About
I call myself a "tipsy gypsy." I love dishing out travel tips & living like a nomad. I visited 30 countries by age 30 (mostly solo) and my passion further ignites with each new place I go!
Travel style
I'm a “splurge and save” type of traveler. Whether it's staying in hostels or high-end hotels, or exploring via hop-on-hop-off bus tours or a gourmet 5-course meal on glass-roofed bus tours, I know how to strike a balance with my knack for stretching budgets while maximizing experiences. My career has been in running golf and tennis events and my hobby (travel) has led me to 4 continents (solo) and 42 US states. This combination makes me a “go-to” for splurge and savers, solo travelers, buddies golf trips and incorporating Grand Slams (tennis) into your travel plans.

Izzy's reviews
Izzy is fantastic! Super responsive and easy to work with. She gave us tons of options to choose from and made sure everything was taken care of prior to arrival for a smooth trip!! We will book with her again.

Where do I start? Izzy is the best. She helped our group of 12 (!) people get organized and take the most memorable trip. We had cruise veterans and newbies, multiple opinions on which cruise line/ship to take, various dates to check. She handled it all quickly and competently. And we ended up on a cruise that satisfied and delighted everyone! Once we were booked, the service didn't stop as she sent as reminders and tip emails based on her own experiences on Virgin. Truly can't recommend enough using her for your next travel adventure (in fact, I've already booked another with her myself).

Working with Izzy was so great. She went above and beyond to get us something within our price range for a very busy travel season. Would absolutely recommend working with her and will definitely be working with her again!

Izzy was incredible to work with! From start to finish, she made the entire process seamless and stress-free. Izzy took the time to understand our preferences and helped us create an itinerary that exceeded our expectations. Every detail, from flights and accommodations to activities and special touches, was handled with care. Thanks to her expertise, we were able to relax and truly enjoy every moment of our dream Italy trip!
