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 invaluable in helping my family of 12 plan a two-week trip to the Philippines! She was very communicative, respectful of our budget, had great insight to the local area and ensured we had all the on-the-ground support we needed to enjoy our trip. My family kept giving me all the credit for having details figured out, but the truth is that Gabbie had done it all for us so we could have a fun, relaxing and memorable trip that we'll talk about for the rest of our lives. She genuinely cares that you and your family have a great trip and will do everything in her power to make it so!

The best of the best! I had no idea how thorough planning through Gabbie would be. She went above and beyond and made my girls trip go off without a hitch! I don’t know how I’ll ever travel without her!

My experience with Gabbie was wonderful! I provided her with an idea of the type of trip I wanted and she asked thoughtful questions to make sure the options she provided were well suited to what I was looking for. Her communications were warm, kind, timely and clear! She remained available for any additional questions I had before and after booking. I would absolutely use her again and will recommend her to friends!

My family of three planned a road trip up the scenic California coast to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. I looked to Gabbie for help with booking our accommodations, She made the process extremely easy and convenient. I gave her the cities where we planned on staying overnight and she immediately had hotel recommendations that fit our needs and budget. We stayed at The Landsby in Solvang and enjoyed the boutique feel of this charming hotel. We were pleasantly surprised by a lovely note left for us from Gabbie when we checked into our room. This small touch truly made the beginning of our road trip feel so personalized. Our next hotel stay was at the Monterey Beach Hotel in Monterey. The location of the hotel was conveniently located in close proximity to the attractions and landmarks that we planned to visit. I would definitely consult with Gabbie for any future travel plans. Her knowledge and expertise are unparalleled and saved me a ton of time and energy researching and reading reviews.

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.
