Travel style
Former digital strategist who spent over a decade in the luxury travel industry. I've been to 35 countries and traveled extensively around North America. Recent favorite trips include Norway on a three-week honeymoon roadtripping in the Lofoten Islands, a South Africa vacation to Cape Town followed by safari in Kruger National Park and a babymoon to Carmel and Big Sur, California. My sweet spot is the high low combo of off-the-beaten-path discovery paired with laid back luxury. I love destinations featuring nature and the great outdoors, discovering smaller boutique hotels with a strong sense of place, exploring local neighborhoods and leaving ample room in trip itineraries for organic discovery. I have two young kids and now focus on thoughtfully planned family adventures to cool places like Mexico, Lake Tahoe, Moab and the Pacific Northwest.

Ty's reviews
Ty was very knowledgeable about the area, the hotel amenities while offering choices of where to stay and what to do. She was quick to reply back when I had questions and made the booking experience simple. I will definitely use her again.
