About

If travel planning were an olympic sport, I’d be going for gold. For 15+ years I obsessed over the details as a Marketing Director in Tech, and now I’m taking my passion for travel full-time.

Travel style

Once I have a destination in mind, I map out the top sites and activities, best hotels, and of course, restaurants. I choose hotels based on central location, value (price & perks) and unique experiences they offer. My ultimate city travel day: free breakfast at the hotel — then off to explore museums, cafes, and...the unexpected. Meet up with old friends for dinner or a show, and top it off with a nightcap in the lobby bar. Ultimate beach vacation? Watching the waves with a coconut drink in one hand and a mystery book in another.

Contact me if you have an upcoming trip and want to explore how to travel like a pro.

Jon 's reviews

Love the personalization of the recommendation and the lovely welcome gift. Jon reached to let me know that the hotel was expecting me and checked in to see how my stay was. Great service!

Working with Jon was so easy and helpful. He sent us an itinerary ahead of time. Followed up several times to make sure we were all set. By booking with Jon we were also upgraded to the one bedroom suite which was such a special treat. Jon is communicative, always available to answer questions, and had great recommendations. I look forward to booking my next trip with Jon!

Jon is responsive, knowledgeable and resourceful. He gives options, recommendations and his help removed all the analysis paralysis I normally associate with vacation planning. I'm so thankful for his help. Highly recommend.
