My Story
An Emmy-Award-winning TV Producer turned travel advisor and travel blogger, living in Brooklyn with my husband and fur babies. Either on a trip or dreaming about my next one.
Travel Style
Since I was a little kid, my heart has been full of wanderlust. Travel is the one thing that makes me feel truly alive. I love to explore new places (close to home or a 20-hour flight away) and immerse myself in different cultures. Whether it’s eating my way through Italy or getting lost on the streets of Tokyo, I’m always up for an adventure. With 50+ countries under my belt (and a stint living abroad in India), I am fortunate to have traveled extensively for both work and pleasure. Now, I want to share my ‘off the beaten path’ travel knowledge with you and help you plan your dream trip.

Meredith is lovely to work with: attentive, joyful, easy to speak to. She really understands what we're after (or looking to avoid) and directs us accordingly. She was very easy to work with and always available both before, during and after our trip. We will definitely work with Meredith again.

There is just one name that eases and enhances our travel minds and trips. It’s Meredith. From the moment, we start talking about going somewhere Meredith helps turn an idea into a concrete plan.
Meredith is the kind of person you hope to find but rarely do. She is passionate, attentive from the start, and takes the time to really get to know you. She is honest about what is doable, which builds trust right away, and she stays flexible by working within our budget while shaping options that feel very us or she recommends for a big or small trip.
We planned our trip to Mexico City a bit last minute, and she handled it seamlessly. Her recommendations feel personal. When she knows a place/property, she shares real insight. When she does not, she says so and looks into it. She found our food tour that included buses, subways, and markets. It was a great way to move throughout the city, secured the guide she trusted, and planned the rest of our activities around it in a way that just worked!
When we ran into issues exchanging money, she stayed present and responsive, offering solutions and being ready to adjust plans if needed. That kind of support matters to us when we are traveling.
She balances guidance really well. She gives us time to think, but when something is about to go, like our food tour booking, she makes sure we do not miss it. She also consistently recommends great restaurants and activities, all tailored to our preferences and even our quirks.
Meredith is thoughtful, responsive, and genuinely invested in making sure we have a great experience. We always feel supported, and as people who ask a lot of questions, her clear insights ( patience) and enthusiasm bring a sense of calm. She involves us in decisions while taking away the stress.
She has truly changed the way we travel for the better including traveling more!

How to Spend 5 Days in Mexico City
Have you been to Mexico City? If not, you need to add it to your travel list immediately!

The Ultimate Skiing Guide for Jackson Hole, Wyoming
Jackson Hole is one of the premiere ski resorts in the country, and I recommend it to everyone who asks me where to ski or snowboard out west!
Why? Because the Jackson Hole Ski Resort does it right, they understand hospitality and the importance of creating a seamless experience for their guests.
The best way they do this is by limiting the number of skiers on the mountain each day. This means no lift lines or crowded trails. Combine all this with challenging and technical terrain, along with epic views (you are in the Grand Tetons, after all!) and you have the makings of an incredible ski or snowboarding trip.
Curious to know more about all that Jackson Hole has to offer? Keep reading to discover why this mountain town should be where you book your next ski trip.
