My Story

Hey there! I’m Karen, a Jersey girl living in Dallas with a nomadic heart and a love for every place I go. As an interior designer with a deep love for the arts, I see the world through a creative lens, always on the hunt for hidden gems, boutique stays, vibrant culture, and awe-inspiring nature. From colorful street corners to chic hotel lobbies, I blend design, adventure, and soul into every journey. My passion for travel and the arts allows me to craft one-of-a-kind experiences that feel like magic curated just for you. Whether it’s sipping coffee in a tucked-away café or hiking to a breathtaking view, I’m all about turning travel into something unforgettable.

My Travel Style

I specialize in solo travel (I know the thrill of exploring on your own!), but I’m also a proud mom to a teenager, so I totally get the joy and the chaos of traveling with kids. Whether it’s a peaceful solo escape, a fun-filled family adventure, or a romantic getaway with your person, I’m here to help you plan a trip that feels like you. Think boutique hotels with charm, soulful adventures that leave you speechless, and nature that stirs something deep. From couples looking to reconnect to moms needing a recharge, I create curated experiences that are stylish, inspiring, and just the right amount of spicy. My love for the arts and travel lets me turn every itinerary into a vibe—layered with beauty, intention, and a little magic. Let’s make your next trip feel like a masterpiece.
