Travel style

Travel should be a time to expand your mind, reset your thinking and relax your body. I believe in high-touch experiences that deepen one's understanding of the culture or area being explored. My personal focus has always been on the history and food of the regions I visit, with a particular emphasis on wine, as I am a certified sommelier. More recently, with two young daughters, I have begun to explore family-friendly travel. Most importantly, I seek balance in trips, combining exciting and educational experiences with relaxed time for processing, bonding and decompression.

Meghan's reviews

Easy peezy. Would definitely be booking with her in future. Thanks, Meghan.

This is my first visit in Silicon Valley so I had no idea where to stay. I told Meghan my preference and she gave me some recommendations for me to pick.

Meghan has known exactly what I want and need since the day I met her. I have happily let her plan for me ever since.

Meghan was an incredible partner in booking this experience for us, starting with sending multiple options and once we narrowed in on the resort, helping to secure the best room possible within a two week window. She was responsive and quick to book once we were ready. Meghan also went above and beyond by contacting the resort to let them know of our bday celebration, upgrading our room, sending a bottle of wine to the room and giving us an early check-in. I will book all future big vacations with her, 100%.
