My Story
An NYC-based, research-loving traveler always planning my next adventure—or yours! I’m passionate about history, interior design, great food, and crafting itineraries that range from relaxed escapes to jam-packed days exploring a city’s culture, neighborhoods, and landmarks.
My Travel Style
I’m happiest exploring new places with the people I love, from family to friends. While I love discovering new spots and hidden gems at home in New York City, I am always dreaming of my next getaway. Whether I’m relaxing on a beach with a book and a cocktail, road-tripping to a cozy retreat, or wandering through vibrant neighborhoods and museums, I’m passionate about uncovering history, culture, and local treasures. Drawn to unique, design-forward stays, I aim to craft trips that perfectly balance exploration, relaxation, and unforgettable memories.

Jesse was a delight to work with and she was able to get us $100 food credit at the hotel, as well as $60 per person a day for breakfast which was huge and we definitely made sure to use both. She was incredibly communicative, kind, professional and helpful. On our next trip to the city, we would love to work with her again, and we are very grateful for her expertise.

Jesse is truly amazing. She planned the most wonderful trip for us. She had a handful of great hotel suggestions, but after speaking on the phone and listening to what we envisioned, she hit the nail on the head and pinpointed exactly what we were looking for. We absolutely loved The Fifth Avenue Hotel. She also narrowed down a ton of wonderful restaurant, sightseeing and activity options based on what area of the city we were going to be in. The format of the itinerary she created was easy to navigate and really helped us feel at ease going into and throughout our trip. Jesse was prompt in her communication and super helpful across the board. She provided top notch options for everything we did. I will definitely use her in the future!

Jesse went above and beyond to make sure our trip was absolutely perfect! When we first started working with her to plan our honeymoon, we weren’t even sure where we wanted to go. We shared with her a few things we were looking for - beautiful beaches, relaxing hotels, amazing food, and a vibrant atmosphere - and she came back with a curated list of destinations that fit our budget and travel style. Each option she provided came with thoughtful insights into what our experience could look like, which made it easier to actually envision ourselves there and help prioritize what we really wanted.
I was a bit indecisive at first, but Jesse was incredibly patient and supportive. Based on what we were looking for, Jesse suggested Colombia which somewhere I had never considered before but going there turned out to be one of the best travel decisions we’ve ever made. Our trip was unforgettable thanks to Jesse!
Jesse’s communication was outstanding from start to finish. She answered every question promptly, provided detailed research on the cities we’d be visiting, and shared personalized guides with hotel and restaurant recommendations. Even while we were on our trip, she remained accessible and responsive, making sure everything was going smoothly and answering in the moment questions we had.
One of the most thoughtful touches was how she coordinated with our hotels to let them know we were celebrating our honeymoon! Thanks to her, we were surprised with special treats and desserts that made us feel truly celebrated!
Jesse is an exceptional travel agent, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone planning their next trip. We can’t wait to work with her again!

Jesse was an absolute dream to work with. She created a flawless itinerary and assisted us with transportation to and from the Greek islands as well as transport while we were there. We had a wonderful time with the activities she had planned for us from a cooking class to our speed boat tour! We were nervous with this being our first out of country trip not on a resort…but Jesse made everything easy for us. I can’t wait to plan our next trip!

A Local’s Guide to Williamsburg, Brooklyn: Where to Eat, Shop, Drink & Explore
Williamsburg is one of those neighborhoods where there’s always something new to discover, from restaurants and bars to parks and street art. I love the mix of incredible food, laid-back nightlife, colorful murals, and boutique hotels that give the area its own vibe. Even after living here, I still find something different every time I go out and explore. That mix of creativity, energy, and constant change is what makes Williamsburg such a standout.

Site Inspection at Susafa in Sicily, Italy
I had the pleasure of staying at the beautiful Susafa hotel in Polizzi Generosa, Sicily during a week-long mother-daughter Sicily trip I took with my mom last summer. Susafa is a family-owned luxury hotel with a rich history that spans over 200 years, originally operating as a farm, granary and winery. Now, as a hotel, Susafa focuses on being an eco retreat for clients to immerse themselves in the culture of the Sicilian countryside. We had the most amazing experience complete with delicious food, remarkable views, a comfortable room and a warm and welcoming staff. I would absolutely love the opportunity to visit Susafa again in the future and look forward to sending clients there too.

A Taste of Sicily: One Week Itinerary
While Audrey Hepburn may say, Paris is always a good idea, I would edit that to say Italy is always a good idea - especially in the summer. Pizza, pasta, mozzarella, gelato, wine, spritzes and negronis… How could you go wrong? Besides eating, let’s not forget the phenomenal architecture, art, beaches, hotels, views, museums and shopping, etc. Located at the tip of Italy’s boot, Sicily encapsulates it all. I spent just a week dipping my toe into the vast experiences Sicily has to offer and cannot wait to go back and see more.
