Travel style

I’m that person who has a million tabs open when researching and booking travel, squinting in on all the pictures I can find to see if a hotel looks clean, cared for, with un-lumpy mattresses and good lighting. I love the thrill of finding that perfect stay, that perfect transportation plan and that perfect coffee shop, in advance, but also in the moment, of the moment. My specialty for adult travel is that special experience, whether it’s a boutique or luxury property. When I travel with my kids, I work hard to balance a memorable experience for our family with comfort, value and practicality.

When I travel, my priorities are:

- Local food & drinks that I will remember when I return home
- Experiencing the local culture through art and architecture
- Finding tasteful, unique gifts & items
- Balancing family-friendly travel with solo & adult-friendly activities

Carly's reviews

Gregory H.
Booked travel to Bordeaux
September 2024

Communication was timely and clear. Reservation noted we had children, so the hotel was very accommodating. Anytime I had a question Carly was quick to reach out to the hotel.

Lauren A.
Booked travel to England
August 2024

Carly picked a place that was the right mix of charm, convenience and price.

Thomas H.
Booked travel to Alaska
August 2024

Very easy to organize and understand. No need for the drinks for a short trip though - they were wasted.
