My Story
I turn “someday” into a stamped passport. With 26 countries explored and a deep passion for travel, I specialize in designing personal itineraries for solo explorers, lovers of luxury resorts and unique boutique stays. Whether you’re after a hidden gem, a premier five-star retreat, or adventure, I’ll handle the logistics so you can just show up and enjoy. Let’s design a trip that’s made for you.
Travel Style
My approach to travel is all about the “find”—that perfect boutique hotel with character, a luxury stay at an unbeatable value, or a solo adventure that pushes your boundaries. Having explored 26 countries, I’ve learned that the best trips aren’t just about where you go, but how you experience it. I’m a firm believer that you shouldn’t have to choose between an adrenaline-pumping adventure and a world-class food scene. I bridge that gap by designing personal itineraries that blend high-end comfort with authentic, local soul. I’ll map out the logistics and find the gems. You just bring the suitcase and an appetite for something new.

Abbey is seriously the BEST!!! She went so far above and beyond to make our trip absolutely perfect, and I truly don’t know what we would have done without her. She was so helpful throughout the entire planning process, thought of every little detail, and was always so quick to answer any questions we had. She made everything feel so easy and stress-free, and you could tell she genuinely cared about making sure we had the best experience possible.
Our trip was incredible, and so much of that is because of Abbey! She is the sweetest, most thoughtful, and most attentive travel advisor, and I would recommend her to absolutely anyone. We will 100% be using her for every trip we take in the future!!

Where the Live Oaks Meet the Sea: Georgetown & Pawleys Island, South Carolina
Georgetown is where my mom grew up, and, if I wasn’t at camp during the summer, I was here. This Southern beach town is perfect for travelers looking to trade packed tourist boardwalks for a slower, more intentional pace of life. By pairing Georgetown’s historic downtown architecture and local marsh views with the pristine, unhurried shores of neighboring Pawleys Island, this region offers a quiet, timeless coastal alternative. It’s a place built for wandering beneath moss-draped live oaks, exploring boutiques along Front Street, and enjoying fresh-off-the-boat Lowcountry seafood. I’ve curated this guide to share some nostalgic spots and modern favorites that invite you to unpack, breathe deeply, and linger awhile.
