Whether you’re road-tripping through the US this summer or exploring in another country, here are my top tips for making the most of Google Maps when you travel 🔎
➡️ Save Offline Maps: Before you go, download maps for your destination by tapping the location, choosing "Download," and voilà! You can now navigate without the internet.
➡️ Explore with Street View: Here‘s a cool trick! Drop the adorable yellow peg man on the map and virtually stroll through the streets. It‘s like being there already. Do this around your hotel to get familiar with nearby places.
➡️ Discover Nearby Places: This is one of my favorites! Use the "Explore" feature to find attractions, restaurants, bars, parks, you name it, all in your vicinity. It‘s like having a local guide right in your pocket!
Happy exploring, fellow adventurer. 🌏

You can ABSOLUTELY have a trip where you feel completely at ease because you know somebody’s got your back.
🏨 Hotel or resort booked well in advance at a great rate
🚗 Rental car or private airport transport waiting on your arrival
🔎 Vetted tours and experiences already lined up
💪 Someone to step in and assist while you travel
The last one is my personal favorite - my clients will tell you that there’s really no better feeling than having someone you trust take care of the details so you an simply enjoy your time away on your luxury getaway!
When you’re ready to level up your trips like my clients, I’m here to help! DM me or hit the link in my bio.

Travel planning is key…but a sprinkle of spontaneity?
That’s where the magic is waiting for you.
Here’s how to mix in both to get the most out of your next adventure
👉Set the foundation
Nail down your must-see and must-do things. Think of it as your travel safety net—no missed flights, overbooked hotels and tours, or long lineups. Setting the foundation removes all the stress and FOMO of travel.
👉Flex Room
I always recommend clients leave gaps in their schedule for the unexpected. We always think we can pack more into an itinerary than we probably should I’m guilty!). Use those gaps for exploring and doing things that spontaneously pop up along the way — things like local festivals, hidden-away towns you’re driving through, etc.
👉Stress-Free Exploring
With your essentials covered, you can enjoy unplanned moments without worrying about missing out. You’re going in knowing that you roam freely because your wishlist items are taken care of.

My mission? Making your travel goals a reality.
Here’s how I do it:

✅ Leveling up the experience by connecting you with insider access to the best pricing and perks
When you book your trip with me you can relax and know that you’ll be met with an experience that is true to you and how you like to travel.
So, are you ready to make this travel thing happen?
Book a call with me so we can get to know each other better!

Honest question 👇
You’re not a cookie-cutter person, so why would you settle for a cookie-cutter vacation?
The thing about booking online using a travel website (Sites like Expedia and Booking.com) is that you only see what they want you to.
What if you’re missing out on the perfect resort or hotel because it’s not paying to be promoted on one of these websites?
When you work with me, we skip right to the part where I get to know you, so the recommendations I make for hotels, resorts, tours, experiences, and even destinations (If you haven’t figured that out yet), are specific to you.
When my clients shift from booking their getaways online to working with me so we can customize their experiences, it changes everything!
☀️ They enjoy their travels more.
🏖️ They feel special and taken care of.
🥂 Every trip feels special.
And isn’t that how travel should be?
I’m here when you’re ready for your next level of travels!

Fair warning when you’re planning trips to the Caribbean…
Don’t fall into the trap of thinking that every resort is equal.
There are so many options that it’s easy to get a few hours or even weeks into the process of planning a trip that everything starts to blur.
Which resort had the adults-only section again?
And which resort has the better beachfront?
It’s so hard to keep track of it all, then take the leap and make the decision.
But what if instead, you had options based on the trip you’re looking to take, the way you like to travel, etc.?
❌ No more bookmarking, taking notes, or hunting for online tips.
✅ Just the best resort and hotel options served up based on your needs by an expert who takes the time to get to know you.
That expert is me friend, and all it takes is a DM to get started. Who’s in?! 🙋♀️

Summer bucket list!!
A few of my clients have travel bucket lists and they are ready to cross off some dreamy destinations ! 🌞✈️
As a travel advisor, I’m always dreaming about the next adventure, even if those adventures are ones my client's are going on!
Here are a few being crossed off some bucket lists in the upcoming weeks:
🌴 Exploring hidden caves a few hours away
🍷 Spa weekend in wine country and wine tasting (of course!)
🏞️ Hotel visits on the Riviera Maya this July
🏛️ Lots of beaches and lake time with the kids
What’s on your summer travel bucket list?
02/06/2024

You forget your headphones, left the book you planned to pack on the coffee table, and are sitting at your resort paranoid about leaving the hair dryer plugged in.
There’s nothing worse, in my opinion!
Here’s my day before travel checklist that I’ve perfected to make sure I don’t forget anything:
Start prepping a week before: I start setting things aside for my trip, but I hold off on packing until a day or two before, so I remember what’s in my suitcase.
Do a round of editing: Right before I pack, I edit to make sure I’m packing what I’ll actually need. I also check the weather forecast where I’m headed to make sure I’m prepared.
Carry-on check: I double- and triple-check my carry-on for my documents, my AirPods, and my lip chap—basically everything I’ll need on the actual flight (chapped lips on a four-hour flight is the worst!).
Travel admin: I call my credit card company, download airline apps, make sure I have a copy of my boarding pass, etc.

