About
Planning obsessed advertising/marketing veteran, with 10 years running my own travel planning service focused on Napa/Sonoma Wine Country and Austin, but now serving the world!
Travel style
While I love planning all the details, for my own travels and for anyone else, I cannot recommend enough to savor some unplanned time to smell the roses, discovery something unexpected and enjoy some serendipitous moments...whether on the beach, exploring historical sites, shopping 'til you drop, eating local bites, star gazing, or feeding elephants.
