it's so nice to meet you!
My passion for travel was born from sun-drenched summers in Portugal, where I would visit family and immerse myself in the sights, sounds, and flavors of a culture that quickly became an integral part of me. The salty sea breeze, the mouthwatering aroma of grilled seafood, and the soulful melodies of fado music ignited a lifelong love for exploring new places and cultures. After studying abroad in Barcelona, I transitioned into the corporate world, where I used every vacation day to travel to new destinations.
A unique combination of wanderlust and business expertise is at the core of my approach to travel planning. With 15 years of experience in business strategy and operations, I’ve learned how to turn broad visions into meticulously curated experiences. Whether it's planning a luxurious honeymoon through Europe or arranging a once-in-a-lifetime safari in Tanzania, I take pride in handling the details that make each trip feel personalized and unforgettable.
When I’m not crafting dream itineraries, you’ll find me in the suburbs just outside of NYC, enjoying family life with my husband, our two daughters, and our playful rescue pup, Leo. On weekends, I’m either hosting dinner parties, experimenting with new baking recipes, or hunting down the best coffee spots. And of course, I’m always traveling for “research” to discover new experiences and hidden gems!
