My Story

Originally from Denver, Colorado, and now based in Venice, California, my love for travel started at 17 when I moved to Mexico City for a modeling contract. Living abroad at such a young age gave me a lifelong appreciation for new cultures, and I was hooked. Since then, I’ve explored 20+ countries (solo, with family, with friends, and working remotely), always chasing experiences that go beyond the typical tourist path.

During college at CU Boulder, I studied abroad in Milan and spent a summer as an au pair in Madrid. My time in Milan was transformative. I ended up launching my own handbag brand there called Vogelle, with manufacturers in Milan, and spent a lot of time immersed in Italian culture, design, and craftsmanship while traveling extensively in Italy and around Europe.

Over the years, I’ve become the go-to travel planner for friends and family, helping them craft trips that feel authentic, seamless, and unforgettable. I love uncovering hidden gems, connecting with locals, and designing journeys that leave you inspired.

Travel Style

I like to travel for long stretches, fully immersing myself in a place rather than just passing through. I seek experiences that let me live like a local. Wandering markets, chatting with residents, and discovering hidden corners. Don’t get me wrong, I also love the occasional luxe escape. For me, travel is about truly experiencing a country, its culture, and its people, not just checking off sights. Every trip is an opportunity to connect, learn, and come home with more than just photos.
