Based in Chicago, United States
With a passion for exploration that has taken me across continents, I've cultivated a deep understanding of diverse cultures and breathtaking landscapes. My journey into the world of travel advising feels like a natural extension of a lifelong love affair with discovering new places and connecting with people around the globe. For three years, I had the incredible opportunity to live in Okinawa, Japan, immersing myself in the island's unique rhythm, rich history, and vibrant community. That experience profoundly shaped my perspective, teaching me the value of slow travel and the insights gained from truly living like a local. Now based in Chicago, I channel that passion and experience into crafting unforgettable journeys for others. Whether you dream of the ease of an all-inclusive resort, the charm of a boutique hotel tucked away on a European street, or an adventurous exploration through the bustling cities and serene landscapes of Japan, I delight in bringing those visions to life. I understand that every traveler is unique, and I tailor each itinerary to match your desired pace and interests, from meticulously planned hour-by-hour adventures to relaxed, go-with-the-flow escapes. My goal is to go beyond simply booking trips; I aim to create experiences that resonate long after you've returned home. Drawing on my own extensive travels and insider knowledge, I can offer recommendations that elevate your journey, perhaps suggesting a hidden gem I discovered in Okinawa or a favorite boutique hotel I adored in Seville. Through my affiliation with Fora Travel, I can also unlock exclusive perks and upgrades, adding extra value and special touches to your travels. I believe that travel has the power to transform, and I am dedicated to helping you embark on your next incredible adventure, filled with authentic moments and lasting memories.
