Travel style

For most of the past decade, I lived in hotels, spending 340 nights a year in the best and newest hotels and resorts around the world. I have up-to-date insider tips and intel for luxury travelers, foodies and honeymooning couples. I'm the kind of traveler who will book a restaurant reservation before I book flights or a hotel, and enjoy the right balance of fine dining and street food. Champagne, dark chocolate and gelato are my greatest weaknesses.

Amber's reviews

Amber is the best I have ever worked with, and I have worked with a great many advisors. She is very intuitive in understanding what I like and finding me the perfect hotel location and property. Always has a nice welcome gift for me too.

I couldn't ask for a better advisor than Amber! We reached out looking for some guidance on a last-minute trip to Vancouver, and she got back to us with amazing suggestions in under 24 hours. What was originally a very stressful trip to plan quickly became a fully fleshed out vacation within just a few days. Thank you, Amber!
