My Story
Constantly daydreaming about and researching my next travel adventure. You'll find me anywhere there's a palm tree!
Travel Style
Howdy! I have been a travel enthusiast for as long as I can remember, starting with my first cruise at nine years old! Since then, I've traveled all over, and my passion for planning has grown. I love being a travel advisor because it combines my passion for exploring the world and helps others create unforgettable memories. Finding the best deals and uncovering hidden gems is incredibly satisfying. My favorite vacation involves a drink in one hand and a book in the other, lounging on a sandy beach with turquoise waters and swaying palm trees. I've also been known to indulge in staycations throughout the year, which can be equally enjoyable!

I needed a place to stay for two nights in Seattle proper after a work trip in the suburbs. I wanted something central to the main tourist spots but still modern and comfortable. Erica quickly found the perfect option — the Astra Hotel — at a great rate and ideal location. She even arranged free breakfast vouchers, which was an unexpected and much-appreciated bonus. Communication was clear, prompt, and personal throughout. She understood exactly what I needed and made the whole process effortless. 10/10 would use again.

San Miguel de Allende Uncovered: Where to Stay, What to Do & What to Eat
I recently returned from a visit to San Miguel de Allende, and the city completely stole my heart. Between the colorful streets, amazing food, and those sunsets that made the whole city glow... it felt magical from start to finish. But what makes San Miguel so unforgettable goes beyond its beauty. For me, San Miguel was not just a destination, it was an experience of connection—to beauty, to culture, and to a way of life that feels both timeless and alive. It’s the kind of place you leave already planning your return.
