Travel Style
I love to balance between what I lovingly refer to as my favorite flavors of travel: relaxing, adventure, or bonding vacations.
Relaxing vacations are a much-needed respite from the everyday, and I have been lucky enough to sunbathe with my partner, while sipping my favorite cocktail and reading a new book, in Mexico, Jamaica, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. I have also taken a “Mom Holiday” every year since my children were born—a solo weekend away to take a deep breath, reset, and come back the best version of myself.
My favorite adventure vacations include reveling in the beauty of U.S. National Parks such as Glacier NP and Zion NP. Or exploring a “Big City’s” unique culture, landmarks, and charm—because New York City is different from Honolulu in the most wonderful ways.
I love bonding vacations because they can happen anytime, small or big: going to the concert my friend has been talking about or taking my kids to visit a new zoo and playing Marco Polo in the hotel pool, to diving head-first into the magical chaos of theme parks like Walt Disney World or Universal (certified advisor for both!)—but time and memories with the ones you love outside of the day-to-day is the point.
And every once in a while, you are able to TripleScoop in one vacation! Like taking your loved ones on a spectacular Alaskan cruise where you share in adventures and relaxation alike, while making memories that last a lifetime.
Whatever your preferred flavor of travel is at the moment, I can help facilitate it through:
-Time/stress-saving research and logistics planning
-Exclusive insider perks
-Ability to tailor to your personal preferences and unique needs
-Providing ongoing advocacy and support
In short, I do the heavy lifting. You savor the opportunity to indulge in travel that truly speaks to you.
In addition to my favorites, I’m also able to assist with business trips, wellness retreats, milestone/celebratory trips, volunteer travel, or hyper-focused itineraries (i.e. the Nebraska Sandhill Crane migration), etc. Reach out so we can get started!

Trails & Huckleberry Tales: The Active Traveler’s Guide to Glacier National Park
Glacier National Park in Montana is breathtaking, with sparkling ice-blue lakes, a variety of hikes, abundant wildlife, and timeless forests, but due to its remote location, it is hard to find good food (even though it is in the Top 10 most-visited national parks). There are historic lodges within the park that do offer dining, but it is very hit or miss. In addition, there is a lack of online presence for many of the local restaurants, so researching ahead of time is difficult and relies on word of mouth from other travelers. That said, we found some good spots—here are my recommendations.
