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
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!
