About

Boston-based by way of Southern California, always armed with multiple Google Maps and itineraries. A dilly-dallying traveler with a knack for blending luxe experiences and hidden gems, I thrive on spontaneity balanced with structure. Forever on the hunt for the best food and wine.

Travel style

My approach to travel is all about embracing the magic of in-between moments — the art of balancing structure with spontaneity. I believe the best travel experiences happen when you allow yourself to dilly-dally just enough to discover unexpected gems, whether you have a whole day to explore or just a few minutes between stops. I love blending luxurious experiences with hole-in-the-wall adventures, with food and wine discovery always at the heart of my itineraries. I’ve perfected transitioning this style of travel for families with young kids, ensuring comfort without losing that pre-kid travel magic. Whether it's a quick escape or an immersive journey, my itineraries cater to both the spirit of exploration and the realities of family life. From family-friendly itineraries to moms’ weekends and couples' getaways, I’m here to help you enjoy every step of the journey — at home or abroad.

Arielle's reviews

This was a special birthday trip, and Arielle went above & beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. The hotel was perfect - centrally located but still felt quiet and high end. And she arranged for a special Birthday surprise that was set up on arrival. Her recommendations for the itinerary were very thoughtful and fit exactly what I was looking for, as someone who likes to get to know a city through its food & culture. I will definitely connect with Arielle again, for future travels!
