My Story
Type A about all things travel planning, so you don't have to be. NE Florida-based, with a deep desire to see, do, eat, and experience everything our amazing world has to offer.
I love hitting the must-see touristy spots as well as finding the hidden gems that are off the beaten trail along the way.
My Travel Style
Former big-box traveler, now boutique adventurer. I love experiencing local culture, flavors, and epic views... and I'm definitely here for all the adventurous excursions!
You can usually find me in search of something I have never seen before or trying an activity I have never done. Ultimately, I live for a jam-packed day followed by enjoying local food perfectly paired with a glass of wine.

Monica was so helpful with booking our hotel stay at the Dewberry for our favorite weekend of the year, DMB!! She gave us several options to choose from which we appreciated. And extremely helpful when we were thinking of making a last minute change and totally walked me through all of my options. Turned out we loved the Dewberry and the amenities Monica provided were perfect! Thank you so much!!

Monica was super helpful and incredibly organized throughout our entire trip planning process. From start to finish, she made everything seamless and stress-free. We had zero issues with any of our bookings, including rental cars, hotels, and even a unique glamping experience that turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. All of the activities she planned for us were well thought out and perfectly matched to our interests.
Her attention to detail and excellent time management ensured that we could truly relax and enjoy every moment without worrying about logistics. She anticipated our needs, offered great suggestions, and went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. We are so grateful for her expertise and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a perfectly organized and unforgettable travel experience!

Family-Friendly Travel to Los Angeles
California dreamin’? Southern California is a fully immersive experience like none other! Being a California native, I can attest that the sights, the history, the food and the culture are all so diverse, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. If you’re traveling with kids, there’s still so much to see and do together as a family!
