About Me

Arts, Culture, Food, Nature & Relax Travel Agent

I have travelled to 20+ countries after my first study abroad experience in the Gold Coast of Queensland Australia. I have hands on experience backpacking and solo travelling in a number of destinations including Europe, Southeast Asia and Morocco. These experiences were deeply enriching to me and I would love to share the wisdom I acquired while on my travels. Whether it be recommending a neighborhood off the beaten path or finding you the perfect custom nature trek-- I have all the resources and tools to make your upcoming trip unforgettable! In booking your perfect getaway, I specialize in: arts & culture, foodie/gastronomy, spirituality & introspection, health & relaxation (spa) and nature. My goal is to connect you to experiences where your desires and passions unite while embracing the beauty of the unknown. I can't wait to book your next adventure!

Chi-Town
Reviewed By Griffin T - Dallas, Texas | Traveled to Chicago | Illinois | USA
Thanks Emily for a well planned weekend in Chicago. We are all married with kids and wanted to plan a trip away. She recommended the best restaurants (Chicago's food scene is unreal) —we all left a few pounds heavier. Luckily we didn't have any flying delays. 5 stars!

Trip down to SB
Reviewed By Xavier - Bay Area | Traveled to Santa Barbara | California | USA
We live in the bay area so aren't very far away from Santa Barbara. We wanted to get away from the kids for a romantic anniversary weekend. Emily is quite the romantic herself!! She planned couples massages, an intimate dinner and a wine tour! The best part? On the wine tour I was connected with an old friend from the reserves. Small world! The only thing I would have changed was the checkout said Noon and they wanted us out by 11, but it ended up being ok.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    Learning to Sail in the Ionian Sea — With Bob, Beer, and Beautiful Chaos I never thought I’d learn to sail — not properly, at least. But then came the Ionian Sea, the salty mentorship of my friend Bob, and the wild, wonderful sailing community of Lefkas. Somewhere between wrestling lines, drinking beers at dockside tavernas, and watching ...
