My Story
Raised under the sunny skies of Southern California and now based in beautiful Bend, Oregon, I’ve always been drawn to discovery and adventure—new places, new experiences, and the unforgettable details that make travel remarkable.
With a background in event planning, fundraising, and an MBA, I’ve spent years honing the art of logistics, creativity, and connection. Today, those strengths—paired with a passion for travel and an eye for modern luxury—fuel my work as a travel advisor, where I design personalized journeys that feel both elevated and effortless.
Endlessly curious, I’m happiest when I’m deep in the details of a destination, uncovering local favorites and experiences that make a trip truly personal. For me, travel isn’t just about seeing the world—it’s about how it inspires us, connects us, and becomes part of our story.
Travel Style
I’m all about elevated fun—where beautiful design, incredible food, and a perfectly mixed cocktail meet a sense of adventure. I love immersing myself in the rhythm of a destination, whether that’s a sun-soaked beach, vibrant city streets, or a mountain trail with views you can only reach on foot.
I gravitate toward boutique hotels with personality, memorable dining, and experiences that blend luxury with authenticity. I’m equally at home exploring local cuisine, style, and culture as I am hiking or backpacking in search of those unforgettable perspectives that you can’t access any other way.
That balance of luxury, adventure, and curiosity shapes every itinerary I create: tailor-made trips designed to feel elevated, immersive, and perfectly you.

Booking with Kelly was fantastic! She recommended great hotels for us. She confirmed everything with the hotel before the trip and to ensure that they were ready for us. We got upgraded at both hotels because of using her and that was such a treat. We looking forward to working with Kelly on our next trip and refer her to all our friends!
