Travel is my love language

I've always believed that travel does something to you that nothing else can. It stretches your world, softens your assumptions and reminds you just how beautifully different (and surprisingly similar) we all are. From the food on the table to the landscape out the window, every destination has taught me something I couldn't have learned any other way.

My husband and I have been planning our own adventures for years - slow mornings with chai in hand in Jasper, snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef, skydiving over Cairns and road trips with our very adorable Cavapoo, Ollie. It was a three-week trip to Australia, our first time to a country outside Asia, that truly changed me. Snorkeling over the Great Barrier Reef, then free-falling above Cairns, I understood for the first time how vast and stunning this planet really is.

I'm a slow, intentional traveler at heart. I'd rather linger over a long lunch than rush through a checklist. My husband would pack every hour if I let him, so we've gotten very good at finding the balance. That push and pull is actually what makes me a better advisor: I understand that every traveler is different and the best trip is the one that fits you.

Becoming a Fora-certified travel advisor felt like the most natural next step - a way to take something I was already doing with love and do it for others too. Whether you want a few days of pure resort bliss or a jam-packed island adventure (or both, like our St. Martin anniversary trip), I'll help you build something that feels exactly right.
