My Story
A very detailed and organized travel planner. Based in New Jersey with a love of exploring new destinations.
Travel Style
You can usually find me learning about what makes that city so unique and fully immersing myself in the culture and history. Although, I usually have a full day of exploration planned, I still find time to sit and relax with a glass of wine and enjoy delicious cuisine.
I love travel that is full of learning but also enjoy relaxing vacations on the beach.
