Travel Style
I’m passionate about creating trips that celebrate love in all its forms—engagements, honeymoons, anniversaries, or simply the joy of being together. My goal is to make life’s most meaningful milestones feel effortless and unforgettable. I gravitate toward luxury experiences that blend relaxation, romance, and a touch of adventure, from iconic dream destinations to hidden gems that invite you to slow down, indulge, and truly connect.

Megan could not have been better to work with as our travel advisor! She found a hotel meeting exactly our requests (plenty of pool space and lounge chairs by the pool and by the beach, with in-hotel dining and views from our room) and was exceptionally responsive both before and during our stay checking to make sure our check in process was smooth! I will be recommending her to all of my friends for future travel planning.

There aren’t enough stars to give our travel advisor Megan. Her recommendations were beyond our expectations and the price point below our expectations. She planned our week-long Portugal trip with less than a weeks notice! We had an itinerary every day that included scheduled activities, tours, and restaurant reservations. And even plenty of downtime for relaxations. We were in Lisbon for a few days, followed by. A last minute trip to the Duro Valley complete with a private dived, a beautiful home we were able to rent and a chef there cooking dinner for us as we arrived. We visited 3 other cities that week and didn’t have to think about a thing. She scheduled everything for us. And she was available to us 24/7 and responded immediately if we ever needed her. I’ve told her numerous times since that I will never make any travel plans without her again. We cannot recommend Megan enough!

Megan made our travel experience so great and easy, whether it be the hotel or visiting the Disney parks. Booking a trip to Disney seemed very overwhelming for first time visitors here help saved us time and made our truth go smoothly. She made every moment memorable during our vacation. Communication was great from beginning to end. Thank you, Megan!!

Lisbon, Porto & The Douro Valley: How to Spend a Week in Portugal
Portugal is a year-round destination known for its exceptional food, wine (and port!), rich culture, and layered history. Whether you arrive with a thoughtfully planned itinerary or prefer to explore as you go, it’s an easy and rewarding place to navigate. Ideal for a long weekend from the East Coast or a more immersive, longer journey across the country, Portugal offers flexibility without sacrificing depth. Having experienced it both ways, each trip feels entirely its own, and equally memorable.

Paris in the Spring
I love any excuse to go to Paris—whether it’s a family vacation, a long weekend with a partner, or a quick getaway with friends. It really does offer everything: incredible food, beautiful views, great shopping, nightlife, and so much history layered throughout the city. You can lean into the classics or explore a different neighborhood every time and it still feels new. Spring, in particular, feels like the city at its best—with gardens in bloom and mild weather that make it an ideal time to visit.

The Perfect Girls' Weekend in London
My sisters and I were craving a girls’ weekend, and London was the perfect choice with its incredible food scene, shopping, theatre, and easy access from the East Coast. In just 48 hours, we squeezed in afternoon tea, shopping on Bond Street, a stop by The Black Dog (of course), and a show in the West End. The perfect long-weekend getaway.

A First Timer's Guide to Tokyo
I fell in love with Japan the moment I arrived. The precision and modern energy of Tokyo instantly drew me in, while centuries-old traditions and historic sites sit just steps from its bustling streets. Some of the best meals I’ve ever had were simple bites under $5, followed the next night by a Michelin-star kaiseki dinner—the contrast is what makes Japan so uniquely special. After just a few days there, I was already planning my next trip.
