Travel style

I am obsessed with travel. I live to research to the end of the earth to find the best possible hotels, restaurants, and experiences that are unique and special for my family. I love a mix of high and low, luxury and boutique to round out my experiences. I love a beautiful and welcoming space coupled with amazing hospitality that makes you want to come back again and again or never leave. When it comes to designing my itineraries, it's about finding the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. Food is my love language, so finding a hole in the wall or a local spot always feels like a win. But mostly, I just want to show my kids the world and pass on my love of travel to them. Happy traveling!

Tarika's reviews

I told Tarika I wanted a nice stay but nothing too crazy $$ because we'd only be sleeping at the hotel, not experiencing it - and her recommendation of the Conrad Bangkok was a perfect fit.

Tarika has her finger on the pulse of all the best hotels, but has really benefited me as a client because she also has a strong understanding of what's the best in the world of 5 star boutique hotels - which our family prefers to bigger outfits. Raya Heritage is a perfect example of this kind of hotel which came to her mind straight away when we began planning our trip.

Tarika was able to get us free daily breakfast (so great when you have kids) and extra $ perks - the daily breakfast was EXTRA appreciated given the yummy Six Senses buffet.
