Travel is a beautiful way to escape the usual, so I believe every part of the experience should be special. You could book a chain hotel in a neighborhood full of chain hotels filled with tourists or, for the same price, you could stay in a historic chateau, eco-cabin floating on a lake, or a renovated cave that was once a shepherd’s shelter. I prefer spending my nights in a place that's just as special as the places I'll see during the day.

My goal is to find the stay you'll always remember, whether or not I earn a commission.

I travel plan in two main steps: First, curate plenty of options for food and activities. Second, prioritize one activity or site and one restaurant or meal experience each day of the trip. Once travelling, I can relax knowing I won't miss the important stuff while still having plenty of time to slow down and wander wherever feels best using the many options I already researched and saved.

Together we can find the sweet spot of relaxed yet intentional travel that's flexible enough to handle any change in plan, mood, appetite, or weather.

I'm so obsessed with food I went to culinary school to become a food writer. Now that education goes into research and culinary appreciation- eating all across the spectrum, from carefully plated Michelin starred fine-dining to a simple buckwheat crepe wrapped in paper and served from a cart. I love learning about new cuisines, finding the best of the best, and enjoying a delicious bite to eat.

Let me curate a variety of eateries for your trip, find a baking class in the home of a grandmother, or book a street food tour with a local food writer.
