My Story
NYC-based traveler, marathon runner, and adventure planner always chasing the next great trip—whether it’s a boutique hotel escape or a local hidden gem halfway around the world.
Travel Style
I’ve explored over 30 countries and always seem to be planning the next one. Based in Midtown Manhattan with my husband Jacob, I work behind the scenes at Saturday Night Live and spend my downtime dreaming up the perfect itineraries. I love travel that blends slow moments with a sense of adventure—whether that’s running a marathon abroad, sipping wine in the Slovenian Alps, or catching a show in London. Some of my favorite trips have taken me from the quiet beauty of Hokkaido to the buzz of Tokyo and the magic of the Paris Olympics. For me, travel is about finding what makes a place feel alive—boutique stays, local flavors, and the moments you can’t plan for.

Charlie made everything so easy! All of his hotel recommendations were places I’d stay, and I definitely wouldn’t have considered the Riggs on my own. He’ll definitely be hearing from me again!

Charlie made planning my trip so fun and easy. He found the perfect neighborhood and the beautiful boutique hotel for me to stay all week. As a female traveling alone, Charlie took my safety into account as well when he was helping me decide the best area for me to stay, which meant a lot to me. I couldn’t have been more happy with the neighborhood and hotel that I ended up booking. It was perfect! Charlie has called ahead and got me upgraded to an amazing suite for the whole stay, the staff took care of me the whole trip as well. Charlie also sent me a list of fun activities and tours that he has done before/knew I was interested in. I booked a baking class where I got to learn how to make pastel de natas. It was so much fun! I will definitely be booking my next trip thru Charlie as well!

Charlie was so easy to work with. He quoted me a less expensive price by far (compared to my own searching) and I felt confident knowing I was booked with a trusted travel provider.
