About
Nashville-based jetsetter and passionate foodie, I'm your luxury travel planner with a knack for finding those hidden gems and perks that elevate a good trip to unforgettable. Whether it's soaking in the vibes of a luxe beach resort or uncovering the pulse of new cities, I blend insider tips with a deep love for the extraordinary. Let's craft your travel narrative, from Music City to the far corners of the globe, infusing each journey with delicious experiences, perk-packed adventures and a generous dose of spontaneity.
Travel style
Imagine having a travel buddy who lives for unlocking the best perks, dines like a local food critic and thrives on crafting those "just right" moments that make a trip unforgettable. That's me! I'm all about diving deep into the heart of every destination, from the chic streets of a bustling city center to the serene beaches of Mexico, always with an eye for the exquisite and the exceptional.
My travel mantra? Plan smart, then let the adventure unfold. I believe in setting a solid travel framework, peppered with must-try dining spots (courtesy of my endless Eater research) and not-to-miss experiences. Yet, I'm always ready to veer off the beaten path at a moment's notice for those spontaneous, can't-miss local gems.
My journey into the world of travel took a thrilling turn when I celebrated my birthday on a Virgin Voyages cruise in the Mediterranean. Let's just say, I'm hooked! The blend of luxe relaxation, top-tier service and that unique Virgin vibe opened up a whole new dimension of travel for me.
Whether you're dreaming of a luxe beach getaway with exceptional service, a cultural dive into new cityscapes or a culinary expedition that tantalizes your taste buds, I've got the inside scoop. And let's not forget about maximizing those points and miles for an experience that feels indulgent yet savvy.
Traveling with Otis, my miniature dachshund, has taught me the ins and outs of pet-friendly travel without compromising on style or comfort. From boutique hideaways to luxurious havens, I ensure every stay is memorable, especially when it comes with a view.
So, why book with me? Beyond my obsession with creating the ultimate customer experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge, a passion for food, culture and a knack for making every journey uniquely yours. Let's make your next trip not just a getaway but a journey filled with unforgettable moments, tailored just for you.

Bryant truly knows the ins and outs of Virgin voyages. He was able to help us get everything and more to say the least. From the beginning to end, Bryant made sure we had a room in a central location, he helped us take advantage of new and exciting things onboard that aren’t publicly advertised. Bryant was able to help us maximize all Virgin had to offer both on ship and also while on shore for our excursions. Bryant is very detail oriented and very passionate about travel and Virgin and it’s so easy to see from a conversation with him. I highly recommend anyone who wants their trip to be well planned out and take advantage of all the new and exciting offers. Bryant is your guy!
