Travel style
Traveling as a family (with young children) can be daunting especially when you love to travel off-the-beaten-path, but it’s possible! I enjoy finding fun and memorable experiences all while maintaining affordability. I believe that exploring new cities and getting to meet the locals is the best way to see a city! Whether a couples trip, family gathering or reunion, that’s where I come in. I can help create an itinerary for your dream trip, minus the drama (plus certain goodies you might have otherwise missed)!
