Profile details

About

As a Southern California native, I embrace the SoCal lifestyle to the fullest. I am the proud mama of two wild boys. The beach and the mountains are my favorite places to be, providing the perfect backdrop for our family's adventures. With a passion for discovering new experiences, I am always on the lookout for the next great adventure.

Travel style

My travel style is a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation. You'll find me snorkeling with my family in crystal-clear waters, lounging on the beach with a good book, or sipping a cocktail by the pool. I am always planning our next adventure!

Alisha's reviews

Alisha recently planned a family trip to Disneyland for us and found the perfect place to stay. What really stood out was how Alisha took the time to research and present several hotel options that fit our needs, budget, and preferences. She answered all my questions, offered insider tips for making the most of our trip, and handled every little detail so I didn’t have to stress. Highly recommend! 🙌