Hang on tight because what I’m about to tell you is going to blow your mind.
Here’s the thing about booking travel that not enough people realize:
No matter how good your travel credit card or points program is, there are just some hotel perks, pricing, and offers that you won’t get access to unless you work with a travel advisor.
Case in point? When my clients book getaways with me, sometimes they get perks free breakfast or late check-outs and room upgrades!
All this is to say, you may be leaving value on the table when you book your trips yourself.
When you’re ready to step into a world where you travel with ease, less stress, and a whole lot of extra perks, I’m just a DM away.

With all of the options in Mexico, there’s honestly no reason to settle for cookie-cutter trips, bad hotels, and experiences that just don’t live up to the hype.

Here‘s why relying on the internet may not be your best option for booking a trip.
Those sparkly hotel photos you see plastered all over Google?
They‘re not always accurate representations of reality. Take it from someone who’s visited many of them in person.
And don‘t even get me started on the reviews — because what ‘wows‘ one person might totally disappoint another.
This is where I come in — I put the microscope on everything for my clients.
I give you the raw facts on everything you need to know about trips you’re considering – from what to really expect from your rooms and amenities to tips on how to make the most of your time.
My recommendations aren‘t based on pretty pictures or popular opinions — they’re based on facts and first-hand experiences.
Because let‘s face it, the last thing you want is to be stuck in a state of underwhelm when you should be living your best life in the sun (or snow, if that’s your thing).

Feeling stuck in a cycle of ‘someday‘ when it comes to your travel wishlist?

➡️ It‘s REAL quality time with the people who mean the most to you.
Don’t let it be the thing that keeps getting filed away for later.
Whether it‘s a tropical escape to relax, getting back in touch with the outdoors, or a cozy low-key escape somewhere off the beaten path, I’m here to make the planning a breeze for you.

Let me share an insider travel tip with you:
Crafting a truly memorable trip requires not just going with the flow but truly taking a personalized approach to things.
When I‘m faced with a sea of activity options for client itineraries, I always think back to our initial discussions, where you give me the full scoop on your interests, travel style, and past adventures.
Maybe you‘re into nature.
Or maybe you’re an art lover.
Or maybe you just love to find the best spots to take pictures.
I’m cataloging all of this for future travel ideas.
Each activity contributes to the overall vibe of your trip.
So, take a moment to visualize the kind of experiences you want to have.
This is valuable information for me. It guides me in curating the perfect itinerary with moments that really resonate with your interests.
And if we haven’t had the pleasure of working together yet, take this list of things you’ve visualized and use it to keep yourself laser-focused as you plan your trip — the internet has a way of pulling even the best traveler in sooo many directions.
Hope you find this travel tip handy!
If you‘re ready to plan your next escape or have any questions, I‘m just a call or DM away.

Planning a destination wedding?
I’m here to help!
I love planning travel for my clients, but there’s just something so special about helping them plan not only a vacation, but one of the biggest days of their lives- their wedding day.
But I also know how stressful wedding planning can be, even when you’re getting married in your city and can run around to check out 5 different venues, various food options, and to make sure that venue that swears they can seat 400 people can realllly do it comfortably.
It’s even harder to plan when your destination is a flight away and you’re trusting all of your vendors and the venue to create the exact wedding you envision.
That’s where I come in. No, I’m not a wedding planner, but as a travel advisor I do work with wedding venues all over the world who specialize in creating the destination wedding of your dreams and who employ trusted wedding planners on-site.
So once we talk about your vision for your wedding, your ideal destination, how many invites you’ve sent etc., I can help you find the right venue, lodging, flights, excursions for the days leading up to and the days following the wedding for friends and family, and more!
If you’re currently thinking about a destination wedding, or are very much in the throes of planning, let’s connect! Feel free to send me a DM or reach out over on my contact page on my website linked to the left there in my bio !

If Basel Switzerland is on your bucket list, save this post for later!
Yesterday I explored the incredible art at The Museum Tinguely in Basel, Switzerland. This museum contains a permanent exhibition of the works of one of the most innovative and renowned Swiss painter and sculptor, Jean Tinguely (1925-1991).
Located in the Solitude Park by the Rhine, the museum itself is a sight to see, designed by the Ticinese architect Mario Botta in 1996.
This is the perfect stop for the artistic traveler who's looking for a slower afternoon activity during their Swiss adventure.
