Gone are the days that you have the time to pore over various travel sites trying to find the best hotel for your vacation. With your limited vacation time, you want to know that your trip will be how it should be – seamless, stress-free, and tailored to your needs and interests. I have traveled to almost 50 countries to find the best hotels and experiences for my clients.
Whether it is a quick weekend trip, a family vacation, or a dream honeymoon, working with a travel planner saves you time, money, hassle, and provides a safety net during your trip.
I left the urban planning consulting world after 11 years to pursue my passion of sharing the lifestyle of travel. Whether you have the perfect destination in mind or you want to tap into my extensive knowledge of vacation ideas, I will work with you to plan the best experience possible for you and your family.
Having lived in Chicago, New Orleans, and New York, you can now find me in Washington, DC with my husband and my 11-year-old and 8-year-old sons. I travel the globe with my kids and love it. I am excited to help you explore the world.

After spending the beginning of my career working in finance in New York City, I decided to pursue a position in a field that has been a long-time passion of mine – travel and hospitality. I have been lucky enough to live in four countries, each of which enhanced my love of travel and gave me an appreciation for the beautiful cultures around the world.
I am thrilled to help my clients explore the globe in the best possible way. My career in finance fostered a detail-oriented mentality so you can rest assured your vacation will be seamless from start to finish. I continue to travel whenever possible with my husband and baby girl – traveling with a baby should not be scary! I cannot wait to share my tips that will make your journeys extra special, relaxing, and one of a kind.

My travel obsession began during a cross-cultural studies course in Barbados. The picturesque island, vibrant culture, and genuine warmth of the locals left me eager to experience more of this wondrous planet. After college, I was lucky to work a long career in management consulting, which funded extensive exploration of six continents and built my travel proficiency.
Having mastered solo, group, couples, and honeymoon travel across two decades, I was surprised to learn that it's quite different with tiny humans in tow. I’ve spent four years perfecting family travel with my two children and now have it down to a science, including multi-generational trips.
Luxury travel planning is an expertise that I’ve developed through first-hand experience and dedicated training, and it’s my pleasure to assist others in their global pursuits. I'm here as your partner as you explore the world, with ease, during all stages of life.

I have been passionate about travel and exploring the world for as long as I can remember. I was fortunate enough to grow up traveling around the world with my family and through these travels, I have stayed at countless luxury properties, engaged in unique experiences, and so much more. I have traveled to over 60 countries and counting - the only continent left to check off my list is Antarctica!
Prior to becoming a luxury travel advisor, I spent six years working in finance & strategy, so I am excited to take my skillset into the luxury travel space to plan a seamless vacation for my clients. Whether it is a honeymoon, anniversary trip, friend trip or family trip, I am thrilled to be able to help my clients discover new destinations and experience luxury and relaxation around the world.

Coming from a multicultural background, the spirit of travel is part of my DNA. Born in Brooklyn, NY and raised in Miami, FL, I grew up speaking Spanish, Polish, and English. My diverse upbringing has prepared me for a life of travel and exploration.
After spending nine years in New York City, as a successful Senior Event Producer working with high-profile clients, I followed my entrepreneurial instinct. I relocated to Tampa, Florida to launch my own business in the pet industry following my passion and love for animals.
My love of travel, paired with an almost obsessive attention to detail, allowed me to craft many memorable milestone travel experiences for myself, my family, and friends. I want to share my skills and expertise with my clients by creating a thoughtfully designed and highly curated luxury lifestyle travel experience that they may not have thought possible.

I am a Washington, DC area native who, after spending a semester of college in France then living in Atlanta for 6 years, found my way home to attend law school. I practiced at a law firm for a few years then transitioned into a consulting position for real estate developers while raising two children. I now reside in Chevy Chase with my husband, children (now both teenagers – time flies!), and the world’s cutest retriever, Harper.
I have always loved to travel, and I am thrilled to be able to share my passion with others. I have always naturally gravitated toward the role of trip planner. Whether it was a 6-week honeymoon with my husband, girls’ weekends, ski trips, multi-generational family trips, or just trips for my immediate family, I have always had an eye for the details that make vacations both memorable and fun.

I have always enjoyed traveling, even from a young age. My father traveled extensively for work, and I was lucky enough to accompany him on many of his trips. I moved to London after college for my first job and took every advantage of the close proximity to the rest of Europe and beyond.
I then spent the last 16 years in the publishing world, designing and publishing school yearbooks. My schedule was based around a typical school calendar and allowed ample time to travel, which I took advantage of frequently. I eventually started planning trips for friends and relatives and seemed to become a frequent source for travel, hotel, and dining advice.
I am now able to help others travel with a white glove, detail-oriented approach to ensure my clients have a carefree travel experience, knowing that everything is managed and supervised and that all details are accounted for. I currently live in Washington, DC with my husband and three children, who luckily share my love to discover new places and people. Consequently, this has also made me an expert in the “do’s and don’ts” of family travel.

Growing up in a small town I’ve always been curious to explore big cities, meet new people, and understand different cultures. This curiosity led me all over Europe; during not just one but two study abroad programs. It didn’t take long for me to realize that travel was going to spill over from my personal life into my career.
Since then, I’ve gotten to work for luxury travel agencies and boutique hotels. These opportunities have given me the full understanding of the client experience from the second a request comes in until the moment a client is walking out the door, bidding you adieu. This full scope perspective paired with a deep passion for travel, motivates me to help create and execute unforgettable trips for our clients.
I’m an east coast gal currently residing in Denver, CO. Living in Denver gives me the best of both worlds; I get to explore the city on “school” nights and disconnect in the mountains on the weekends!
