My Story
Fueled by a love for travel and a knack for uncovering off-the-radar gems, I bring years of firsthand experience exploring Europe. With over 18 years in hospitality as a former Director of Sales, I combine deep industry knowledge, global connections, and digital marketing expertise to craft tailored, unforgettable journeys for Fora’s well-traveled clients.
My Travel Style
I’ve been fortunate to explore diverse destinations and immerse myself in the richness of different cultures. Whether it’s the rustic charm of budget-friendly stays in Eastern Europe or the refined elegance of a luxurious escape in Italy, my travel style is as versatile as it is enriching. Having lived in Poland, Italy, Germany, Nice, and Turkey, I’ve gained a deep appreciation for Europe’s cultural tapestry and an insider’s perspective on its best-kept secrets. For me, travel is more than just ticking destinations off a list—it’s about the connections you make, the friendships you build, and the stories that shape your journey. I specialize in designing bespoke itineraries that reflect your unique preferences, blending local authenticity with unforgettable experiences. Let me help you transform your travel dreams into memories that will last a lifetime.

Hi Patrycia,
Thank you for recommending and curating our beachfront stay in Cancun. We had an amazing time! My wife absolutely loved the hotel, and the two-bedroom suite was incredibly spacious, perfect for our kids. We truly appreciated all the thoughtful details you arranged and look forward to working with you again soon for our fall trip to Europe.

Golden Stone & Azure Seas: A Mother-Daughter Escape to Magical Malta
Malta is a place that surprises you in the best possible way. For me, it became more than just a destination—it became a memory woven between sun-soaked days, ancient streets, and 10 incredible days spent with my mom.

Girls’ Getaway: The Ultimate Sister Weekend in Nashville
Nashville is one of those cities that wraps around you the moment you arrive. Maybe it’s the twang of live music pouring out of every honky-tonk, the mouthwatering scent of Hattie B’s hot chicken and smoky barbecue drifting through the air, or the way strangers smile like you’ve known them for years. Whatever it is, it’s electric—and I felt every bit of it during an unforgettable weekend with my sister. I can’t wait to go back.

Sailing, Stone Streets & Seafood: My Croatian Escape to Split
Split is one of those places that grabs hold of you the moment you arrive. Maybe it’s the shimmer of the crystal-clear Adriatic, the scent of grilled seafood drifting through cobbled alleys, or the sound of café chatter echoing from centuries-old stone walls. Whatever it is, it’s magic—and I was completely swept up in it.

Istanbul Unveiled: A Guide to the City of Two Continents
Istanbul is one of those cities that never gets old, no matter how many times you go. I’ve been over 10 times now, and with my husband’s family living right on Istiklal Avenue, I’ve had the chance to really get to know the city like a local. It’s where East meets West, tradition meets modern life, and history is literally around every corner. One minute you’re standing under the domes of Hagia Sophia, the next you’re bargaining for spices in the Grand Bazaar or sipping tea by the Bosphorus. And don’t even get me started on the food. Whether it’s simple street kebabs, simit, or a delicious dinner with Ottoman-style dishes, it’s always a feast. The views, the people, the energy… there’s just nothing like Istanbul.
