About

I travel to connect with myself, with our planet and with each other. I’m excited to help you plan your next trip so you can do the same!

Travel style

I’m all about diving deep into a destination, blending elevated experiences with authenticity and adventure. I love curating thoughtful itineraries that balance exploration and relaxation, and my passion for slow travel and full immersion means you'll create lasting memories and connections wherever you go.

Whether it's seeking out the best sandwiches and seafood, immersing yourself in vibrant local culture through music, language and history or uncovering hidden gems that delight and inspire, I’m focused on crafting experiences that respect and celebrate local communities and the natural environment, weaving in volunteer opportunities and sustainability wherever possible.

When I’m not planning my next trip (and yours!) you can find me kayaking, photographing local flora and fauna and working with my partner and cat to convert a 4x4 Sprinter van into our full-time home to travel the world.

AG really came through for me on a recent trip to Chicago that was pretty stressful on the personal side. She made everything so much easier with clear communication and a beautifully detailed itinerary that covered all the bases. Her planning skills were spot-on and she even helped guide me with booking flights and making the most out of the short time I was in the neighborhood I stayed in. Can wait for my next trip to get some much needed travel help and advice from AG!
