Our Story
Former travel nurse turned travel advisor (and still a labor & delivery nurse!) based in sunny San Diego, CA. Growing up with two hoteliers as parents sparked my lifelong curiosity for exploring the world—and gave me a talent for finding truly exceptional hotels. I’m a foodie, frequent beachgoer, and aspiring travel photographer, always seeking my next adventure, whether close to home in SoCal or somewhere across the globe. You can usually find me exploring with my Fujifilm camera in hand, capturing the beauty of each destination I visit.
Travel Style
Consider me your Type A travel bestie. I’ve explored across the U.S. and visited more than 20 countries (and counting!), mostly throughout Europe and Asia. Whenever I travel somewhere new, I dive deep into the local culture—learning its history, art, nature, and food. My itineraries are thoughtfully planned yet leave room for spontaneous wandering—because some of the best memories come from discovering hidden gems and local favorites off the beaten path.
I truly believe there’s no better way to enrich your life than by stepping outside your comfort zone and exploring someplace new. Travel should be both purposeful and personal. I love crafting adventurous, fun, and culturally immersive experiences for couples and small groups. I also love curating stays that feel like a home away from home—pairing clients with boutique-luxury hotels that reflect their unique style and travel personality.
Whether you’re dreaming of a relaxing weekend getaway, celebrating a special occasion, or planning a multi-city adventure across the globe, I’ll help you plan an unforgettable trip that feels uniquely you. So let’s get that trip booked!

Gabbie was wonderful and took care of everything with ease. She was able to check off all our boxes which made it so much easier and stress-free for us. While planning this long international vacation it was really helpful to utilize Gabbie’s expertise! I highly recommend her and can’t wait to plan another getaway. Thanks Gabbie!!

Booking with Gabbie was seamless and very professional. She was highly responsive, and her hotel suggestions were well presented and thoughtfully curated. She also checked in before our arrival to ensure everything was anticipated and smooth. Her attention to detail made the entire experience stress-free, and I would gladly book with her again!

Gabbie was such a great travel advisor! She helped me through everything, and scheduled everything for me. All I had to do was tell her where I wanted to go and when. She gave me different options and gave me pros and cons of each location. I would love to book with Gabbie again!

You can tell Gabbie truly enjoys what she does because our entire booking and travel adventure was an unforgettable experience!
Gabbie took the time to call me from the beginning of planning to have a better understanding of what my personal interests and necessities were. As a result, Gabbie perfectly matched multiple hotels for me to choose from. For planning my itinerary, Gabbie considered my ‘‘must do’s’’ but I really appreciated her recommendations that I was able to do on my trip as well. In fact, there were quite a few helpful tips that Gabbie included that I wouldn’t have known for my trip and would have been lost if it weren’t for Gabbie! I will be reaching out to Gabbie again for my next adventure!

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.
