About
I've always got wanderlust so my pet sitter is on speed dial. I live in magical Ojai, CA – so, home is pretty great, but my soul lives in France.
Travel style
I started my career with The Ritz-Carlton, so I'm a bit of a hotel snob (but in the best way). I love the beach and the mountains, Michelin-star worthy food and watching the world go by from sidewalk cafes.

Kim has planned a number of trips for us and we highly recommend her to anyone and everyone we know! They also say the same. She goes well beyond just booking a room. I won’t go on a vacation again without Kim being involved. She has so much travel knowledge and a caring heart too!
