A NYC-based jetsetter who is always planning her next trip!
Travel Style
I blend luxury with a touch of practicality when I travel. I love indulging in high-end experiences, but I also enjoy balancing my trips with budget-friendly options to make the most of my travel funds. Some of my favorite nights on trips are casual evenings, where I can explore local spots, try different cuisines and soak in the atmosphere of the destination. I aim to take several trips a year, maximizing every moment in each destination. Whether it’s exploring vibrant cities or lounging on pristine beaches, I thrive on discovering new places and making each journey as seamless and enriching as possible.

Working with Nora was fantastic. She was able to recommend many options for hotel stays and locations to consider. She was invaluable in securing excellent tickets for various events that might otherwise be inaccessible to visitors trying to access tickets on their own. She had great recommendations for how to split up our travel across cities and provided many helpful tips that made our experience better as we navigated new locations and experiences. We would absolutely work with Nora again.

Nora was awesome to work with, just like the previous time we booked a stay through her. She was able to match the discounted rate the hotel's website was offering to book direct while also including a whole host of other complimentary benefits (welcome drink, tote bag, early check in / late checkout, F&B and breakfast credits) -- which definitely elevated our experience. On top of that, she went above and beyond to help me get in touch with the hotel to plan a special private dinner on the beach, which was an incredible experience and seamless to organize because of Nora!

We highly recommend Nora for a travel advisor! She planned and coordinated a fantastic family trip to Mexico for us! She is very knowledgeable about locations and resorts. She answered all our questions quickly and effectively, and checked in with us all along the way. Thanks to Nora, we had a memorable trip!

Punta Cana’s Hidden Gem: A Low-Key, High-End Retreat
Puntacana Resort & Club is a quiet, private side of Punta Cana that feels different from the usual resorts. The villas are spacious and staffed, so you can focus on relaxing or spending time with your group. I liked that it combines privacy with easy access to activities like beach clubs, golf, tennis, and the nature reserve. It is a place where you can do as much or as little as you want.

A Quick Guide to Chiang Mai: What to Do in a Few Days
Chiang Mai was such a special stop on our honeymoon. We were only there for a few days, but it had this peaceful energy that really stuck with us. We stayed at 137 Pillars, which felt like a quiet little escape tucked right into the city. Between the temples, the food, the elephants, and just hanging out at the hotel, it was the perfect place to slow down and reset before the next adventure.

Scooters, Street Food & Sky Views: Our Hanoi Adventure
Hanoi is a beautiful mix of chaos and calm, with scooters zipping by, peaceful lakes, and street food around every corner. We wandered through the Old Quarter, ate countless bowls of pho, and felt completely immersed in the culture. It was the perfect combination of adventure and romance, and I cannot wait to go back someday to explore more of Vietnam.
