My Story
A mom of three who loves a good book, a spicy margarita and a quality boutique hotel.
My Travel Style
I used to adventure travel but have turned into more of a luxury boutique hotel kind of person. You won't find me in my hotel room for too long though, I love to walk and explore, especially cities with history and culture. Good travel is made better with good food, and I think this is why Mexico is one of my favorite destinations.

Our recent Family vacation to Hawaii / Kona was absolutely fantastic, and working with Erica made all the difference. From start to finish, she handled every detail with such care, organization, and genuine enthusiasm that we felt supported the entire way. Erica took the time to truly understand what we were hoping for—relaxation, beautiful scenery, great food, and a few memorable adventures and she delivered on every single point. Her hotel recommendation was spot on, the itinerary was seamless, and all the little touches she arranged made the experience feel personal and effortless for the whole family. What stood out most was Erica’s communication. She was proactive, responsive, and always one step ahead, making sure we were prepared and never had to worry about a thing. It felt like having a trusted friend guide the whole journey. Thanks to Erica, our Hawaii vacation was smooth, joyful, and full of family moments we’ll remember forever. I cannot recommend her highly enough and will absolutely work with her again for future travels.

It couldn’t have been easier and more seamless! Really appreciated checking in ahead of time for things like the crib and the surprise snacks and water delivered to the room, thank you, Erica!

Erica was incredible! We had no real direction on what we should do and Erica helped pull together a fabulous itinerary. She made the trip amazing! From helping with transportation to dinner/spa recommendations to a full itinerary; Erica did it all. Incredibly grateful for her help!

Booking our Italy trip with Erica made everything so easy. Our itinerary was easy to follow, and every hotel or excursion we had planned was taken care of. Being able to walk up to a hotel and the concierge already knows who we are, why we are here, and what we were celebrating was a wonderful feeling. Erica did a great job of mixing our want for boutique-style hotels for the Italian feel, as well as surprise hotels that blew us away.

A Family-Friendly Foodie Guide to Singapore
Singapore is a modern city—a mixture of cultures, good food, great shopping, beautiful gardens, and wildlife. Walking the streets with my 9-year-old felt safe and comfortable, and there was so much for him to do. It was a great place for him to experience this part of the world.

3 Nights in Lisbon, Portugal with a Family of 5
The Lisboans is in a great location. We were able to walk to a lot of locations but it was outside of the crowds and very quiet. We also enjoyed having the amenities of an apartment as well as the service of a hotel and appreciated the space of the two bedrooms with our three children.

Enjoy the Culture & Energy of Cartagena, Colombia
Having a father from Colombia, I spent my childhood traveling to Bogota and Cartagena, and have fond memories of the culture and energy of this beautiful country. Cartagena is full of energy, music, great food and wonderful people. They have done a wonderful job of preserving the Old Town within the walls, and in the last few years some of the most beautiful boutique hotels have emerged from traditional homes, while wonderful restaurants align the cobblestone streets.
