My Story
After a decade in wine marketing and years working in Portland’s boutique hotel world, I decided to turn my biggest obsession into my next chapter. I specialize in slow, intentional travel built around food, wine, and genuine local connection: think family-friendly Europe, Hawai’i, Mexico, PNW road trips, and the wine regions worth traveling for. I live on a rural property outside Portland with my family, and my eye for design and hospitality comes from years on the inside of it.
Travel Style
I’m drawn to places that feel lived-in rather than staged—the neighborhood wine bar where the owner pours you something off-menu, the family-run hotel where breakfast is whatever came from the market that morning. My style leans slow, sensory, and rooted in place, with a particular love for wine regions, Europe, Mexico, and Japan. As a mom of two, I also know how to plan family travel that doesn’t sacrifice great food or beautiful design for kid-friendliness—you can absolutely have both. If your dream trip balances incredible food and wine, local connection, beaches, where to travel with a stroller, and zero tourist traps, we’re a good fit.

A Desert Escape: Palm Springs, Desert Hot Springs and Joshua Tree
When you live in the Pacific Northwest, nothing resets you quite like a sunny early spring escape. The dry, sculptural contrast of the California desert is the perfect antidote to a long gray winter. Palm Springs is remarkably easy to reach from anywhere on the West Coast, and its mostly open-air airport sets the tone the moment you land. From there, you can settle into a mid-century pool day in town, soak in the mineral waters of Desert Hot Springs, or head out to the otherworldly landscape of Joshua Tree National Park. It’s a region that rewards both stillness and exploration in equal measure.
