Profile details
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.

Jon 's reviews
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 was very proactive and called ahead to ensure all of my needs were met. I was able to get early check in and the two rooms I booked were located together. I received a nice welcome note and got $100 resort credit with $60 breakfast credit. Exceptional service.
