My Story
Former travel nurse, and now a travel advisor based in sunny San Diego, CA (but deeply rooted in Austin, TX and the Philippines). I'm a food enthusiast, frequent beach goer, and aspiring travel photographer. I'm always seeking adventure whether in SoCal or across the world, and you can always find me exploring any place with my Fujifilm camera in hand.
My Travel Style
Consider me your Type A travel bestie. I've traveled all over the US and visited more than 20 countries, mostly in Europe and Asia. When I travel to a new place, I always have the intention of learning the local culture, history, art, nature and food. While most of my itinerary is packed with planned sightseeing and activities, I also take the time to just wander around leisurely. Some of the best memories I made were finding hidden gems off the beaten path and authentic spots beloved by locals.
I truly believe there is no better way to enrich your life than stepping outside of your comfort zone and exploring someplace new. Traveling should be purposeful. I enjoy planning individualized, balanced and culturally immersive trips for intimate groups, couples and solo travelers. I always strive for a luxury/boutique vibe, without breaking the bank. High-value experiences don't always have to be at a high price! Whether it's a relaxing weekend getaway, a special occasion staycation, or a multi-city trip to an international bucket-list destination, I can curate unique experiences and help you plan the trip of your dreams. Let's go see the world!

This was the first time we used a travel agent and Gabbie did not disappoint. She was so thorough, answered all our questions/concerns, and was quick to respond. She provided us with all the top local spots to eat and views to see that we would never have found on our own. She provided a packing list, parking info, traffic times, a whole list of things to do in our area, places to eat, and so much helpful information that allowed us to have a flawless family trip. She even helped us find a rental car from the airport. Gabbie handled all the reservations and was even ready to change our plans to accommodate the crazy weather we faced. All the restaurants she booked for us were fantastic but our favorite was Cesarina in San Diego with their homemade pasta and table side tiramisu that came with a polaroid picture and the most unique atmosphere. She took us to unforgettable views - La Jolla Cove sea lions, Sunset Cliffs trail, the beautiful Torry Pines beach/mountain walk. In summary, Gabbie goes above and beyond and I'm so thankful I decided to reach out her.

We absolutely had an amazing time! Thank you thank you so much!! We enjoyed our hotel stay at Deos in Mykonos the most… absolutely breathtaking views and the rooms were so spacious. Plus the private pool & sun bed… the luxurious bathtub was oversized. Luxury at its finest there!! Our 2nd favorite was the Andronis Acadia hotel in Santorini. It was beautiful as well with spacious rooms. It was everything I thought I thought it would be!!! Up close breathtaking views of Santorini in the background!! The catamaran sail was another true HIT!! Total relaxation and good vibes. Gabbie, You did an awesome job getting this trip booked for us!! Thank you again!!!

Thanks Gabbie for the hook up! She heard my dates, found options then helped me narrow it down to what we needed. The process was so easy and she managed to get us an upgrade in room and great perks at the resort. Can't wait to book with you again!

Gabbie recommended the Del Coronado after listening to the kind of family vacation we wanted including concerns over traveling long-distance with a nearly 2-year-old. She recommended special things we could take advantage of as well such as s’mores on the beach and the best massages my wife and daughter ever had. She even got involved when there was a question regarding a hotel package that was purchased. Truly a blessing to have selected Gabbie to advise us for this family vacation.

Site Inspection at Austin Proper Hotel
I have been fortunate enough to call Austin, Texas home for 14 years before moving out to Southern California. I first visited one of the Proper hotels for a Fora Advisor event at the Santa Monica Proper. I loved the hotel's unique look. Apart from the three Proper hotels in California, I learned there was also one located in my own hometown across the street from where I grew up watching concerts and taking ballet classes, and I just knew I had to see it firsthand. The Austin Proper is where 5-star luxury meets Texan charm. As a former Austin local, it is my top pick for accommodations when visiting the Music Capital of the World.
