About
I am either on a trip or planning one and sometimes both at once. I love exploring big cities as much as deserted beaches. A mother of two and an advertising executive, I find joy in making people happy, surprised and fulfilled through travel planning and travel styling.
The daughter of parents who went anywhere and everywhere in a car, sometimes driving across the country and sometimes driving 24 hours at a time. Because of that, I always longed for plane rides and faraway places and moved to NYC to study fashion for college. I’ve lived in NYC, Brisbane, Brooklyn, Santa Monica, Malibu, North Shore of Kauai, Cabo, Phoenix and Manhattan Beach and have local insights to each of those destinations.

Travel style
I personally seek both sunrises and sunsets on vacation and usually weave in some type of moderate adventure and the best food/drinks a destination has to offer. I have no worries about hanging in a robe for days at a spa but my real passion is planning my vacation outfits months in advance.
I've planned couples trips, girls trips, guys trips, family trips, bachelor/bachelorette weekends and more. The trips I plan depend entirely on the trip-taker(s) but can include nothing but relaxing, spa and dinner to an exploration of the nooks of a city, finding the non-touristy must-dos and a night out on the town. While I love a healthy budget (who doesn’t?) I also love the challenge of giving someone a splurge of a vacation on a small one. My obsession with travel styling/outfit planning goes back to my fashion roots and is both a talent and something I’m sought out for.

Communication was timely and clear! Seamless transition from airport to hotels, which was so appreciated. The upgrade was awesome and the little note and treat in the hotel were so kind. The whole experience was great!
