The mere mention of the year 2020 does not make most people feel warm and fuzzy. I will not sugarcoat it: 2020 was an extremely challenging year for the travel industry. Silver lining: the forced pause gave me time to reflect on the future direction of my career, my partnerships, my professional development, as well as my branding. The new year brings about restored optimism in the return to travel, and I could not be more thrilled to share my personal optimism and love for travel with you.
New Reflection + Brand
I have always been passionate about exploring the world, getting off the beaten path, and learning as much as possible about other cultures and traditions, while crafting the perfect itinerary for myself and others. With travel at a standstill, I used the luxury of time to reflect on which travel styles I wanted to focus my attention on moving forward. I also devoted many hours and many days to creating a new brand, including a brand-new website with a completely new look and feel, as well as new logos and slogan: “Dream Travels Artfully Designed and Realized”.
New Development + Focus
Since March 2020, I have spent countless hours attending virtual courses and conferences to expand my knowledge on hotel partners, as well as destinations around the world. I also decided to hone much of my future energy on the travel styles and interests I feel most passionately about: experiential, culinary, celebration, adventure, luxury voyage, and LGBTQ+ travel, as well as long-term travel planning.

New Partnerships
In October, I joined Travel Edge, which is the largest luxury-focused travel agency in North America. As a top-producing leisure travel agency, being a Travel Edge advisor allows my clients to receive an even more elevated level of attention and treatment by my hotel, tour and cruise partners worldwide.
New Adventures
I am excited to share my travel adventures with the world this year, and in the years to come. My plan is to write blog posts that inspire you to get back out into the world and explore all it has to offer. I will focus on off-the-beaten path destinations, unique experiences, human connection in a physically distanced world, as well as good food and wine. I hope you will join me on the journey.
