👋🏻 Meet Me May 👋🏻

Hi! It's me again for "Why Me" Part 2

📆 Reason #2: I live in Traverse City! 🍒 🌊

You guys might be curious why I only plan trips to Traverse City. It's because:

1. I love Traverse City and all this beautiful place has to offer! From dining at the vineyards, to a sunset cruise on the bay to the locally grown foods that source all the amazing farm-to-table restaurants, it is one of the best places to live and visit year round!

2. I love being able to personally vet each and every spot before recommending them to you, to assure they are 10/10! How many times have you planned a trip to somewhere new and thought you were going to the best restaurant only to be sorely disappointed?? Been there! I am here so you can have the BEST weekend with the best stay, the best restaurants, and the best activities!

3. I love recommending hidden gems! 💎 When you go to a new city, you dont want to just hit all the tourist traps. I've found after traveling for extended periods of time that the locals always have the coolest tips on spots to see that you would never find without them! I'm here to share all those fun tips and hidden gems of TC with you!
