About
A travel-obsessed midwestern mom with a passion for food and wine, gorgeous hotels, and sunsets at the beach. A relentless researcher and planner, I love to find the best restaurants, cultural experiences, and hidden gems that make a trip truly special.

Travel style
I love the thrill of experiencing new places, but I also have my favorite go-to spots where I can slip easily into relaxation. I enjoy a mix of laid-back beach vacations and culture-packed globe-trotting adventures. As a former teacher, I have a thirst for learning, an obsessive attention to detail, and a passion for planning experiences that children and adults will enjoy. My agenda is always packed, but loosely held to ensure that I am prepared for the day, but open to unexpected joys. When I travel, you will find me taking long walks, dining in great restaurants, exploring all the shops, and soaking in the culture and history of a place. I have found that the best adventures are those that skim the touristy stops and focus instead on exploring neighborhoods and cultural sites like a local.

Erica was great and got our room upgraded. She let us know about the special Mother’s Day brunch. She helped with making the trip stress free!

I am so thankful Erica helped us find Hotel Magdalena! She was amazing to work with and I had total confidence we were going to have a perfect trip because of her help. She set us up with extra perks - like food credit and late check-out, which made our stay even better and provided some of her own personal recommendations from her time in Austin. I can't wait to plan another trip with Erica's help!

Erica was incredible - from recommending activities and travel tips, to finding us the perfect accommodations - we had an incredible NYC visit that hit iconic highlights as well as things that were special for my daughter and I. A trip that was special and will be remembered forever - we will be back, Erica!
