About
Born in Boston and have lived/worked in NYC, DC, South Africa and the Bay Area. Now raising a family in California wine country, surrounded by vineyards and Michelin-starred restaurants.
Travel style
Attentive planner who squares big details in advance, so that I can relax and go-with-the-flow when I arrive. Intrinsically curious about the world, I have an insatiable appetite for thoughtful travel, beautiful hotels, local wine and moments when my kids are at peace by the ocean. I relish any travel that is a break from routine, creates memories and opens eyes (big and small) to new possibilities.

Mandy's reviews
I cannot speak highly enough of our experience booking with Mandy. From start to finish, the communication was clear, prompt, and professional. Our travel preferences were taken into account every step of the way, ensuring that our stay exceeded our expectations. Not only did Mandy secure a reservation at the highly sought-after Amar restaurant when it seemed all booked otherwise, but she also provided valuable recommendations that enhanced my overall experience. Thanks to Mandy, we were able to enjoy a seamless and stress-free staycation in Boston. I greatly appreciate her expertise and dedication to ensuring that every aspect of our trip was perfect.

Mandy is the best! She was responsive and prompt with our questions while we were planning this trip to Miami. She helped us narrow down the overwhelming amount of hotels to a few places and then helped guide us with regard to value and interests. She was so easy to work with and made the entire experience so relaxing. I would recommend her to everyone!

She is awesome! She took all the guess work out of planning and was the one who suggested we look at PR rather than FL as we originally planned. SO grateful.
