About

I'm an Australian living in California, a perpetual traveler who thrives on researching and exploring new places and cultures.


Travel style

I am an adventurous person who loves staying in exquisitely designed hotels in vibrant cities filled with culture and excitement. However, I'm just as happy relaxing on a tropical island while my husband surfs or soaking in an onsen after a day of snowboarding in Japan.

I believe the best way to experience a new destination and culture is by basing yourself in the best neighborhood or area that suits my travel style. Surrounding myself with great restaurants, beautiful boutiques and local markets—whatever it is that excites me. I always consider my proximity to activities I want to enjoy, such as hikes, skiing or great surf breaks, as nailing this aspect helps the entire trip run smoothly. The initial research and time spent finding the best location are essential for crafting an amazing adventure.

I would love to help craft your upcoming getaway and assist you in eliminating the stress of planning and booking.
