new cruise ship builds for fun.

YOU CAN FIND ME:

Cookie-cutter itineraries, large group tours, or pretending to be someone I’m not (unless we’re role-playing as food critics in Italy).

I'm NOT ABOUT:

Curiosity, kindness, good sunscreen, strong coffee, and saying “yes” to the second glass of wine.

I BELIEVE IN:

When I plan a trip, I go deep. I research cruise ships like I’m about to captain them. I’ll pick a pre-stay hotel based on walking distance to the best wine bar. I think of the things you don’t — airport lounge access, where to get a late-night snack, and how to skip the tourist traps without missing the magic of your destination.

Whether you're traveling solo, as a couple, or with a crew, I’ll take the pressure off so you can stop Googling and start dreaming.

My superpower is designing trips that are equal parts ease and adventure — where all the pieces flow and nothing feels generic.
I believe travel should feel like a part of your soul stays connected with the destination after you leave.

My Favorite Things

Steve (a real keeper). We’ve seen so many places together — and so many more to come.

my happy place!

Unique experiences – like:
Spending our 5th anniversary in the Paris Catacombs (yes, really).

My dogs love the water as much as I do — we spend as much time near lakes and rivers as possible.

let's work together

Let’s plan a trip that feels like you — not a brochure version of someone else.

Did we just become best travel friends?
