My Story
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 picked the perfect location for us to stay. Quiet at night and close to the tube station. She was proactive in telling us about the upcoming heat wave and switching to an air-conditioned hotel about a week out from our trip. I am forever grateful for her looking out for us!!

Izzy was quick to respond and provided detailed options for our staycation. Booked everything for us and made it super easy once we arrived at the hotel.

Izzy planned our entire trip for us. We had discussed what we wanted to see and do in London and Paris. She made reservations for our hotels, restaurants, museums, theater, and other events. She also arranged transportation via a private driver to and from the airport and the train. We had excellent communication with her both before and during our trip. All of her recommendations were excellent! We will be using Izzy again in the future. Thank you Izzy for making our trip so memorable!

Working with Izzy made planning our Dollywood trip incredibly easy. She was quick to respond, answered every question, and handled all the details so I didn’t have to. What could have been a stressful and time-consuming process was completely taken off my plate.
She also helped us secure a great rate, which I really appreciated. And the thoughtful touches—like the balloons waiting in our room for the kids—made our trip feel extra special from the moment we arrived.
If you’re planning a family vacation, I highly recommend working with Izzy. She made the entire experience simple, seamless, and enjoyable.

Working with Izzy as our travel agent was an absolute pleasure. She is incredibly helpful, efficient, and truly attentive to every detail. What stood out most was how spot-on her recommendations were—they perfectly matched our preferences and made planning feel effortless.
Izzy is also exceptionally responsive, always quick to answer questions and adjust plans as needed. I especially appreciated how respectful she was of our budget, offering thoughtful options without ever compromising on quality.
Highly recommend Izzy if you’re looking for a seamless, personalized travel planning experience.

Eat and Wine (No Whining) Your Way Through St. Helena, CA
I went to St. Helena on my sisters-in-law's bachelorette trip and fell in love! Some of the best wine and food I have ever had! St. Helena felt a little “small town” and “off the beaten” path in all the best ways possible.
