My Story
I’m a luxury travel advisor with a deep love for design-forward hotels, slow travel, and the kind of experiences that stay with you long after you’ve unpacked. My clients’ journeys take them off the beaten path—from artisan studios in Kyoto to mobile camps in the Serengeti—all in search of beauty, meaning, and connection. If you’re interested in soulful stays, considered itineraries, cultural exploration, and finding out what it means to travel well in a fast world, you’re in the right place.
Travel Style
If you’re planning a honeymoon, mini-moon, baby-moon, you deserve to be over-the-moon about your once-in-a-lifetime trip. I see travel as the great connector, inviting curiosity and compassion to those who seek it. Off-the beaten path, hyper-local, and wellness-focused travel is my jam. I’m hotel-obsessed and tend to structure my trips around food (I can tell you where to find the best street tacos in Mexico City) and drink (hit me up for my favorite Negroni in Florence and Flat White in Paris). Time off is a rare gift—I treat it as such, and I look forward to making your travels memorable and meaningful.

A special shoutout to Jordan Schack at Fora Travel, who helped plan the trip and elevated the entire experience. Jordan is incredibly thorough, detail-oriented, and always takes the time to make thoughtful recommendations that truly fit what you’re looking for in a vacation. From the planning stage to final touches, everything felt seamless and well thought out.
This was our third time working with Jordan, and each trip has been just as smooth and enjoyable as the last. Having someone who anticipates the details and makes the planning process effortless makes a huge difference. We’re already looking forward to booking our next vacation with him.

Easy! Jordan was super responsive and creative. Even more so, Jordan really understood our needs early on, relieving the stress of planning our honeymoon while also planning the wedding. We’re excited to work with him again for other trips!

Jordan was great to work with as always. He worked to find us a great hotel option within our budget that was perfect for exploring Belfast. We were greeted with complimentary local chocolates and treats, and got an extra level of service from the hotel.

A Complete Guide to Mexico's Culinary Capital: Oaxaca
You know that place that you've been to that you just can't get out of your head? Maybe it's an unforgettable meal you ate, memory you created, adventure you had. Maybe it's all three. For me, that place is Oaxaca. A buzzy travel destination in 2023, Oaxaca had been calling me for a while after checking off other highly recommended Mexican hotspots (Mexico City, Valle de Guadalupe and San Miguel de Allende). Finally, after making it to the proclaimed "Food and Drink Capital of Mexico," I'm here to unequivocally accept that title and compel you to make Oaxaca your next bucket list travel destination.

A Rain or Shine Guide to the Windy City: Chicago, Illinois
Visit Chicago this July and you'll get why some people say that a summer in Chicago is the best season in the world (it is). The city that I call home goes toe to toe with the best in the world, blending international flair with local charm, Michelin star restaurants with dive bars slinging hand made tamales. Chicago has forged its unique identity, filled with Midwestern charm, a food scene second to none and world-class attractions. Come for the deep dish, fall in love with the architecture, but don't you dare put ketchup on your hotdog.
