Travel style
I always want to experience the best of each place I visit, so I do all my research beforehand so I can relax, be present and enjoy the experience as soon as I land. But I always leave room for the unexpected and spontaneous. There's nothing like meeting locals who share hidden gems and I seek out the best accommodation, the most delicious food and wine, the most amazing views and the most unforgettable experiences. I try to strike a balance between exploring hidden gems, seeing all the sights and lazy days with no agenda!

Heather's reviews
As for our travel planner Heather—she’s a total gem. I’m an event planner and she’s helped many of my clients before, but this was my first time using her for a personal trip and she crushed it. From walking us through resort options to sharing honest, helpful feedback, she was incredibly responsive and lovely to work with.
The only hiccup was our return airport transfer didn’t show (the company claimed they did, but nope). Heather immediately jumped in to help resolve it, though we ended up grabbing a cab ourselves. Not her fault, and she handled it like a pro.
All in all—five stars across the board. This trip was unforgettable and Heather made it all so easy. Can’t wait to book the next one!

Heather is an excellent travel advisor. Efficient, thorough and just a great personality to work with. It really helped us considering this was our first cruise experience! You can trust Heather with all of your travel plans!
