I love creating trips that balance adventure and relaxation, whether it’s exploring local flavors, hiking scenic trails, or unwinding with a sundowner on a sailboat.

When people think of beach vacations, the conversation usually starts with international destinations. But some of the most memorable coastal escapes are right here in the U.S. 🇺🇸🌊

Lately, I’m seeing more interest in destinations that offer a strong sense of place, great hospitality, walkable towns, and a slower pace. The kind of trips where you spend your days exploring, eating well, and watching the sunset instead of rushing from one attraction to the next.

A few of my favorite American beach destinations:

🏖 Nantucket
🏖 Martha's Vineyard
🏖 Kiawah Island
🏖 Charleston
🏖 Montecito
🏖 Cannon Beach

Swipe through for some of my favorite hotels in each destination and why I recommend them. ✨

You don’t always need a passport to have an incredible beach vacation. Sometimes the perfect getaway is closer than you think.

The Canadian wilderness is one of those places that makes you slow down and really take it all in. Think glacier-fed lakes, cozy lodges, hiking trails, canoe adventures, and some of the most beautiful scenery in North America.

If this kind of trip has been on your list, this guide is a great place to start 👀

One thing I’m noticing with summer travel this year ✈️

More people aren’t asking “where should we go?”
They’re asking “how can we go back?”

Back to Italy.
Back to Greece.
Back to London.

But this time a little differently. Slower mornings. A different neighborhood or hotel. More time to actually settle in and experience the destination beyond the checklist.

Honestly, there’s something really special about returning to a place you already love. You spend less time trying to “see it all” and more time enjoying it.

And sometimes the right hotel, restaurant, or experience completely changes how a destination feels the second time around ✨

Tasty Tuesday Week 6 🍽️🌺

This week we’re heading to Kihei for one of our Maui favorites:

🍣 Cafe O'Lei

We keep coming back for the **short ribs and sushi** … which somehow works perfectly every time 😍

And don’t skip the cocktails. They’re the kind of tropical drinks that instantly put you into vacation mode.

Definitely worth adding to your Maui itinerary if you’re looking for a fun dinner spot with something for everyone.

It’s Global Travel Advisor Day… and most people have no idea what I actually do 👀✈️

Yes, I book hotels and trips. But it’s also:
• Building a multi-city Japan (Tokyo, Hakone, Kyoto, Osaka) or Europe (Greece, Croatia, Italy) itinerary that actually flows
• Planning sailing routes through the British Virgin Islands with the right stops, timing, and logistics
• Booking Maui trips with the right hotel, room, and perks
• Booking both international and domestic cruises
• Recommending experiences you wouldn’t find on your own, especially for my foodie-centric people
• And being the person you call when something doesn’t go as planned

A lot of what I do happens behind the scenes so your trip feels easy, seamless, and actually relaxing.

If you’ve trusted me with your travel, referred a friend, or followed along here, thank you. It means more than you know 🤍

Tasty Tuesdays 🍽️✈️

This week is all about tasting bubbles 🥂

If you’re heading to Vienna, don’t miss the Schlumberger Cellars tasting room. This was hands down one of the best tasting experiences I’ve done.

The self-guided tour is super informative, walking you through the history and process, and every pour along the way was genuinely excellent.

Save this one for your Vienna trip 👀

Don’t miss this BVI pro tip 🌴👇

Some of the best moments in the British Virgin Islands aren’t just the beaches, they’re the weekly and monthly events happening across the islands.

Here are a few to plan around:
🌕 Full Moon Party at Trellis Bay
🔥 Weekly BBQ + Happy Arrrr (pirate show) at Leverick Bay
🎶 North Beach Festival (Wednesdays) at Scrub Island Resort

These are the kinds of experiences that take a great itinerary and make it unforgettable.

Which island or event would you add to this list? 👀

Cruise season is here… where are you headed? 🚢

Seattle sailings are officially underway, and it’s one of the easiest ways to explore this summer. Think glaciers, wildlife, and long scenic days at sea if you’re heading north… or sunny island stops if you’re cruising elsewhere.

Whether it’s your first cruise or your fifth, having the right itinerary, cabin, and excursions lined up makes all the difference.

If you’re considering a cruise this summer (especially out of Seattle), I’m happy to help you sort through options and make it seamless from start to finish ✨

Domestic travel is having a serious moment right now 🇺🇸✈️ and Memorial Day weekend is the perfect excuse to finally book that trip you’ve been putting off.

Some of my favorite itineraries to put together lately have been entirely domestic:
🌲 long weekends in the mountains
🌊 coastal towns that don’t require a red-eye
🏞 national parks that genuinely stop you in your tracks

You don’t need a passport to have a great summer. You just need a plan. That’s where I come in.

If you’re figuring out where to go for Memorial Day weekend (or beyond), I’d love to help you map it out ✨
