About
An Oregon-based single mom specializing in crafting transformative travel experiences for family, group or solo escapes. With beaches and nature at the forefront, I expertly curate revitalizing getaways that blend adventure and relaxation.
Travel style
I enjoy transformative travel that combines adventure, relaxation and immersion in nature's awe-inspiring landscapes. I like being transported from the hustle of everyday life into the tranquility and wonder of a new location. Embracing the local culture and cuisine is an integral part of my travel experience. I love to savor authentic flavors and traditions through locally acclaimed restaurants, immersive tours, spiritual experiences and visits to historical sites that unveil the rich tapestry of each destination.
As a female traveler, safety is of utmost importance for me and my family. I meticulously handpick secure accommodations and activities, ensuring peace of mind while traveling. I can alleviate the burden of planning, saving you valuable time while crafting an unforgettable vacation tailored to your specific preferences.
