As a young adult continuing to achieve my travel dreams while pursuing a career, I have been able to get to know many divergent cities through cuisine and history on a budget. I have lived in Rome, San Diego, Glasgow, London and Boston, all in that order, in search of the best museums, local restaurants and historical gems hidden through various cities! 

I have been able to pursue higher education abroad and would be delighted to aid undergraduate and graduate students navigate the visa process. This process can be very stressful and look different for every student and their unique career paths. Allow me take away the stress of attaining the visa so you can unlock your study abroad dreams!

Here are some travel inspirations we can discuss:

✨ What kind of traveller you are and what kind of activities you like to do on vacation -- are you a city or a beach person?

✨ How to travel mindfully and safely to maximize your journey, especially for all my female travelers!

✨ Do you want a busy or flexible schedule -- are you a spontaneously traveller or do you need more direction?

✨ Where to treat yourself financially based on the location!

✨ Where would you like to study abroad -- what are the projected costs for your time abroad?

Whatever type of traveller or experience that you're looking to have, I want to help you achieve those goals and leave you with an unforgettable, one in a lifetime experience! I suggest preparing some thoughts to the inspirations above, and constructing a realistic budget for your trip before our consultation. Let's start planning ✈️🥂🎉

Can I cancel or reschedule my consultation?

Why would it benefit me to book a consultation with a creator?

What timezone are the consultations based in?

That's where I come in 😊

I offer custom itinerary planning that will leave the intricate details of your trip to my creative workshop and allow me to do something I genuinely love: sharing my travel experiences with you!

I have lived in Rome, San Diego, Glasgow, London, & Boston all in that order. Living and working in these amazing cities really allowed me the space and time to get to know the uniques places that make these cities amazing! I was able to do a lot of solo traveling in all of these places and I'm happy to give advice from the perspective of a young female traveler in all of these cities.

I love curating recommendations based on the type of traveler you are and what you are looking to experience during your trip!

✅ Types of recommendations I can help with:

🎯 Please be as specific as possible - especially for the Standard 10 Recs package - when describing what kinds of curated recommendations you want. For example, for an order of 10 recs, you can say "I want 2 dine dining restaurants, 3 coffee shops (including 1 that's laptop-friendly), 2 museums that are not the main tourist attractions, 1 day trip, and 2 parks," or "I want 4 laptop-friendly cafes, 3 off the beaten path experiences, and 3 classic sites." For Premium and Luxe packages, you can say more generally what 'mix' or recs you prefer and I will do my best to provide a good balance.
