Sometimes I get homesick for vacations I loved. And one of the best cures (beyond booking another visit) is to bring the food you loved on your trip into your home! I love taking cooking classes when I travel because I can then enjoy a “mini vacay” as the familiar flavors and aromas bring me right back. Plus, it’s a great way to share your experience with friends and family who weren’t there with you that is far more fun than having them look at the pictures on your phone.

Tonight, I was missing Italy so enjoyed homemade Cacio e Pepe, Caprese Salad and, naturally, Tiramisu! Delicious!

Who else uses cooking as a way to recapture that vacation feeling?

This exhilarating view is from Huangshan Mountain, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Anhui, China. After you’ve hiked the ancient trails and stone steps, uncovered breathtaking vistas, magnificent peaks, and serene valleys, you’re going to need somewhere special to relax and savor the memories. That’s where I come in.

Should you trust hotel reviews you see online?

Here’s my take as a travel advisor:

Yes, you can take reviews into consideration, but its risky to base your whole decision off the perspectives of strangers.

I’ve been to hotels that had bad reviews, but they ended up being perfect for me and my travel style.

On the flip side, I’ve been to hotels with great ratings that just didn’t quite live up to my expectations.

Taking the time to understand what you truly want and value from your travel experience is a great place to start so you don’t get confused or swayed when you read reviews.

Here’s how I can help: ​​When I make recommendations on where you should stay and what you should do, I’m taking the time to truly understand your travel preferences, needs, and hotels and resorts you’ve enjoyed in the past.

That way I can give you clarity in the thousands of choices for resorts and hotels out there.

No having to guess or rely on mixed online reviews. Let’s chat! Send me a DM or comment below.

Unwind in the picturesque landscapes of Bonaventure Island and Percé Rock, tucked along Québec's scenic Gaspé Peninsula. You can hike the scenic trails, immerse yourself in the rich history, and marvel at the seabird colonies.

Short on time but desperately in need of a getaway this Fall?

Sometimes, all you have is a few days of PTO for a quick getaway to rest and recharge.

But that doesn’t make your trip any less meaningful or easy to plan.

In fact, I would argue that the shorter the trip, the more you’ll need some planning help because you have less time to make the most of your time away.

Call me the queen of maximizing vacation time because that’s where I can help.

Whether you’re planning a city adventure, a quick break to an all-inclusive, or a little wellness time to relax and reset, I’ll help you plan an itinerary that maximizes your time.

Don’t let time be the thing that stops you from making the most of your vacation. Send me a DM so I can give you a list of hotspots for shorter trips.

Is this you every night after work trying to plan your next vacation? 👇

You have a giant list of resorts you can’t keep straight.

10 browser tabs open with articles, reviews, and recommendations.

You‘re wondering if you should rent a car or not and which local tours are the best option since they’re all starting to blend in and sound the same.

Friend, let me remind you that planning a trip doesn’t need to turn into a full-time job for you.

Here’s what you’re going to do instead:

👉 Hand your travel wishlist over
👉 Tell me more about the trip you’d like to take
👉 Give me some insights into past trips and what you loved or didn’t love

And let me bring it all together into a proposal with tailored resort/hotel recommendations, a list of tours I’ve done myself or have vetted, and a list of other tips and information about the destination you’re going to.

Send me a message or visit the link in my bio to get started so you can get back to enjoying your evenings!

If you think this might be for you, DM me.

You can easily find the incredible tree-climbing goats of Morocco between Marrakech and Essaouira, along the roadside. Just keep in mind that you'll probably have to pay a farmer to take pictures and enjoy the novelty (and it's worth it).

"Isn‘t it too early to be thinking about spring trips?"

Some advice from your travel advisor:

It‘s NEVER too early. I can't tell you how many times I've met a client who didn't start planning Spring Break until January and February and they couldn't get their top pick of resorts or ended up paying way more than they needed to.

So, if you’re planning your Spring Break trip now, you’re way ahead of the curve:

➡️ You get first pick and can lock in the best rooms at those high-demand resorts and hotels before they fill up.

➡️ You have more time to look for promotions. I keep my eyes peeled for offers that align with the trip you have in mind so you can get the best value for your budget.

➡️ One less thing to stress about. Get it locked into your calendar so you have something to look forward to.

Let’s get you ahead of the Spring travel game. Send me a DM so we can start planning!

How do you know when it‘s the right time to call in reinforcements to help with your travel planning?

Let me share with you the straw that broke the camel’s back for many of my current clients.

👉They were overwhelmed with the sheer number of travel options for where to stay and what to do and ended up with decision paralysis.

👉They were frustrated that reading online reviews, articles, and blogs did not actually clarify things for them but added to the noise and confusion.

👉They started trying to book things but realized halfway through that they just didn’t have the time for travel planning to become another full-time job.

If you‘re reading this and thinking, "This all sounds too familiar," then send me a DM, and let me take the overwhelm and drama off your shoulders.

One thing you should know about working with me?

I’m a hawk when it comes to getting my clients the best value for their money and travel budget.

If I know you’ve got a vacation you’re thinking of taking and I know well in advance, you better believe I’m keeping my eyes peeled for the best offers for you.

I dive into the travel promotions and keep an eye out for offers that align with my clients’ upcoming trips.

We’re still in the middle of summer, but if you’re thinking of getting away this coming winter, let me know so I can keep an eye on offers that come across my desk!
