About

As a personalized travel experience designer, I help people stop saying “we should go somewhere” and actually go without the stress, the guessing, or the regret. Planning travel today can feel overwhelming, with endless options, conflicting reviews, and too many tabs open at once. My role is to simplify the entire process and turn your ideas into a seamless, personalized travel experience that feels thoughtful, intentional, and completely taken care of from start to finish.

Because being a travel advisor is so much more than booking hotels and flights. I’m a custom travel planner and luxury travel consultant who takes your Pinterest boards, screenshots, and “I kinda want to go somewhere…” thoughts and turns them into real trips that flow effortlessly. My clients come to me when they’re overwhelmed by research, tired of guessing what’s legit, or want a custom itinerary that feels meaningful — not cookie-cutter.

I design personalized vacations based on how you want to feel, not just where you want to go. That means the right pacing, experiences that actually fit your style, and trusted local destination experts who make things run smoothly on the ground. Thanks to my global travel network, I help you skip the places that look great online but disappoint in real life — and instead unlock those “wow, I never would’ve found this on my own” moments that make travel unforgettable.

What I Actually Help With

Seamless Family Planning

Getting grandparents, kids, and everyone in between on the same page is a full-time job — lucky for you, it’s mine.

Planning a trip

Planning a trip for your whole crew sounds fun until you’re chasing payments and juggling personalities. I take that off your plate.

Pure Wedding Escape

You have been drowning in wedding day decisions from seating plans to color schemes since the moment he pulled out the ring. So what if all you had to think about on your honeymoon was whether to have breakfast in bed or on the balcony?

Family-Friendly Planning

You want a trip your kids love — but you also want five minutes to drink your coffee while it’s still hot. That’s what I plan for.

Only the Best

And when it comes to hotels? We’re not here for “meh.” Thanks to my insider knowledge and industry connections, I’ll help you avoid the properties that look five‑star online but don’t actually feel that way once you arrive.

How I Make Travel Easier

I make sure your travel days aren’t nightmares — no missed connections, confusing transfers, or last-minute drama. You don’t need to lose an entire weekend Googling “best time to visit Costa Rica.” I’ve already done the research, vetted the resorts, and figured out what’s actually worth your time and money.

I don’t just toss you links. I give experience-backed recommendations tailored to your pace, preferences, and travel style. And if something unexpected pops up while you’re traveling? I’m one text away. No hold music. No explaining your story five times. Just help that actually helps.

I plan with intention. Whether you’re craving rest, reconnection, adventure, or something completely new, I’ll design a trip that feels right — before you even leave home.

Why choose The Wanderlust Escapes

Our Promise: Precision Over Guesswork

You’re not hiring a travel advisor to figure it out as you go. You’re choosing a partner who plans with intention and precision. Every custom vacation plan is shaped by long-standing relationships with vetted global suppliers, trusted on-the-ground experts, and real-world experience — not assumptions or best guesses.

These relationships allow access to complimentary benefits, preferred amenities, and exclusive, bucket-list experiences that aren’t always visible to the public. Just as importantly, I don’t simply listen to what you want — I work with you to refine it, elevate it, and turn it into an itinerary that flows beautifully and often exceeds expectations. Your experience, enjoyment, and peace of mind aren’t an afterthought — they’re the priority at every stage of planning.

Accommodation Choices That Actually Change the Experience

The right hotel can make or break a trip — and star ratings don’t tell the full story. I focus on experience-driven accommodations, not just luxury labels. That means location that saves you time, room categories that make sense for how you travel, and properties that feel right once you’re actually there. You won’t end up thinking, “This looked better online.”

I can offer access to exclusive amenities and preferred benefits at over 500 hotels and luxury lodges worldwide. These added perks are designed to enhance your stay and deliver real value — the kind that often isn’t available when booking on your own.

Depending on availability, benefits may include:

  • Complimentary daily breakfast for two
  • Hotel or resort credits to use on dining, spa services, or experiences
  • Priority for room upgrades
  • Early check-in and late check-out
  • Thoughtful welcome amenities upon arrival

Don’t leave perks on the table. With the right travel advisor, your hotel experience can be elevated before you even arrive.

