About
Cultural experiences rooted in food and drink, and the occasional luxury thrown in. SF-based, doing life with my wife and dog. A little type-A goes a long way.
Travel style
Thoughtful planning meets spontaneity – I have a deep love for google spreadsheets but also believe in leaving room to explore. I’m drawn to comfortable and beautifully designed hotels, unique food and drink and lived-in cultural experiences.

Marissa's reviews
I can't recommend Marissa enough - she was the BEST! She was extremely helpful and thorough in her recommendations when helping us book our honeymoon. She offered up multiple options at varying price ranges and really took the time needed to understand what we were hoping for and what would work best in terms of our end-to-end honeymoon planning. Every place that we booked with Marissa was beyond amazing, and she sent personal touches like special gifts and notes throughout our trip that meant a lot to us. It was the best trip of our lives, and we have Marissa to thank!!

We were beyond impressed with Marissa’s recommendations, planning skills, and incredible connections!! I’ve been recommending her expertise and Fora Advisors to absolutely everyone we’ve told about our vacation, and can’t say enough good things about our experience. We’d never been to Thailand and had no idea where to start, and she came in with the perfect experience and perspective to guide us through the process of planning the vacation of our dreams, while taking into account all of our requests and preferences. From narrowing down our destination cities and sourcing on-point hotel recommendations to hooking us up with the best restaurants and curated private tours, we were constantly raving and marveling at how wonderfully orchestrated every step of our experience was during our entire week there. She even stayed in touch throughout our trip for any real-time assistance we may have needed, which was truly above and beyond and so very appreciated. Marissa made all the difference in our travel experience, and we can’t thank her enough for putting together every detail of what I’m sure will always be one of our favorite trips together. We had the most wonderful time, and will never forget it as the first international adventure we got to take together as a couple — so a HUGE thank you to Marissa and Fora Advisors for blowing us away. We’ll definitely be working with Marissa again, and are already talking with friends and family who are thinking about upcoming travels and we know could benefit from her expertise too!!

Marissa was SO helpful!! She provided us multiple hotel options and rates based on our preferences. She even went above and beyond to coordinate with the hotel to have a welcome gift and upgrade our room. 10/10 recommend!!

Marissa was amazing. Literally took the most barebones inputs and gave us so much optionality to discuss but in a way that was clear and not overwhelming. This was our first vacation as a family so we were apprehensive and frankly didn’t know how it would pan out but she did a fantastic job. Made sure to ask for things that we didn’t even think of (like a car seat for the airport transfer and crib for the room…whoops). We will be seeking Marissa’s input on every major vacay from now on. She’s our travel guru.
