My Story
Queer travel advisor with a camp counselor heart, a marketer’s brain, and the perfectly sourced YSL cover for my passport. I help people feel taken care of, wherever they go.
Travel Style
I’ve been a planner for as long as I can remember—whether that meant coordinating a whitewater kayaking trip at summer camp, building an off-site production schedule for talent, or organizing an international family reunion weekend for 200+ cousins. I love pairing thoughtful structure with a sense of discovery. I plan with heart and intention: mixing indulgence and practicality, local gems with a touch of magic, and always making sure the vibe matches the traveler. If there’s a color-coded Google Doc, a vista with the best sunset to catch, or a new bakery serving standout cinnamon buns and even better coffee—I’m in.

We were so grateful for your support. I don't know that we would have found or chosen this resort without your insight and it was perfect!

Alden did a fantastic job listening to my needs and then finding me the perfect hotel. She even managed a few added perks including late check out and a bar credit. All was much appreciated. Can’t wait to work with her again.

Alden planned EVERYTHING, and it was amazing. There were a few places we didn't get to- a full walk of the park, certain restaurants, but this was mainly due to having too much fun in the other places. The way the itinerary was organized allowed us to be fluid with some of the stop-in places, which was helpful. My five-year-old did get a little tired from all the walking, but nothing was unmanageable. Reservations and bookings were all seamless. One Summit Plaza had a long wait, even with booked times. The girls got a little restless, but it was worth it once we got up to the top. I will use Alden for all trips moving forward. Planning is not my forte, so having her take the reins after knowing all our interests and must-dos was beyond helpful.

48 Hours in Paris at Kimpton St Honoré: A Right Bank Reset Before Cannes
Paris is the city I know best and reach for most often—but I usually stay on the Left Bank, in the quieter arrondissements where I feel most at home. This trip was a two-night detour to the Right Bank en route to Cannes Lions, and it quietly rearranged my Paris map. Sometimes the hotels we underestimate teach us the most about how a city can be experienced.
