Travel style
I have traveled on a shoestring budget and love finding affordable lodging and food, yet also enjoy a luxury hotel and spa after a long trekking adventure. I am always searching for the next adventure – usually outdoor based hiking trips with time spent in cities or towns before or afterwards, where I seek out the best food and drink to be had!

Allison is amazing! She herself is so well traveled, that she brought unique, practical and interesting insights to our vacation plans. Thanks to her, we did things that we would never have had on our radar. And, we traveled more efficiently because of her advice. And, thanks to her, I have plans to go to off-the-beaten path places I would never have known of. She was genuinely excited for our trip, which made us even more eager for the vacation to come! She was patient with us (because I can be picky), she brought a variety of great accommodation options for us to choose from, and she was always in communication with us. It was like having a great friend plan our trip for us. Thank you Allison!!
