About

I’ve been obsessed with travel from a young age and have made it a priority to see new places as often as possible, gathering more experiences than souvenirs along the way. I love traveling both near and far from home and will use that passion to curate experiences for you — so you can spend less time planning and more time enjoying.

Travel style

As an interior designer by training, I know how impactful places and spaces are to people, and I often find my biggest inspirations by traveling. Shaping the built environment through design or shaping the human experience through amazing adventures while traveling have so many similarities. I love getting to know the food, culture, architecture and art everywhere I go. You can find me exploring cities or spending leisurely days by the water — ideally both!
