About
I call myself a "tipsy gypsy." I love dishing out travel tips & living like a nomad. I visited 30 countries by age 30 (mostly solo) and my passion further ignites with each new place I go!
Travel style
I'm a “splurge and save” type of traveler. Whether it's staying in hostels or high-end hotels, or exploring via hop-on-hop-off bus tours or a gourmet 5-course meal on glass-roofed bus tours, I know how to strike a balance with my knack for stretching budgets while maximizing experiences. My career has been in running golf and tennis events and my hobby (travel) has led me to 4 continents (solo) and 42 US states. This combination makes me a “go-to” for splurge and savers, solo travelers, buddies golf trips and incorporating Grand Slams (tennis) into your travel plans.

Izzy's reviews
Izzy was amazing and so helpful laying out all of the options for hotels in each city that could accommodate a larger family! She went above and beyond figuring out a game plan for each city we were in and then laying out a general itinerary/booking tickets with helpful travel tips to navigate especially knowing we were traveling with younger kids. We could not have planned this trip without her!!!

Izzy went above and beyond to make this trip extraordinary! She found us the best hotel within our budget and got us amazing upgrades, including a large credit toward breakfast and even a credit for the spa! We even received a personalized letter and the best chocolate-covered strawberries on the first night. Izzy was always quick to respond during the planning phase and her communication was impeccable. She provided us with a list of recommendations for dining and excursions while in NOLA and every last one lived up to the hype. I will never again plan a trip without Izzy's help. I HIGHLY recommend booking your next trip through Izzy!

Izzy was so great at planning our honeymoon to Thailand for us. I’m usually very type A and like to do everything myself, but with all of the wedding stuff I decided to try using a travel advisor and I’m SO GLAD I did. She worked with Destination Asia to put together the perfect itinerary as well as setting up English-speaking transportation/guides for us. Our trip was incredible and it was so nice to just relax and follow the guide for our trip. I’d definitely recommend working with Izzy for your next trip.
