Former chef, now farmer's market manager. I love creating experiences that encourage growth through food and travel. Did you know eating is the only human function that requires the use of all 5 senses?

Samantha's reviews

Samantha is hands down the best travel agent I’ve ever had (and I’ve had many over the years). She makes any trip we take 10x better and her attention to detail is unmatched. Our trip to Santa Barbara was a bit stressful because we took both our kids for the first time, but working with Samantha took so much pressure off. She helped find babysitters, book dinners, secure the hotel, and made sure we were taken care of while there. I won’t use anyone else to help with my vacations. We are so happy to have found her!

Samantha was the absolute best! Trying to coordinate all five of us was a chore I’m sure but she seamlessly managed it. We had great hotels, tours and dinner reservations. Could not have asked for anything more. Any future vacations will be orchestrated through her.
