Travel style

I’m passionate about exploring new places and finding the best restaurant in every city. I love spending time researching new cities and planning great itineraries that allow me to experience what makes each city great. I enjoy slow travel and emphasize spending time in each city to really feel like a local. My favorite part about traveling is being able to share experiences with my loved ones and share recommendations for the best restaurants with other travelers.

Emily's reviews

My experience booking with Emily was nothing short of wonderful! We were in town for The Eras Tour, and Emily picked the perfect spot for us given our budget and plans for the weekend. We took a Red Eye into Dublin and Emily arranged for an early check-in. The hotel was fabulous and in a perfect location. We were right by a bus stop, and we were able to walk or take the bus wherever we needed to go. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Even though we were in different timezones, Emily was just a quick text away if we needed anything. I will definitely be booking with Emily again!
