About
Curated attention to detail with the goal of making travel spectacular. Learning about the world through exploration and experience is one of my life's greatest joys.
Travel style
I never miss a must-see and I make it my mission to find that memorable travel "WOW!" I appreciate finer hotels and restaurants (I'm all about the F&B and a good night's sleep) but always look to discover that special local favorite.

Caren was absolutely incredible in helping us plan our trip. She offered thoughtful suggestions and helped arrange several unforgettable parts of the journey, each one adding something special to our experience. You can tell she truly puts her heart into what she does — it’s not just about logistics for her, it’s about creating memories. Thanks to her care, creativity and attention to detail, our trip became the trip of a lifetime, filled with moments we’ll treasure forever. We’re so grateful for her guidance and couldn’t have imagined a more seamless and memorable experience.

Caren was fantastic! She got everything organized for us including the ability to pay on one bill. We got a great rate, loved our 3 rooms that were all next door to each other and the welcome goodies really made us feel special. Thank you Caren!!!

Caren is a phenomenal travel agent! She is organized, thorough, thoughtful and incredibly patient. She is the ultimate traveler advocate ensuring that every detail of each trip is considered and addressed. Our highest praise for Caren is her integrity. She answers questions honestly and uses her extensive network to investigate anything outside of her expertise. We refer Caren excitedly and without hesitation at every opportunity - she is THE BEST!
