About
I’m either packing my suitcase or daydreaming about my next adventure, because life is more exciting with a trip on the horizon. On a mission to turn your hard-earned time off into memories that linger long after you’re back home. Life’s too short for an ordinary trip; let’s make them unforgettable.
Travel style
I specialize in curating elevated vacations with practical budgets, whether you’re planning a weekend getaway or overseas adventure. As a points expert, I can help you maximize your points to unlock international business class seats—freeing up your budget for better hotels, immersive activities and moments that become core memories. I handle hotel, cruise and vacation package bookings at the same rates you’d find online, passing on additional amenities at no extra cost. I’ll secure member rates, attach your loyalty number and add perks like complimentary breakfast, resort credits, or room upgrades where available.
Already have a hotel in mind? I can book it and elevate your stay with VIP treatment. Need more help with your trip? I can arrange ground transportation, secure insider access, and book tours that go beyond the typical tourist checklist. Think of me as your personal travel concierge—here to unlock smarter, stress-free journeys that bring you joy and extra privileges. If you’re thinking of your next trip, let’s connect.
