About
Type-A planner whose appetite for travel is only rivaled by her love for her golden retriever, Kimchi. When not scoping out new restaurants, you can find this tech lover brainstorming new startup ideas over espresso martinis. A globetrotting, oenophile ball of positive energy who lives life to the fullest, one leopard print outfit at a time.

Travel style
A budget baller with champagne dreams, I'm a California native who has called Europe home for the past three years, exploring over 28 countries along the way. You will find me seeking out hole-in-the-wall eateries where the locals eat, as well as finding an aesthetically pleasing hotel with a lively lobby bar for impromptu nightcaps in a great location. The food and hotel make the experience for me. Ideal travel day includes a mid-day nap after morning sight-seeing, feeling cozy, eating memorable food and getting great pictures for the 'gram! I take it very seriously that you only get a few meals on a trip, so don't waste 'em on subpar grub!

Alyssa 's reviews
Alyssa planned this trip maybe 10 or 12 times, seriously! The patience of this woman! She was quick with responses and suggestions. We gave her no easy task and she definitely rose the occasion and made some fabulous stays come together for us. Cannot recommend her enough. Hope we can use her in the future!

Booked travel to Rome
- September 2024
Alyssa went above and beyond to find the perfect accommodations for us while taking into account our preferences and (limited) budget. We couldn't have found such a wonderful hotel without her! She was easy to work with and extremely responsive. Our travel plans changed multiple times and Alyssa was always happy to make adjustments and provide new/additional recommendations when changes came. 10/10 recommend working with Alyssa for your next trip, whether you need help with accommodations, tours or food/activity recommendations!

Alyssa was so helpful! We had some specific needs and she made sure everything was taken care of. She truly made traveling with a toddler less stressful! The perks we received were also wonderful - room upgrade, late checkout, and food credit. All made the trip easier and more enjoyable!
