About Me

I fell in love with travel at just nine years old on my first trip abroad to visit family in Greece. From that moment on, I was hooked. Throughout my childhood, I was always persuading my parents to plan our next adventure, and as soon as I was old enough to travel on my own, I set out to see as much of the world as I could.

Europe holds a special place in my heart, and I try to return every year. It’s where I feel most at home, wandering cobblestone streets, discovering hidden cafés in small towns, exploring vibrant cities, relaxing on beautiful beaches, hiking through national parks, and stepping back in time at historic sites.

I became a travel consultant to share that lifelong passion and firsthand experience with my clients. I love crafting trips that go beyond the typical itinerary, helping people create meaningful, memorable journeys tailored just for them.

One of my top travel tips is to leave space in your itinerary for spontaneity. Some of the best moments happen when you wander down an unplanned street, linger a little longer at a café, or say yes to a local recommendation.

When I’m not planning my clients’ next getaway or exploring somewhere new myself, you’ll most likely find me on a sunny beach with a good book in hand, dreaming about the next destination.
