My Story
A foodie and spirits enthusiast who equally loves an energizing turn-up and a relaxing wind-down. An accountant by trade, I'm always adding to my travel bucket list and checking all the details twice!
Travel Style
I kick off my vacations with at least one "you can only do this here" experience, leaving the last days for relaxation, spontaneity and immersing myself in the local scene. From Michelin-starred dining to the neighborhood pub, find me trying all the foods and drinking all the drinks!

My family takes a trip every Christmas and I could not imagine planning it without A’Rielle. I have referred her anytime anyone asks about travel needs. She is amazing and on top of any and all of our families needs. We love her and cannot wait to plan the next trip!

A’Rie curated the trip of a lifetime for my family and I. We experienced the perfect balance of culture, food , and fun . Our tour guide even mentioned whoever planed your trip really knows what they are doing ! A’Rie made sure we experienced all the city had to offer and provided a seamless itinerary that flowed perfectly. The stay at safari was the perfect ending to trip with breath taking scenery and lodging. I cannot recommend A’Rie enough we are already thinking about where will have her plan for us next!

Coming off of wedding planing, we knew that we wanted to work with A’Rie to plan our honeymoon. It was clear that she had an established track record of excellence and did not disappoint! We were quite indecisive about how we wanted our honeymoon to look, but A’Rie sat down with us and asked important questions to understand our wants, interests, and budget. She came back with a curated and detailed list of locations and properties. Sugar Beach is St. Lucia was a clear winner. From there A’Rie took over with finalizing all accommodations, activities, food, and experiences that allowed a balance of relaxation and exploration. We did very little thinking, and just showed up to our vacation with luggage in hand. Luxury is what we wanted, and luxury is what we got! This was a trip of a lifetime thanks to Arranged by A’Rie!

Across the Atlantic: A Journey Through Europe’s Black History
Some of Europe’s stories are easy to miss. As a Black woman, I’m always curious about how Black history and culture surface where you least expect them—in the streets we walk, the buildings we pass, and the museums we visit along the way. This journey moves through seven major European cities, highlighting thoughtful tours and cultural stops that explore the legacy of the the transatlantic slave trade, African migration, and Europe’s colonial legacy. Together, these experiences bring new layers of meaning to Europe’s most recognizable cities.

Park Hyatt St. Kitts Familiarization Trip
In December, I had the pleasure of visiting the Park Hyatt St. Kitts on a Familiarization trip with their sales team and fellow travel advisors! Although St. Kitts is newer to the tourism scene than other Caribbean islands, they have mastered hospitality on this unspoiled volcanic island. Park Hyatt fits the scene for both relaxation and adventure, and is the next hotel to add to your bucket list.

The Solo Traveler's Guide to Italy: Sorrento, Rome & Venice
When traveling solo, my favorite way to immerse myself in a new destination is by foot, and of course, the Italians have a sexy word for it: Passaggiata. This word is used to describe a leisurely walk or stroll, typically taken in the evenings in Italian cities. Italy is the perfect destination for solo travelers who want to take advantage of exploring on their own time and can’t just pick one place to visit! Boasting comfy high-speed trains and over 10,000 miles of rail track, you can seamlessly experience the sea, the city and the mountains in one go through Italy. For solo travelers, the walkable cities of Sorrento, Rome and Venice offer delicious Italian cuisine, awe-inspiring historical sites and fabulous wine!

A Weekend of Romance in Scottsdale
Whenever my husband and I need a quick recharge from the cold and grey of the Midwest, we head for the clear desert skies of Arizona. Scottsdale is a fantastic destination to disconnect from technology and reconnect with your partner in a natural setting. With opportunities for hiking, star-gazing and admiring the local desert fauna, it's easy to forget that the city of Phoenix is just 15 minutes away. The inconspicuous stucco exteriors of Scottsdale's resorts conceal relaxing retreats, mountain views and dreamy pools for the ultimate romantic weekend.
