Expert itinerary maker and best hidden coffee shop finder. East Coast roots but now a West Coast local. Tons of travel everywhere in between. Specializing in Couples' Getaways, Family Adventures and Corporate Stays.
Travel style
Some days have timelines and reservations. Some days are spent on a beach with devices on DND. My favorite travel experiences fall right in the middle of being all planned out and happy accidents. Tourist traps are not really my style. I'd much rather explore like a local. Hidden art galleries, tucked away cafes and under-the-radar wine bars are a must in my book.

Emily's reviews
Our experience booking with Emily was amazing. We were a group of 12 for a family trip, that included grandparents and 5 kids ranging from 1-7 so we were looking for something very kid friendly but with some fun adult activities. Emily took into account what we were looking for in terms of not only location and amenities, but also budget. Communication was perfect, we had several planning calls and a call to talk through our final decision. The recommendations that Emily provided were also amazing, and it ended up being a hard choice in the end. We finally decided on a trip to Grand Hyatt, Baha Mar in the Bahamas. It ended up being a fantastic family trip and all agreed that we would do it again. We are planning to use Emily again for our family vacation next year.

Emily was awesome! We were booking in a short timeframe and I was really interested in visiting Ojai. Emily made the process so easy! She thought of everything—from sharing hotel options, aligning spa appointments, sending a really helpful map of the area, restaurant recommendations, etc. This trip would not have come together without Emily’s guidance and I will definitely be booking through her for all future trips!!

Emily is the best! I had a tall order of four families on a small island on a holiday weekend. She not only saved me such a headache of having to look through hotels but did all of the booking and organizing. Would definitely recommend to use her knowledge, work ethic, and kindness!

Emily is amazing. Knowledgeable, helpful, the hostess with the mostess. I was on the fence choosing between this property and another, and Emily and I both leaned into Palazzo Avino, and it was the perfect choice.
