My Story

Chicago is my home base, but I search the world for unique ways to live and work abroad.

Travel Style

I'm a former architect, so I value great design — I often choose a destination based on a single image of a hotel. For me, hospitality and experience design are key; it's all in the small details. I love maximizing my clients' budgets while introducing them to incredible design-focused properties. I do a lot of solo traveling, so no matter where I go, I prioritize connecting with locals, finding vintage and artisan markets, delightful cafes with great Wi-Fi and eating the best baked goods on the planet.

Vicki was a stellar advisor. She carefully selected a hotel in the heart of D.C. and provided us with a curated list of local eateries and shops to explore. Vicki went above and beyond — upon arriving at the hotel, we were greeted with a personal note celebrating the weekend, which added a memorable and thoughtful touch to our getaway. Without a doubt, I'll be turning to Vicki for all my travel plans in the future — she truly is exceptional.
