My Story
Former Ad Executive who is fueled by a love of helping people and a personal passion for travel. Having explored over 30 countries and most US states, my goal is to help people feel at home, anywhere.
My Travel Style
I'm a versatile traveler who is equally at home on long-haul international journeys and spontaneous road trips, but three things are a must:
1. Unique places to stay: Whether it's an eco-friendly treehouse in Tulum, a hotel inside a brewery in Columbus, a serene villa in Tuscany or a pyramid-view hotel in Cairo, I'm all about finding the perfect place to fully experience a destination.
2. Eating and drinking like a local: From street food tours to cooking classes, Michelin-starred tasting menus to dive bars, I love to taste my way around and immerse myself in the local food culture.
3. Scenic beauty: Be it the best beaches and pools, charming vineyards or captivating cityscapes, I seek out picturesque scenery to create unforgettable memories (and photos!).

Jackie looks after us every single time nothing is ever too much trouble. She always finds us the best places to stay, and the extra perks and in-room credits she arranges really make a difference. It’s such a treat booking through her we always know everything will be taken care of perfectly.

Jacqueline was always a step ahead of our needs. Before we actually started planning she talk with us about what we wanted to do and the type of experience we wanted to have as this was our first trip to the south of France and to Paris. As a result, she understood us as travelers and she had a real sense of who we were and what we wanted experience. She made excellent choices for our accommodations and every detail was taken care of including transportation, accommodations, recommendations on restaurants, as well as cultural and tourist attractions. The hotel accommodations were lovely choices. She provided inside information that only somebody with experience would really know about and she responded quickly throughout the planning process. She made sure that we had all information at our fingertips. Once we took off, we never looked back and we never had the need to contact Jacqueline during our stay because everything was perfect. It was such an absolute pleasure to work with her and I highly recommend her as a travel advisor. In fact, I have already recommended her to others and I plan to use her in the future.

Thank you so much for your help with planning my husband’s birthday trip and making it so special! Jacqueline really went above and beyond — the ample details she provided and over communication made everything so seamless. The boat trip that she arranged was truly a highlight of the trip. Our group had the best time…and I highly recommend Half Moon Eclipse!!! The accommodations are outstanding and the service is truly white glove. On the Eclipse side they provide a team of two butlers to assist you each day…we didn’t quite know what to do with them. True luxury! An unforgettable 50th birthday celebration!

An Off-Season Guide to the Hamptons & Montauk
When I think of the Hamptons, I think of pristine beaches, stunning homes, wonderful restaurants, luxurious spas, great shopping, delicious farm stands, wineries and peaceful walks. Having lived there year-round, I came to appreciate the charm of the off-season. It's more laid-back and quiet, but there's still plenty to do – you can easily get into the best restaurants, enjoy the beaches without a permit, and find more affordable hotel stays.
