About
I have traveled to 49 countries and I enjoy planning trips almost as much as I love going on them! Whether I’m planning a quick weekend away or an epic trip with stops in multiple continents, countries, and cities, I find planning to be like putting together pieces of a puzzle- there’s always a way no matter the time constraints or budget! Whether it’s an African safari, a beach getaway, a road trip through Europe, or a long weekend, I’ve got you.
Travel style
There’s something about a fancy hotel with a beautiful view! I love luxury travel, but I’m also an expert at planning trips that include a boutique hotel stay or two so you can go big on a luxe hotel for a few nights. I think public transportation is a great way to see new places, but I know that renting a car can allow for more freedom and flexibility, and more importantly, allow you to get to those less crowded, off-the-beaten-path destinations. My go-to trips involve a mix of relaxation, adventure, nature (if you can involve animals, I’m all in!), and of course, plenty of opportunities to eat great food and sip beverages while staring at a gorgeous view.
Travel is easier than you think. Let's get you out there!

MacKenna made booking this vaca a breeze. She was thoughtful, personalized, and quick to provide several great options for my stay at my price point and with notes on each. I usually prefer to be in the driver seat when it comes to planning trips, and it’s refreshing to know I can trust someone else to do what I could do but way better. I will definitely work with her again!

MacKenna was so knowledgeable about the area and found us a resort with a location that could not suit our itinerary more. I love that she provided us two options, one "ultra-luxe" and one "luxe", and pointed out we wouldn't be in our room very much, so we likely wouldn't get much out of the "ultra-luxe" option this trip. Appreciated the advice (and honesty). MacKenna also got us early check-in, an upgraded room, free breakfast and $100 resort credit. She was so easy and kind to work with (thanks for changing our original reservation for us!). Can't recommend her enough.

MacKenna is the best! We originally began planning our trip with another agent who didn't listen to us and didn't communicate before switching to MacKenna, and I am so glad we did. She listened to our preferences, provided us with wonderful options (and not too many, since I'm not great with decision-making), and kept everything organized for us in this fantastic app that made it super easy to see everything for our trip, from flights and trains to tours and leisure days. It was such a great experience working with her that while we were on our trip, we started talking about the next one she could plan for us.
