My Story
I love designing multi-city international trips with a special love for favorites like Rome, Paris, Amsterdam, and Tokyo—bringing history, food, wine, and culture to the heart of every trip. A former teacher turned travel advisor, I turn curiosity into thoughtful, experience-driven journeys for couples and families.
Travel Style
I balance must-see highlights with the joy of getting lost, so you experience each destination as a travel, with a local perspective. Think hidden-gem hotels, neighborhood restaurants, and thoughtfully curated tours beyond the guidebook (and Google).

We had an incredible experience with the itinerary that Lindsey planned for our 10-day trip to Italy (3 days in Rome and 7 days in Tuscany). This is not the first time that Lindsey has planned a trip for our family and as expected this trip did not disappoint!
This was our first trip to Italy together as a family and we wanted to make sure our daughters got a taste of all the highlights of Rome. From start to finish, everything was expertly planned, personalized and balanced. In Rome, we were able to see the Vatican, Colosseum and other historic highlights without feeling rushed. Which was amazing for a 3-day trip! Because our trip was so seamlessly organized, it made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel smooth and enjoyable.
Tuscany was a slower trip with the perfect pace. Lindsey designed an itinerary that was perfect with a mix of charming towns, wonderful food and down time built into our schedule so we could enjoy the scenery instead of rushing from place to place.
One of the things that makes Lindsey unique is she doesn’t just provide a generic itinerary. She takes the time to find out your preferences, likes and dislikes and creates a personalized itinerary that is clearly designed with care and experience. Last, the app that Lindsey uses is AMAZING! There is nothing like opening your itinerary on your phone and having your tickets, maps and personalized instructions all in one place.
This trip to Italy was an unforgettable family experience that we will talk about forever and we are so grateful for the expertise, care and attention that Lindsey put into planning this experience for us. We cannot recommend Lindsey enough!!

Working with Lindsey to plan our Italy trip was one of the best decisions we made...hands down!!
From the very beginning, she took the time to understand exactly what we wanted: a balance of iconic sights, authentic experiences, incredible food, and just enough downtime to actually enjoy it all. She nailed every single piece...especially the tours booked through Livtours.
Every detail was thoughtfully curated—beautiful hotels in perfect locations, seamless transportation, and tours that felt elevated and personal (never cookie-cutter). We moved through Rome, Tuscany, and beyond with total ease, knowing everything had been handled.
What stood out most was how effortless she made it feel. Travel can be overwhelming, especially internationally, but Lindsey anticipated everything before we even had to ask. We were able to be fully present and soak in the experience instead of worrying about logistics. We also ended up relying heavily on the Fora Travel app, which made things incredibly easy. Having our full itinerary, tickets, and reservations all in one place took a lot of the stress out of moving from one day to the next. The added travel tips and recommendations were thoughtful and genuinely helpful throughout the trip.
This wasn’t just a trip, it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and Lindsey played a huge role in that... we can not thank her enough!!!
If you’re thinking about traveling and want it done right, with intention and care Lindsey is your person. I would recommend her a thousand times over.

We are so grateful to Lindsey for guiding us to Kimpton Hotel Fontenot. We really appreciated her insight as to the benefits of staying just a bit outside of the French Quarter - still an easy 15 minute walk but nice to end the day in a quieter part of the city. Our reservation and check in was seamless! We would not have found the Fontenot without Lindsey and we truly appreciate her working her magic to find us this gem of hotel.

Lindsey was wonderful to work with.
She was quick to respond to our initial inquiry with helpful information and booking options.
Cherry on top? Lindsey was notified of a price reduction and shared with us immediately. Her quick action saved us $120 on our booking, and we didn’t have to lift a finger. After confirming we wanted the lower price, Lindsey took care of the rest.
We will definitely be repeat customers!

Lindsey did a great job coordinating Shinkansen tickets, hotel and private driver/guide to the Jigokudani Monkey Park. Without our guide's knowledge of best times to visit the park, we would have missed seeing the monkeys. Lindsey made this experience seamless!

Beyond the Canals: Venice and the Lagoon Islands With Teens
Italy is overflowing with art and history, and Venice is no exception. The most rewarding way to experience it as a family, especially with teens, is to strike a thoughtful balance: one day immersed in the energy and grandeur of central Venice, followed by two days exploring the quieter lagoon islands. Shifting from iconic landmarks to boat rides, colorful villages, and relaxed waterfront meals keeps the pace engaging without feeling overwhelming. That rhythm of culture and calm is what makes Venice truly work for families.
