My Story
I'm Callie—Chicago-based, obsessively curious, and allergic to gatekeeping when it comes to travel intel. I write The Travel Edit by CLD, where I share honest, firsthand takes on hotels and destinations—no filler, no sponsored-sounding fluff. Advising through Fora just means I can turn that research into your actual trip, with the perks and price protection that come from working with someone who's already done the homework.
Travel Style
I'm drawn to boutique properties with real character, slower travel that leaves room to actually be somewhere, and the kind of local detail you won't find in a listicle. If a hotel has a good story or a destination has a quieter side, I've probably already found it—or I'll go find it for you.

From the Fairways to the Redwoods: 3 Perfect Days in Carmel-by-the-Sea
After discovering Carmel-by-the-Sea with my husband on a weekend getaway, it has stayed with me as one of the most beautiful and peaceful places I've ever been. The cliffside coastline, the redwood giants of Big Sur, Pacific sunsets that stop you in your tracks—it's the kind of place that earns a permanent spot on your travel list. Downtown Carmel offers storybook charm with its historic cottages and local art galleries, while the national parks nearby showcase some of the most dramatic scenery on the California coast. Spend a day on the fairways of a world-class golf course or unwinding at a luxury spa in the valley—the choice is entirely yours.

A Family Getaway in Carmel Valley's The Quail

When first visiting the area, my husband and I fell for the beautiful coastline beaches, top-notch food and wine, and the amazing golf courses. This part of California truly offers something for everyone. All with the backdrop of Big Sur and the ocean—what could be better.
