About
I’m Emma, and I love to plan trips for others. I’ve traveled to over 20 countries, and typically spend most of my vacation time in Palm Springs, Aspen and Chicago (my hometown). In 2016, I attended a Tourism Marketing and Management class while studying abroad in Budapest, and discovered a passion that led to my current job at The Georgian Hotel in Santa Monica. Now partnered with Fora, I’m so excited to level up your travel habits and get you the most out of your valuable vacation time!

Travel style
While planning trips, I honor your personal taste, logistic practicality, the authenticity of where you're headed and the rest and relaxation your body needs. You may only have one chance to experience a destination and you want to leave with no regrets. I prefer to avoid anything made for the masses and instead, focus on what your favorite places would be if you lived there. What does experiencing this destination through your lens look like? I strive for maximum enjoyment and ease in my itineraries, and edit out what could be chaotic or exhausting. I keep it dreamy.
TL : DR - Personal, practical, relaxing, authentic

Emma's reviews
Emma found exactly what we were looking for in a hotel. She provided us with several great options, handled all of the reservations and confirmations. We enjoyed the perks she was able to provide for us. Early check in, daily breakfast for 2, a nice room upgrade and $100 credit. We even had a fabulous assortment of snacks and drinks waiting for us in our room. Highly recommend!
