Travel style

Exploring the unknown and diving into new experiences is my go-to. I thrive on seeking out unseen wonders and diving headfirst into novel activities. After a day filled with discovery, there's nothing quite like winding down with a delightful glass of wine to savor the day's adventures.

Karina's reviews

So thankful for Karina. Decided to head to Paso for last minute trip and she was able to book us large suite for a great price. How she was able to book this great find last minute amazes me.

Karina was great! We truly appreciated the perks that she provided! This was a last minute decision to have a staycation during a busy holiday weekend and celebrate my wife’s birthday. Karina was able to find us a great place in such short notice! She also had the hotel provide us with a welcome/birthday note and fruit bowl. The perks Karina provided were a beautiful view of the bay, daily breakfast for two that included great food, $100 resort credit and a very late checkout. The late checkout was what blew us away because it was a very busy holiday weekend. Thanks again, Karina and FORA for the great service and making my wife’s birthday special!

Karina went above & beyond to make this trip special. She made sure we had a beautiful room with a view of the stadium we love to go to. She also included extra perks like vouchers for meals & a hotel credit which we really enjoyed. Karina also kept us updated with all the information we needed for a very memorable trip. Thank you so much!