The Extra Mile Happens Before You Travel

Most problems happen because of what wasn’t thought through ahead of time. I work backward from potential friction points — long travel days, awkward transfers, unrealistic pacing — and eliminate them before they exist. This is proactive travel planning, not reactive problem-solving. The result? Travel days that feel manageable and trips that don’t require recovery time when you get home.

Options You Didn’t Know Were Available

The best travel experiences aren’t always the most visible ones. Through my destination-specific relationships and on-the-ground travel partners, I surface options that don’t show up in a quick search — from better routing to smarter itinerary flow to experiences that actually feel special once you’re there. You’ll see fewer choices, but better ones.

Thoughtful Travel With Purpose

How you travel matters. I intentionally work with partners who prioritize ethical operations, local expertise, and long-term sustainability — not just convenience. This approach creates richer experiences for you and a more positive impact on the places you visit. It’s responsible travel planning that feels good while you’re there — and long after you’re home.

5 Travel Advisor Myths

 There is so much misinformation out there regarding the travel advising industry.

  • It’s too expensive to hire a travel advisor”
  • “I can plan the same trip faster by myself”
  • “I can find the same perks on my own”

Many people don’t realize how much the travel industry has evolved over the last few years! People are traveling at RECORD levels. Much of the information available online is outdated or conflicting, and often properties are fully booked by the time you make a decision.

Working with a travel advisor is a deeply personal decision. You are trusting them with a lot of money to plan a trip you may have been waiting your whole life to take.

It is my mission to create long-term partnerships and friendships with my clients! You will never be just a number, and I will fully invest my time and resources into creating your dream vacation as if it were my own

Does researching an entire trip, spending hours sorting through reviews and articles online, then booking your own accommodations, dining, transportation, excursions, and tour guides really sound all that easy?

It can take over 10-20 hours to plan a full itinerary! Travel advisors spend the time learning your travel preferences, researching the destination, and then curating the perfect itinerary for you.

Ultimately, working with an advisor will save you an incredible amount of time AND stress. While we aren't a discount service (though we will always keep an eye out for good deals), we do remove the element of uncertainty and always ensure a high standard of quality when planning your vacation!

Sure, you can hop on ChatGPT and get an itinerary in seconds. The same generic one that your friend would get. Or your co-worker.

As travel professionals, we are constantly researching and learning about new trends and options within the travel market. We talk to destination partners and fellow travel industry colleagues to stay on top of the latest and greatest offerings. We know the hotel managers. We have local contacts on the ground in these destinations who are experts in their respective countries and cities.

We make the human connections and add the human touch that a computer system could never replicate!

FALSE!

If you have a specific vision in mind, it is my job to bring that vision to life! The level of how much you would like to be involved with your vacation planning is completely up to you.

Plus, you always have the option to edit your proposal before we confirm the booking. Don't be afraid to speak up if something is not to your liking. The more involved you are with the process, the more I will get to know you and be able to perfect the details of your trip!

This is an extremely common misconception! My host agency is partnered with some of the leading hotel groups in the world. Through these partnerships, I can secure added perks such as room upgrades, free breakfast, late check-out, etc.

While yes, we generally only book properties that pay us commission; it is not at the expense of your budget! These partners offer a variety of options ranging from five star luxury to small boutique properties. They have been thoroughly vetted by long standing consortiums and travel professionals, and offer us much more control in the event that anything goes wrong with your reservation.

Ouch! So not true!

I'm not here to take your money and run. I enjoy building long-term partnerships and friendships with my clients! Nothing brings me more joy than watching a vacation go from dream to reality, and being able to follow along on your travels. Travel is an investment, and just as you would want to hire a financial advisor to handle your retirement funds, you should also trust a travel advisor to transform your travel experience!

BEST PART is I don't charge a fee. We will discuss ideas for the trip and get to know each other. If you feel l am not the right fit for your travel needs, just kindly let me know!
