Itineraries
I'd love to help you find the coolest places to stay, best places to eat, and coolest adventures to have — no matter your budget. I've been travelling/blogging for the last 10+ years, and I work as an editor for a travel website, so I've developed excellent research skills and know how to uncover the best hidden gems (if I haven't already found them myself IRL!). I only ever recommend things I have done or would do myself, and I'm dedicated to finding the best balance of must-see and off-the-beaten-track activities. I've worked in hospitality and have booked hundreds of flights/hotels/Airbnbs for my own trips, so I'm confident in the planning and booking process, and can help you manage any snags if they arise when you're on your trip.
