I’ve been passionate about luxury hotels and travel ever since I was first upgraded with my dad on a United P.S. flight from JFK to SFO. Sitting in business class changed everything ... I knew I never wanted to go back. That early upgrade kicked off a lifelong obsession with miles, points, and premium travel experiences. Over the years, I’ve been lucky to explore everywhere from Portugal to Italy to New Zealand (and beyond) and have stayed at some pretty incredible hotels—often with amazing perks, thanks to programs like AMEX Fine Hotels & Resorts, Four Seasons Preferred Partners, & Virtuoso. After years of thinking about it, I’ve officially launched my own luxury travel advising business. I’ll be helping friends and family get the absolute most out of their trips—with VIP upgrades, daily breakfast, spa credits, and more—at no additional cost to you. Whether it’s a suite upgrade at Four Seasons Tamarindo, a $100 spa credit at Solage Calistoga, or knowing which resort actually has the best pool (and fewest kids), I’m here to help you plan smarter, travel better, and make it unforgettable. From the sun-soaked Algarve coast to chic castles in Provence, and the cliffside resorts of Cabo, I’ve spent years exploring the best luxury hotels so you don’t have to.
