About

California-born and raised, I split my time between LA and the Bay Area. From Mendocino to Big Sur, the CA coastline is my happy place, especially when a weekend is spent at a waterfront boutique hotel catching the sunset and stopping at my favorite restaurants and wineries. My focus on details and budget as an event manager, combined with my love of researching and exploring new destinations, has given me the perfect tools to plan your next getaway.

Travel style

I love planning trips from the beginning to the end while leaving room for spontaneity. Once I have a destination in mind, I list all of the places I'm interested in visiting, from restaurants to hotels to local culture, discovering the best route forward. I see travel as an opportunity to feel like your most present self, unplugging from the day while fully immersing yourself in new experiences. I'm drawn to places grounded in nature but also appreciate the thoughtful details of a luxurious hotel. Travel is what I love to think about, and I’m overjoyed to help others see the world.

Katherine's reviews

Katherine is AMAZING! And this will not be my last time booking with her. Super communicative, flexible and met all of our needs and more with booking rooms for a large group of 17 people! The best thing you can do for yourself on a trip is book with Katherine. She knows all the best hotels in the most amazing locations!

Katherine is beyond amazing and I will continue to book with her for the rest of our vacations. Especially with this being a first time visit, Katherine made everything stress free and seamless. She put us in the best hotels and made sure we were in the center of everything. Cannot thank Katherine enough for everything she did!

Katherine was incredibly prompt in supporting what I was looking for. I was planning a surprise trip for my Wife and Katherine went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect from room upgrades, enhanced accommodations at the hotel, and even made sure we had restaurant reservations and itinerary outside of the hotel booking.
