My Story
My love for travel started early with family cruises through the Caribbean and Europe—and I’ve been hooked ever since. I’ve explored 30+ countries across four continents and planned countless trips for myself, my family, and friends. For me, planning is half the fun—so I’d love to help plan your next adventure!
Travel Style
My travel style is inspired by Anthony Bourdain—I love exploring local culture, history, and food. While I want to see the highlights, I also leave room to relax, wander, and stumble upon unexpected experiences. I think the best way to get to know a city is to walk it. I enjoy a touch of luxury, but you’ll also find me at the local dive bar (probably getting recommendations from locals). Whether you want total relaxation, cultural immersion, adventure, or a special celebration, I’ll handle the details for your perfect getaway.

Emerald Isle Essentials: A 10-Day Journey Through Castles, Coast & Countryside
Ireland is magical. After first visiting as backpackers, it left such a strong impression that my now-husband and I chose to return years later to celebrate our 10-year anniversary with friends and family. The range of experiences is remarkable: from iconic landmarks to quieter moments tucked into its lush countryside, conveniently dotted with roadside castles (what more could you want?). This itinerary highlights some of my favorite spots, but it’s the kind of place that almost guarantees a return visit.

Belgium Beyond Brussels: Antwerp, Bruges & Ghent
While Belgium might not have as many bucket-list sights as other places in Europe, it shouldn’t be overlooked. The charming cities of Ghent, Bruges, and Antwerp are like living museums—the architecture is stunning and just going for a stroll can be magical. On top of that, their beer and chocolate are truly the best.
