My Story
My travel story is narrated by Anthony Bourdain and led by fearless 1900s solo female explorer and writer Freya Stark. I believe that travel educates and expands us incomparably, and that by connecting over food and drink we can change the world.

Adrienne couldn’t have done better in finding the perfect hotel for our trip. She was knowledgeable about the city and various areas of town, gave us multiple options at various price points and some great recommendations for attractions close to each hotel. Once we picked the Mayfair, Adrienne handled everything from securing the reservation and connecting personally with the hotel concierge to request early check in, to making dinner reservations at Restaurant Gordon Ramsey for our anniversary dinner. Everywhere we went we were greeted with anniversary acknowledgements and special gestures. Her attention to detail ensured our trip was spectacular. I’ve always prided myself as someone who could make my own travel plans but after using Adrienne’s services, I will leave the planning to her from now on!

A Food & Art Sunday in Houston's Montrose District
As a teenager cruising the "S" along Westheimer Road in Houston's Montrose in the 80s, it was the dance clubs and alternative scene that drew us here from our suburban homes. This long-time LGBTQ+ community of Midtown still holds its same sway, now complemented with fine dining, crafty bars, and stellar hotels. Just a hop from the Museum District, spending a lazy Sunday here is what I call a perfect day.

24 Hours in the Vortex of Yum: 3 Michelin-Ranked Spots on a 12-Minute Walk in East Austin
The Holly neighborhood in East Central Austin is where I've called home since 2011. It wasn't a hot spot back then, actually the opposite, with lots of churches, small houses on small lots, and run-down businesses. But from growing up in a restaurant family, I knew that if you follow where people are doing creative things with food, investing their heart and soul in flavor, people are bound to catch on. They have.
