My Story
A San Francisco-based SAHM of three always looking for ways to maximize school vacation days, and daydreams about new adventures while sitting in the carpool line. Always in search of a good meal and a little bit of adventure.
Travel Style
I am obsessed with travel. I live to research to the end of the earth to find the best possible hotels, restaurants, and experiences that are unique and special for my family. I love a mix of high and low, luxury and boutique to round out my experiences. I love a beautiful and welcoming space coupled with amazing hospitality that makes you want to come back again and again or never leave. When it comes to designing my itineraries, it's about finding the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. Food is my love language, so finding a hole in the wall or a local spot always feels like a win. But mostly, I just want to show my kids the world and pass on my love of travel to them. Happy traveling!

Couldn’t say enough wonderful things. Tarika was so easy to work with, arranged several special touches while we were there, but most importantly stepped in last minute (after hours) when there was a problem with the reservation, and was able to get us upgraded. It made the entire anniversary trip for us. Thank you so much, Tarika! You have earned a lifelong customer!

Tarika planned another fantastic trip for our family at One&Only Palmilla. The hotel was incredible, and we were surprised we hadn’t heard of it before given how amazing it was. As always, everything was handled seamlessly, and Tarika was quick to help with any reservation changes or requests. Traveling with two little kids is so much easier knowing she has all the details covered. We’ll definitely continue using Tarika for our family vacations and highly recommend her.

Site Inspection at the One & Only Mandarina in Riviera Nayarit, Mexico
Welcome to the Jungle! In November 2023, I spent five days and four nights at the One & Only Mandarina, where I conducted a site inspection with the sales coordinator, Roberta Vantolra.
This hotel is incredibly special, with its unique location nestled in the jungle and its thoughtful, ultra-chic design. The outstanding hospitality and culinary experiences make it the perfect destination for romantic getaways and family adventures alike. Since opening its doors in November 2020, the hotel has achieved remarkable recognition, being named the #1 hotel in North America and the #8 hotel in the world by the 50 Best Hotels in just three years! Mandarina is a place to escape, relax, and reconnect. It's a dream destination that I highly recommend!
