About
Retired exec turned travel advisor, slow traveler and planner. Passionate about crafting immersive journeys that celebrate culture, food and adventure.
Travel style
I’ve evolved from a globe-trotting backpacker to a slow-travel enthusiast who treasures meaningful cultural experiences, active adventures and those unforgettable moments that come from taking the road less-traveled. From Cambodia’s ancient temples to France’s charming streets, Colombia’s vibrant culture and Nicaragua’s natural beauty, I’ve explored many off-the-beaten-track destinations that have shaped my love for authentic travel. My ideal trips balance iconic must-sees with hidden gems, offering depth and discovery. I love boutique hotels with a touch of whimsy, comfy beds, great coffee, friendly staff and a proactive concierge. As a Fora travel advisor, I love creating bespoke itineraries by combining my research obsession with access to curated recommendations from a global community of experts. Let’s collaborate to craft your perfect getaway, blending luxury, culture and adventure. Pack your bags — your next journey awaits!

Nancy's reviews
Nancy understood the assignment and completely nailed it! It was a relatively late booking so accommodations were not easy to find but Nancy was able to find just what we were looking for and solidified the reservations. It was my first travel experience with Nancy but wont be my last.
