My Story
Detail-orientated Travel Advisor, master of planning and research, designing tailor-made journeys. Thrives on challenges, tenacious and creative problem-solver, going the extra mile.
My Travel Style
I believe that each type of travel offers a unique experience and allows me to fully immerse myself in different cultures, environments and activities. Backpacking and working in hostels have taught me to appreciate simplicity and embrace the backpacker community, where I have created lifelong friendships with fellow travelers from around the world.
On the other hand, spoiling myself with luxury accommodations, town car transfers, and spa treatments allows me to indulge and pamper myself. It's a way for me to unwind, relax and escape the stresses of daily life. The feeling of pure bliss and being treated like royalty is truly invigorating.
Themed trips are also a significant part of my travel style. I enjoy organizing trips that revolve around a specific interest or passion. Whether it's exploring the culinary history of a city and indulging in local delicacies or dedicating a weekend to experiencing the best craft cocktail bars, I appreciate the opportunity to delve deep into a particular subject and broaden my knowledge.
Furthermore, I don't limit myself to solo adventures. I enjoy planning trips with friends, whether it's a girls' weekend getaway or a bachelor/bachelorette party. These trips are filled with laughter, shared experiences and the opportunity to create lasting memories with loved ones.
Ultimately, my travel style is dynamic and ever-changing. I don't confine myself to a single way of traveling because I believe that each experience offers something valuable and unique. From budget backpacking to luxury indulgence, from organized themed trips to spontaneous getaways, my love for travel knows no bounds. It feeds my curiosity, broadens my perspective and allows me to continually grow as an individual.

4-Day Nola Girls Trip
I first discovered Nola a decade ago while I was returning stateside from living abroad for a few years. The moment I took those steps off that bus, I could feel the New Orleans personality and soul and the Big Easy has been home ever since. I love this city and love helping people find their connection and experience the magic this great city has to offer.
