About

I am a planner by nature, a researcher by habit and a travel lover by experience. Connect with me to learn about the free perks we can get you for your staycation, honeymoon, babymoon, bachelorette party or that bucket list vacation you've been dreaming of! I can also work with you to manage group bookings or wedding hotel blocks (brides, let me take this off your to-do list)!

Travel style

I like to say that I have Dom Pérignon taste on a Veuve budget when it comes to travel. I love to strike a balance when it comes to planning a trip, knowing when to splurge and how to save, so you have the most luxe experience possible without breaking the bank.

But if you want to break the bank, I am here for that, too!

Elise was amazing at helping our larger group find not only the right destination, but the perfect hotel! She was quick, easy to communicate with, so nice and accommodating to our needs. She was very knowledgeable about what our options could be and helped us get the girls trip out of the group chat! Thanks Elise!
