My Story
I am a travel designer focused on curating an immersive experience. When I travel, I connect with the destination and explore the history, culture, food, and adventure.
Travel Style
Travel should be an immersion, not just a visit. I bridge the gap between a standard itinerary and a local perspective, hand-picking everything from storied or intimate accommodations to under-the-radar dining. I don’t just book trips—I design experiences with a distinct sense of place.

A Fairy Tale Day in Sintra: A 1-Day Itinerary
Lisbon is wonderful, but a must-do day trip is Sintra. Truly a place where history feels alive, tucked away in the mist of the Portuguese mountains. Hike from palace to palace and enjoy the views from the Atlantic Ocean to Lisbon. Mid-to-late March weather can be “iffy”—layering and a reliable rain jacket are non-negotiable, but the smaller crowds make it a magical time to visit.
