Travel style

My wanderlust story began when I studied abroad in Spain in 2015, which led to weekend adventures exploring most of Europe. It was there that my love for travel ignited. I've come a long way from staying in hostels and budget hotels; now, I love discovering unique boutique hotels and resorts in fun + trendy neighborhoods that allow me to explore cities by foot.

My true passion lies in helping others plan their dream trips, and I'm known for putting in the hard research to uncover those hidden gems that make every trip extraordinary. Let's chat about your travel goals and I'll pair you with some of my favorite destinations/hotels to make your journey unforgettable!

Perfect planning and very useful recommendations. Very competent and always answers questions immediately. Definitely a strong reason to plan the next journey with Alex again.

When we started planning our dream honeymoon to Japan, we felt overwhelmed & unsure where to start. Bringing Alex on board was seriously the best decision we could have ever made! After meeting with us she got right on making a detailed & fun itinerary for us & held our hands every step of the way through bookings, train tickets, & hotel recommendations. We genuinely wouldn’t have been able to do this trip without her & would highly recommend her for all your vacation planning needs. She gets it & was extremely responsive throughout the whole time leading up & during.

Alex was THE BEST. She was prompt, understanding, gave us so many options and really listened to what we wanted out of our trip. Not only did she help with our trip she went out of her way with advice for wedding hotel block booking and checked in during our trip. She was also able to help us with last minute reservations. We plan on utilizing Alex for our future trips

We recently returned from an unforgettable trip to Japan, and we owe so much of the success of our journey to Alex, our amazing travel advisor. From the very beginning, Alex took the time to understand our interests, travel pace, and preferences, and used that insight to craft a beautifully balanced itinerary that brought Japan to life for us.

We visited Tokyo, Hakone, Kyoto, and Hiroshima, and Alex provided an itinerary which hit on the highlights we should try not to miss in each city in the timeframe we had in each place. The hotels Alex selected were well-located and comfortable. In Tokyo, we enjoyed easy access to bustling neighborhoods and hidden gems. Hakone offered us a peaceful retreat with mountain and river views. In Kyoto, we stayed close to historic districts, and our time in Hiroshima was both moving and inspiring.

Alex also arranged an excellent tour with Pancho, who was a knowledgeable and engaging local guide—which added depth and meaning to our visit to Hiroshima. Whether it was navigating the efficient (but sometimes overwhelming) train system, finding restaurants that met our dietary needs, or helping us understand local customs, Alex assistance was excellent. She helped us obtain our train tickets and secure reservations on the train and had the tickets delivered to us on the first day of our trip which was a huge benefit.

Thanks to Alex’s careful planning, we were able to relax and fully immerse ourselves in the beauty, history, and culture of Japan. This trip was everything we hoped for and more. We wholeheartedly recommend working with Alex for anyone looking to explore Japan with confidence and joy!
