My Story
The resident planner of the friend group and a proponent of always having a trip to look forward to. The excitement and anticipation of a trip (big or small) is good for the soul.
Travel Style
I’m a planner who likes to have a well-thought-out itinerary for every trip, even if I don’t always stick to it, ensuring I have backup options for when the “what now?” moments arise. I thrive on a go-go-go pace, with a few relaxing breaks to recharge, as I want to make the most of my time in a place I may not return to. I love venturing off the beaten path to discover hidden gems and unique experiences that aren’t on every tourist’s radar, and I always make it a point to experience local dining experiences, as it’s a key part of understanding the culture. While I enjoy traveling on a budget, I’m not afraid to splurge on special moments when they feel worth it.

Working with Kelley to book the Virtu Suites, along with the rest of our itinerary, was a phenomenal experience. She was so helpful in fielding all of our questions and preferences to find us the perfect accommodations and reservations for our trip. Without Kelley's expertise, patience, and depth in helping us compare and choose options, we would not have had the incredible trip that we did.

Nice, France: A Girls Trip Fan Favorite
Nice was honestly one of the biggest surprises of my entire South of France trip—and in the best way. We saved it for the end after Cannes and St. Tropez, and if I’m being honest, I expected it to be my least favorite…but it completely proved me wrong. I ended up loving it so much, and it felt like the perfect place to wrap up the trip. After the glamour of Cannes and the high energy of St. Tropez, I felt like Nice brought everything back down to a more relaxed, effortless pace without losing any of the beauty or charm. I loved how the Old Town felt—small, colorful, and almost like a little Italian village—but then you step just outside of it and there’s so much more to explore, from the coastline to the newer parts of the city. It felt incredibly walkable, easy, and just really enjoyable to be in.

Rosé & Reservations: The Ultimate Guide to St. Tropez
St. Tropez is one of those places that hit me the second I arrived—I remember thinking, okay, this is exactly what people mean when they talk about the South of France. The energy, the glamour, the whole scene… it really does live up to everything you imagine. What stood out to me most, though, was the contrast. I’d be walking through these charming, almost sleepy-feeling streets, but also surrounded by some of the most elevated luxury I’ve ever experienced. That mix of laid-back beauty and over-the-top indulgence is what made it feel so special to me—and honestly, unlike anywhere else I’ve been.

It sets the tone for what’s to come, whether you’re continuing on to St. Tropez or heading toward Nice. What makes Cannes so special is how effortlessly it blends beach club luxury, walkable city energy, and iconic Riviera charm all in one place.
