Your dream vacation starts here

Traveling is more then checking a place off the bucket list. It is about slowing down, being present, and taking in those rare unfiltered moments. It’s wandering off the beaten path and immersing yourself in a new city. Appreciating every new memory and new experience. It’s about stepping outside your comfort zone, experiencing the world from a different perspective, and learning more than just the history of a place, but the pulse of its everyday life. Sometimes all you need is a change of scenery. Catch flights not feelings!

I can take off the travel planning stress for you by designing curated and custom travel itineraries. You can let go of all the logistics and enjoy- the destination, with your people. Throw the travel planning stress out the window and let the journey guide you.

“Travel changes you. As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life — and travel — leaves marks on you.”

-Anthony Bourdain

Where it all began

My travel bug started when my best friend and I traveled to Greece in 2023. Coming from a small town I knew she had to get out and explore. I fell in love with Europe and what is has to offer. From there the traveling continued on to Portugal, Spain, Ireland, Costa Rica, and my most recent trip to Italy. One of my favorite cities in the US is New Orleans. I love traveling out west to Seattle. I frequent in New York City. You can often find me at OBX or Carolina Beach with family. I have extensive knowledge of various destination from my own personal experiences and passion for travel.

Travel Sustainably

What is sustainable travel?

Sustainable travel involves traveling in ways that protect the environment and benefits local communities. The goal is to minimize environmental impact and maximize local advantages. Sustainable travel is a mindset that influences how you travel from what you pack, as well as hotel stays and restaurants you eat at. Be mindful of your impact on the places you visit.

How can I travel sustainably?

Stay in an eco-friendly hotel. Buy handcrafted souvenirs from local artisans. Eat and drink at local ma-and-pop shops. The best most authentic meals will be at the local shops, usually the most affordable too. Choose to support locally owned businesses instead of massive group excursions run by global corporations. Drink with the locals and talk with them; they have the best recommendations. Pack light, use local transport, and reduce your carbon footprint. Respect protected wildlife areas. Dispose of trash properly. Use reusable toiletry containers. Turn off lights and appliances when not in use. Travel during off season to minimize over tourism during peak season (which is usually more affordable, too). Book the direct flight to save fuel. Embrace slow travel, stay longer in fewer places to immerse deeper into the culture and reduce travel.
