About
I love all kinds of travel, having spent a year going around the world, and visiting 57 countries over many years. I'd love to help others reach their travel dreams and provide unique expertise.
Travel style
My best experiences have been exotic and gorgeous, with a healthy dose of ultra luxury stays and budget gems. I love to book Hi-Lo hotels so you can enjoy the comforts and luxuries and alternate with lodging that gets you out of the bubble and really experiencing your destinations completely. Detailed and organized, I have planned many unique itineraries that are beyond cookie-cutter. My travel passions are best summed up as food, design and landscape. I have been so fortunate to go to so many places, and I want to share my discoveries!
I am pretty savvy with credit card points to find sweet spots for Business Class. I can help you use your points for flights and save your cash for hotels and more.

Allison's reviews
Bravo! Having worked with a wide range of travel advisors in the past, I can say with confidence that Allison is a cut above the rest. And I really do mean that. She’s spent more time traveling the world than any person I know, and it shows in every aspect of her work. I’m still floored by the depth of her knowledge. Plus, she’s smart as a whip, decisive, and a first-rate communicator. Further, she extracts every last drop of value for her clients. Her services are worth their weight in gold. I’m looking to book an international trip next year, and she’s already made drastic improvements to the itinerary I spent several months painstakingly building. I’m fairly well traveled, but I look like a total novice by comparison. Still thanking my lucky stars to have her in my corner for all future travel plans. I couldn’t recommend Allison more highly, no matter the size of your next incursion!

Allison turned this booking experience into a truly seamless process, from beginning to end. A far cry from the common stress of creating my own itinerary. She listened intently while taking my specific needs into consideration, providing many helpful suggestions along the way. She found me exactly what I wanted for a fraction of the price I was expecting to pay. I don't normally write reviews, but I was very impressed. 5 stars, through and through!

For years, I’ve had the pleasure of traveling with Allison’s thoughtfully crafted itineraries. One standout experience was a family self-drive adventure through Namibia, perfectly tailored to our needs. Allison specializes in creating custom trips that venture off the beaten path. Most recently, she planned a multi-generational trip to New Orleans, finding accommodations that suited everyone’s budget.

Allison was great to work with. She put together a fantastic road trip staying at boutique hotels near the National Parks. We wouldn't have known how to do this on our own and we really appreciate her expertise!
