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!

I can't say enough good things about working with Tarika Richter! She's become my secret weapon for travel planning. Whenever I reach out, she's just a quick call or message away, and she always gets back to me promptly.

What I love most is how Tarika really knows her stuff about the places we visit. She's given us insider tips that have made our trips so much more enjoyable. Plus, the hotel perks we get through her are fantastic—upgrades and little extras that make a big difference to our stays.

Our trip wouldn’t have been the same without our amazing travel agent, Tarik—she went above and beyond in every way. From flawless planning to the sweetest welcome note (and coconut bread that was chef's kiss), she made us feel like VIPs from the moment we arrived. Truly a superb agent who brought the aloha spirit to life.
