Let's plan the trip of a lifetime. I do all the work. You have all the fun. "You only live once." Maybe that’s a cliché, but it rings true.

There’s so much to explore in this novel world and so little time to do it. I’ve tried to live by this motto, traveling extensively and checking items off my bucket list – and I’d love to help you do the same. Your dreams are as unique as you are, and your travel bucket list won’t look the same as anyone else’s. Maybe you want to see Paris from the top of the Eiffel Tower or experience the wonder

of the Northern Lights. Maybe you want to take your whole family on a once-in-a-lifetime cruise. Maybe you simply want to bask in the sun on a secluded beach. With a trusted travel advisor on your team, you can make your dreams a reality. I’ll take the time to understand your needs, research destinations and experiences, craft a customized itinerary especially for you, and handle all the logistics of planning your trip. Together, we'll check those items off your bucket list and start making the most of your one wild and precious life.

I'm gearing up for a trip to Iceland right now - the absolute opposite of a beach getaway. But as I gather my down parka and long underwear, I'm suddenly dreaming of escaping the cold and sinking my toes into warm, golden sand.

Like you, though, I don't want to go where the crowds are. I want something a little under the radar. Someplace like...

✨ Isla Holbox, Mexico: Car-free tranquility, pastel sunsets, and hammocks over turquoise waters.
✨ El Nido, Philippines: Dramatic cliffs, secret lagoons, and beaches so pristine they feel untouched.
✨ Algarve, Portugal: Golden cliffs, hidden sea caves, and water so clear it sparkles.
✨ Rincón, Puerto Rico: A laid-back beach town far from the San Juan crowds, with epic surf and even better sunsets.
✨ Sardinia, Italy: Crystal-clear waters, rugged cliffs, and a little slice of Mediterranean heaven.

Whether you’re craving adventure or just a sun-soaked place to unwind, I can help you turn the beach vacation of your dreams into reality.

💃🏻 WHAT TO DO IN BARCELONA 💃🏻

Barcelona is one of my favorite cities - I just returned last summer and enjoyed every second of it - and I'm also planning quite a few 2025 trips for my clients to this amazing Catalonian city.

So the other day, when I read a BuzzFeed article in which a traveler called Barcelona "disappointing" and "boring," my jaw dropped to the floor. How could you possibly find this city anything less than magical?

Everyone knows about Sagrada Familia - even that disappointed tourist. But there's so much to experience in Barcelona beyond this beautiful cathedral. Like:

PARK GUELL AND CASA BATTLO. Gaudi's masterpieces don't stop at the cathedral.

TAPAS TOURS. I took part in a tour led by a charming and knowledgeable local, which added rich cultural immersion to our gastronomic delights.

ROOFTOP BARS. There is quite nothing cooler than sipping a sangria while you watching the sunset from one of the many rooftop bars scattered around the city. (Like at two of my favorite hotels, the W and Hotel Colon.)

EL BORN. Stroll through the streets of this hip, historical neighborhood to shop at local boutiques and food shops - then stop for a drink at one of the sidewalk cafes.

MERCAT DE LA BOQUERIA. Sample sliced Iberico ham, skewers of strawberries, and platters of fresh Spanish seafood. (You know I'm food motivated.)

I could go on (Picasso museum, flamenco shows, paella!) but hopefully I've convinced you that Barcelona is *never* a disappointing destination.

Have you been to Barcelona? If so, what did you think? Let me know in the comments. 👇🏻

Did you know that planning a trip can actually make you happier?

Research published in the Applied Research in Quality of Life journal shows that the anticipation of a vacation can significantly boost happiness—sometimes even more than the trip itself! Think about it: the excitement of imagining new destinations, researching things to do, and daydreaming about your getaway can bring joy long before your suitcase is packed.

This is why travel isn’t just about the destination—it’s about the entire journey, including the thrill of planning! I’m here to help make every step of that process as exciting and stress-free as possible. From personalized itineraries to expert recommendations, I’ll turn your daydreams into reality while keeping that pre-trip happiness alive.
