Travel style

From volunteering in South Africa and backpacking across Southeast Asia to now exploring the world with a touch more grandeur (although I still relish the occasional rugged adventure), travel has been ingrained in my DNA for as long as I can remember.

I infuse each trip I design with a blend of adventure and leisure — be it by the beach, amid mountain peaks or within vibrant cityscapes. I always strive to discover hidden gems and off-the-beaten-path places. My bread and butter is crafting itineraries that balance organized excursions with lots of time for impromptu plans or having no plans at all. My trips tend to be budget-savvy with a hint of luxury. I like to spend my travels immersing myself as a local and enjoying great food with my favorite people.

Kelsey's reviews

Kelsey was so helpful! She perfectly curated a weekend in Laguna for us. From finding the cutest hotel, to helping us plan our itinerary- she so effortlessly helped create the best weekend getaway for us. I highly recommend using her for any travel needs!

Kelsey presented the hotel as a great spot for first time visitors, and she was totally right!! Can't imagine a better location or hotel - rooms were immaculate and we walked almost everywhere right from the front door. Thank you Kelsey for the incredible suggestion!!!

Kelsey is amazing! She was extremely thoughtful and helpful during our planning and booking process - sending over tons of recommendations and guides for the places we were staying and providing awesome hotel recommendations. She listened to any feedback that we had and maintained an organized and cohesive list of accommodations for us; it was also great to have someone communicating with the hotel on our behalf to make sure everything was as we planned! Additionally, Kelsey has a wealth of travel knowledge based on her extensive travels which made the whole process even better - she is the perfect person to bounce ideas off of and to receive advice from! I plan to work with Kelsey for all of my future travels - you really can't go wrong with her!

Kelsey made planning our honeymoon a dream! She recommended the best hotels and activities during our stay. She also communicated with the hotels that we were on our honeymoon and were treated to many gifts and champagne!
