I have traveled to 70 countries, first as a solo backpacker, then as a DINK with my husband, and now as a mom with my two young children.
Let's Plan SomethingFor me, the answer is trips. My parents were hippies, and I still remember road trips across the US, the first time I ate a burrito in California, stargazing in Utah, and believing that rainbows were a permanent fixture of the Santa Fe skies. Days at home blurred together but travels stuck with me and shaped who I am.
Travel looks different for me now that I usually have two small children exploring the world with me, but the longing to visit new places and try new food is still a fundamental part of who I am. I became a travel advisor because I'm utterly obsessed with travel, and I love sharing it with others.
01
I don't do package itineraries or AI slop. Travel is personal and a dream trip will look very different for everyone. Tell me about what you love and what you hate and we'll go from there.
02
Every recommendation is built from scratch because it fits you, not because it's the top hit on TripAdvisor.

Honeymoons and Anniversaries
Trips to celebrate a moment, planned with the care they deserve. My husband and I still talk about our honeymoon all the time, and I get so much joy from helping others plan theirs.
Family Travel
Now that I'm a mom of two young children, my latest obsession is family vacations that still feel like vacations.
Luxury and Boutique
I obsessively research (and visit!) under-the-radar places that might not show up as a top hit on Google, but are even more wonderful than the places everyone has heard of.
Adventure and Exploration
Whether you're dreaming about the Galapagos, the Arctic, the Himalayas, or you've already been to all those places and want to discover the next amazing adventure, I'd love to give you some ideas and introduce you to new corners of the globe.
