About
A bitter southerner who loves a good song, a good story and a good cocktail. No matter where I am, the winds of wanderlust are always calling.
Travel style
Travel shouldn't be exhausting but every day should be an adventure. Whether it's hiking on a little-known trail, scouring the city for an elusive piece of street art or hunting a speakeasy hidden in plain sight, you can count on me to find the most fun ways to get lost. I'm always after those one-of-a-kind experiences that stick with you long after you've packed your bags back home.

Alyssa's reviews
Planning this experience with Alyssa was so effortless and enjoyable. She took the time to discover our interests and put together some options to choose from, all of which were enticing. Once we decided, booking was a breeze. Alyssa very plainly laid out each step of the process along the way, checking in and offering help if needed. I cannot wait to book my next travel with Alyssa!

We can’t thank Alyssa enough for organizing such a perfect getaway to Stowe! Everything from the accommodations at the Bluebird Cady Hill to the seamless travel arrangements was thoughtfully planned. The lodge was exactly what we hoped for—clean, cozy, and in a great location close to shops, ski gear rentals, slops and the charming town center. The little welcome gifts were such a sweet touch, and the whole trip felt effortless thanks to her expertise. We’re already looking forward to planning our next adventure with Alyssa's help! We’d recommend her to anyone—she is amazing!

We had the most magical NYC Christmas trip and could not have done it without Alyssa. She helped every step of the way by suggesting activities, getting our itinerary just right, and custom building our daily activities. She helped secure the hard-to-get reservations and took into account our specific wants and needs. We can’t wait to work with Alyssa again for our next adventure!!!
