Profile details

About

I am a curious traveler and love historic details. Traveling is my passion. When I travel somewhere new, I like to dig into the small and unique details. I’ve traveled with my children, my extended family and friends. My friends and family have always asked for my advice on what to do and where to stay when they travel. I am excited to put my passion into making forever memories for others!

Travel style

I'm primarily focused on boutique hotels that are in the center of major European cities as well as house rentals. I love to work with people to understand their objectives and plan accordingly.
