About

New Jersey-based traveler with a serious passion for planning the perfect getaway. I live with my husband and our cute pup, Waffles — but I’m the one obsessing over the itineraries, hidden gems and charming little towns. When I’m not dreaming of my next trip, I’m probably deep into F1 highlights or plotting how to catch a race abroad. Adventure, aesthetic and adrenaline — always on the list!

Travel style

I’m all about the thoughtful details that turn a trip into an unforgettable experience. Whether it’s uncovering the best restaurants in a tucked-away town, finding that perfect boutique stay or mapping out the smoothest route to soak in the best views — my travel style is equal parts charm, ease and inspiration. I’m especially drawn to food and drink adventures, from wine tours to cooking classes, because I believe the best way to experience a place is through its flavors. If you love beautiful places, well-researched plans and a little dash of spontaneity (plus maybe an F1 race in the mix!), I’m your person.

Alisa's reviews

Alisa was so helpful in booking our trip! 24 hours before we were scheduled to leave for our vacation, Puerto Rico had an island wide blackout. Alisa immediately stepped into action for us, calling the hotel and all of our restaurants to ensure we’d still be able to come and everything would be happening as planned. Which it did!

She did an awesome job helping us find this spot and we will definitely use her again and return to the hotel! She was thorough, easy to work with and planned us an amazing vacation.
