Profile details
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. 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. I often plan my day around what I will be eating and drinking - there's not better way to explore a place than through it's cuisine!
