Our Story
I’m a nurse by day and a travel advisor by passion—and honestly, both jobs are just about taking care of people and getting the details exactly right. I’ve been planning trips my whole adult life not because I had to, but because I genuinely love it.
Travel Style
My specialty is nature, wilderness, and parts of the world that get overlooked. I work best with travelers who want a trip designed by a human who knows you—not an algorithm. I do the research. You show up.

Meg is the reason people should use travel advisors. I would not have gotten this trip off the ground without her help and direction. She suggested the Château Frontenac after a very enticing Instagram post and this trip took off from there. She was able to secure me a really great room rate that allowed me to extend my stay in luxury. I had never done train travel before with any success but at Meg’s suggestion I took a fabulous train for part of my journey on this trip. I have no idea how she managed it, but I had a beautiful single window seat in first class facing forward both directions. I don’t even know how trains work, but Meg made sure it was the best seat experience possible for a first time train traveler. Even gave me directions on how to navigate through the airport the the railway shuttle. No stress or coordination needed on my end. I had also never really been into organized tours before, but Meg had suggested a few that were fully vetted and she assured me were of a higher quality and she was absolutely correct. I never would have done a food/history tour without her. She made a perfect little theme for me on this trip of having “pretty cocktails in pretty places” and she absolutely delivered. Her bar and restaurant suggestions were elegant and completely picture perfect. The hotel, the train ride, the curated tour recommendations and the gorgeous bar suggestions all made this trip the epitome of luxury for me. She listened to exactly what I wanted and perfectly understood my wants and helped me pivot the trip accordingly. I will absolutely be using her services on future trips.

Meg found this gem and I could not be more grateful. She makes travel so seamless, and you arrive to a place where you can totally relax. She knocked it out of the park on this one!

Our travel to Iceland, arranged by Meg was seamless. Everything planned was an experience to remember...lunch at Frioheimar, the tomato greenhouse, the Blue Cabins in the Golden Circle and the Laugaras Lagoon Spa were magical days. Time in Reykjavik offered us time to explore Icelandic history, shop, and enjoy the flavor of the city. Meg provided us with a postcard perfect getaway!

North Adams: A Slow & Artsy Escape in the Northern Berkshires
Welcome to North Adams, a charming corner of the northern Berkshire Mountains where industrial history meets a vibrant, creative future. The 1999 opening of MASS MoCA (the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art) transformed a depressed industrial hub into a premier destination for art and nature lovers. It’s a place where you can spend your mornings hiking misty trails and your afternoons lost in world-class galleries, all while soaking in the quiet, intentional pace of life that defines this gorgeous mountain setting.

Glamping in Southern Utah: My Stay at Ofland Escalante
Glamping resorts have become my preferred way to explore nature, offering the perfect mix of comfort and the outdoors for someone like me, a former budget camper seeking both adventure and amenities. Glamping lets me stay connected to nature while enjoying upgrades like a real mattress and a private shower—features that cater to my changing needs as I approach 40. These resorts are on the rise in the US, and during a recent road trip through southern Utah, I found the ideal example at Ofland Escalante.

Beyond Broad Street: A Vegan Deep Dive into Philadelphia’s Indie Spirit, Stays & Stops
An international gem, Philadelphia shines with a blend of revolutionary history, championship sports, and a fiercely vibrant creative scene. It has rapidly become an epicenter for plant-based enthusiasts, where vegan culture thrives. Visitors can explore award-winning, high-end restaurants that consistently wow even the most skeptical omnivores. But the true soul of the city—what I cherish most—is the network of unique small businesses woven into its diverse, eminently walkable neighborhoods.
