My Story

In 2025, I traveled to six of the seven continents—mostly solo. Along the way, I fell in love with navigating new countries, immersing myself in different cultures, and discovering just how much the world has to offer.

But solo travel has a way of teaching you something unexpected. There’s an old saying: “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” The more I traveled, the more I felt that. And it’s exactly what inspired me to become a travel advisor, so no one has to figure it all out on their own.

When I’m not exploring the world, I’m a student at Vanderbilt University. Travel is what fuels me between chapters, and I bring that same curiosity and enthusiasm to every trip I plan for you.

Travel Style

My travel style is the best of both worlds: long, lazy beach days balanced with adventures that get the heart pumping. Think surfing in Australia, zip-lining through Central American rainforests, snorkeling in the Mediterranean, feeding elephants in Africa, or hunting down the best street food in Southeast Asia.

For me, travel has never been about just ticking off destinations. It’s about the moments that stay with you long after you’re home. Wherever we’re planning to send you, that’s exactly what I’m focused on creating.
