My Story
A Type-A planner who lives for the spontaneous and unique experiences that are often discovered on a great trip.
My Travel Style
I’m passionate about learning about my environment, and am always seeking one-of-a-kind experiences and hidden gems when I travel. My perfect city trips include a few daily plans with plenty of time to wander and explore different neighborhoods. I gravitate towards small, boutique hotels with fabulous bars, and can usually find the perfect restaurant packed with locals, great food and ambiance. I feel equally fortunate hiking with my son in Costa Rica and experiencing water so blue it looks photoshopped, as I do taking a cheese class in Paris or hanging out with my husband and friends at the Grand Banks Oyster Bar in Manhattan on a beautiful summer day.

Alexandra was wonderful!! So helpful and responsive and we had a dream trip to Nice thanks to her planning. The hotel was perfect and right on budget. She also planned us 2 day trips that were 10/10- perfectly organized, pre-paid and wonderful experiences. Alexandra gave us wonderful tips on what else to do while we were there, as well as helped to organize reservations at hard to get restaurants! I will be using Alexandra for all of my trip planning going forward!

Working with Alex was an amazing experience. She listened very carefully to our budget and our taste and the activities that we wanted to do and put together an itinerary for us that met our goal of combining seeing key, museums, and historic sites as well as open time with no plans. She kept in constant communication even while we were traveling to provide us Any updates from the tour operators to make sure that of any location or timing information had changed, we had that information immediately. I would not hesitate to work with Alex again, and I will definitely recommend her to family and friends who are needing an experienced travel planner.

Most things were great. I did not get the meal time I requested. I am at the age where more communication is better. I would have liked more tips on sites to see or what to pack.

7-Night Alaska Inside Passage Cruise Aboard the Holland America Koningsdam
Sailing through Alaska aboard the Holland America Koningsdam was both inspiring and memorable. I’d always dreamed of visiting Alaska, but as someone who was hesitant about cruising, I saw this as the perfect chance to experience it firsthand—and to bring my cruise-cautious clients along for the journey. What unfolded was a trip filled with awe: glaciers, wildlife, quiet moments at sea, and the ease of waking up in a new, breathtaking port each day. It completely shifted my perspective—and if you have reservations about cruising, I hope it will do the same for you.
