I'm a travel obsessed mom to three busy kids and a dog, based in Raleigh, NC but in a constant state of wanderlust. As a Fora Travel Advisor, I'm on a mission to explore the world and help others create unforgettable travel experiences that go beyond the ordinary.
My Travel Philosophy
I believe the best travel experiences happen when you see the sights of new places while going off-the-beaten-path to get a fully immersive experience – the food, the wine, the music, the culture. Whether you're seeking a fabulous pool, a beautiful sunset, or exploring Bavarian castles and churches, I'm here to craft personalized journeys that speak to your soul.
Most of my travel days begin with a cup of coffee and end with a glass of wine – and I believe your vacation should feel just as perfectly balanced between adventure and relaxation.
