About

I’m Maggie: lover of the ocean, craft beer and Google Maps. My passion lies in people and human connection — this is why I travel.

My goal: make travel accessible in a way that transcends your Instagram discover page. While social media can be a wonderful tool for education and research, it is impersonal. I aim to use my interpersonal skills developed over years of working as an actor to create truly unique travel memories that will surpass anything AI or search engine generated.

Travel style

I’m all about intentional travel. Each trip will be different – because you will be different, too. It depends on what you want and need in that moment. Catch me budget backpacking Eastern Europe one month, and soaking up the Caribbean sun the next. I obsessively make lists on Google Maps while embracing spontaneity. I know when to be a tourist and when to sniff out the best local spots. You’ll find me wandering the streets alone by day, followed by dinner and drinks with new friends by night.

If you couldn't tell by my guides — I love beer. Let me plan you a trip around it.

Maggie's reviews

Maggie was INCREDIBLE throughout this process. I came in with a few requests (clear blue water, somewhere in Europe, lots of fish to eat, private beach) and she found us multiple properties across multiple countries that would have been a great fit. When we settled on Dubrovnik, she handled all of our room requests and helped us find excursions for our time. I can't recommend booking through her more!

Maggie was very knowledgeable & attentive to our needs. Maggie gave us a few choices of hotels. She reserved our hotel & took care of our tours as well. Recommended her services already to friends & family. Thank you Maggie, you made our first European vacation a memorable one ❤️

Maggie was an incredible support. I came to her on short notice, but she provided us so much support in that time. Within an hour of my initial request, she gave me a personalized list of hotels (including transportation information to our concert venue!). She used her hands-on experience with NYC to provide us a truly tailored list of recommendations, and the perks that she was able to provide us gave us so much more value for our stay. We were able to stay at a high-quality hotel, got a wonderful bottle of prosecco, free dinner AND breakfast, for less than the price of the cheapest hotel otherwise. I had an amazing time booking with Maggie!

Excellent and thorough assistance with every aspect of my trip! Very knowledgeable & helpful with great suggestions and information! Would use again many times! Thank you!!
