It All Started When I Realized I Didn’t Want to Vacation Like Everyone Else
You know the kind — the bus tours, the buffets, the everyone-wear-the-same-shirt group excursions. Not for me.
I wanted more color, more culture, more real.
So I started planning my own trips. Then my friends’. Then their friends’.
Now? I do it professionally — and I’ve never looked back.
Pre-flight skincare routine. Packing cubes. Airport mimosas.
Planning my next trip, chilling lakeside with my dogs, or geeking out over European train routes for fun.
Cookie-cutter itineraries, large group tours, or pretending to be someone I’m not (unless we’re role-playing as food critics in Italy).
Curiosity, kindness, good sunscreen, strong coffee, and saying “yes” to the second glass of wine.
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.
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 everything flows, but nothing feels generic.
I believe travel should feel like slipping into your favorite outfit in a brand new city: a little exciting, a lot of you.

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?
