Custom travel planning for people who care as much about where they stay as where they go.
Let's Start PlanningMy Approach
"A great trip isn't just where you go. It's how it feels once you're there."
I bring an interiors and hospitality background to every itinerary: atmosphere, flow,
and the small details that turn a good trip into a lasting memory.
Meet Alison
Travel has been my favorite obsession for as long as I can remember, the trip planning, the research rabbit holes, the running list of places I can't wait to get back to. That love, paired with a background in interiors and hospitality, is what shaped the way I plan trips today. I notice things: the light in a hotel lobby, the energy of a neighborhood at dusk, the craftsmanship and traditions that make a place feel like itself, the family recipe a restaurant has been making the same way for fifty years.
I'm not interested in checking boxes. The best trips leave room for both the iconic moments and the ones you didn't plan for, the tiny restaurant with no sign out front, the local spot you'd never have found on your own, the quiet afternoon that ends up being your favorite memory.
I design thoughtfully arranged, personalized itineraries that connect you more deeply to where you are, and I handle everything happening behind the scenes so all you have to do is show up and enjoy it.

Getting There
No stiff questionnaires, no cookie-cutter packages. Just a real conversation that turns into a trip you'll be talking about for years.
First things first, a free call where I get a feel for how you like to travel: your must-haves, your dealbreakers, your budget, and what a great trip looks like to you.
This is where the real work happens. I tap into my network of hotel and destination contacts to piece together the properties, experiences, and logistics that fit the trip we talked about.
A one-time planning fee applies here, typically $150–$250+ based on how involved the trip is.
I'll walk you through everything I've put together, hotel options, day-by-day flow, reservations, so you know exactly what you're getting and why. We'll go back and forth on anything that doesn't feel right until it's less like a proposal and more like your trip.
Once you give the go-ahead, bookings are on me: a deposit locks everything in, with final payments due closer to departure. Then it's just you, packing, and me quietly making sure everything's set before you land.
Why Work With Me
Anyone can search a site and book a room. What I offer is everything that happens around it: the judgment, the connections, and the care that make a trip feel effortless.
Booking It Yourself
Hours lost across reviews, blogs, and booking sites, second-guessing every choice.
Hotels chosen from photos alone, with no way to know if the room, the neighborhood, or the service will actually fit you.
If something goes wrong mid-trip, you're the one on hold with customer service.
Working With Me
One conversation, then I handle the research, the options, and the details.
Recommendations shaped by design sensibility, plus access to upgrades and perks you won't find booking direct.
Support before and during your trip, so if plans shift, you have someone in your corner.
