About
A bitter southerner who loves a good song, a good story and a good cocktail. No matter where I am, the winds of wanderlust are always calling.
Travel style
Travel shouldn't be exhausting but every day should be an adventure. Whether it's hiking on a little-known trail, scouring the city for an elusive piece of street art or hunting a speakeasy hidden in plain sight, you can count on me to find the most fun ways to get lost. I'm always after those one-of-a-kind experiences that stick with you long after you've packed your bags back home.

Alyssa's reviews
I cannot thank my friend Alyssa enough for the incredible experience she arranged for me at Sun Gardens Resort in Dubrovnik! From the moment I arrived, it was clear that this was going to be a stay like no other. Alyssa's expertise as a travel agent shone through every detail of my trip. She took the time to understand my preferences and crafted an itinerary that perfectly matched my desires for relaxation and exploration. The resort itself was nothing short of breathtaking. Nestled along the Adriatic coast, the stunning views of the sea and surrounding mountains were a feast for the eyes. The accommodations were luxurious, with a spacious room that had a private balcony overlooking the water. Each morning, I woke up to the sound of waves and the scent of the sea, which was the perfect way to start my day. The amenities at the resort were top-notch; from the spa to the private beaches, I felt like I was in paradise. Alyssa also recommended some fantastic local dining options. One evening, I enjoyed a candlelit dinner at the resort’s waterfront restaurant, savoring fresh seafood while the sun set over the horizon. It was nothing short of magical. Overall, my stay at Sun Gardens Resort was the most amazing resort experience I’ve ever had, and I owe it all to Alyssa’s meticulous planning and attention to detail. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone looking to create unforgettable travel memories. Thank you, Alyssa, for an extraordinary getaway!

Amazing. Alyssa knew it was important for me to feel safe going to a concert late at night and found this hotel with only a 7 minute walk!
