My Travel Style
For me, the best trips unfold like love stories—full of charm, discovery, and unforgettable moments that linger long after you return home. In my dream life, I’m wandering sun-drenched cobblestone streets, gelato in hand, pausing to read every historical plaque I pass. I’m drawn to places with a story—faded frescoes, family-run trattorias, and salt air that carries centuries of secrets. My honeymoon in Northern Italy sparked my obsession with travel planning—not just the logistics, but the storytelling of it all. These days, I balance my love for old towns and coastal escapes with the wide-eyed wonder of exploring alongside my family. I’m happiest with no real plan, stumbling into hidden gardens or the perfect local wine bar. I love a moody coastal breeze just as much as a sunlit piazza. My husband thrives in wide-open nature; my son loves the city buzz. I find magic in both—but my heart beats hardest for the romantic in-between. I travel to feel something—connected, curious, a little undone in the best way. Wherever I go, I travel to connect: with the past, with a place, with the people I love. It’s never just about the destination. It’s about how it makes you feel.

Mackenzie helped make this trip EXACTLY what we wanted to be! We went into this process with very few ideas of what we actually wanted to do, and Mackenzie came to the table again and again with great ideas and recommendations that made our trip so fantastic and memorable.

Makenzie made it so easy booking a hotel! We told her exactly what we wanted and she put together a list of places very fast for us. She found ways for us to save money for our short trip which was really nice considering I’m really bad at doing my own research! Will be coming to her for future bookings!

Makenzie was so helpful with booking my stay and transportation in Miami! She took my needs, wants and personal style into consideration and found the perfect accommodations for me! The location, quality and care of the New Yorker Hotel was exceptional! Makenzie made me feel like I could travel with ease and I will definitely be using her services in the future!
