Travel to me has always been more than just a vacation. It has been about broadening my worldview, experiencing new cultures, creating profound connections, and providing transformational opportunities for self-discovery. Throughout my career as a marketing professional at L'Oreal, I loved being a part of a global brand, but craved more time to travel and explore the world. Getting my MBA at Chicago Booth only heightened my love for travel, while my time as a management consultant at Bain & Company in London complemented my desire to live and work abroad, traveling every chance I could. 95 countries and 6 continents later, I consistently was being told by friends and colleagues "I wish I could travel like you do." Lack of time to plan a trip and lack of confidence to execute travel plans are all legitimate concerns that all too often hold people back from exploring the world. Traveling can be hard. That is fact. But it doesn't need to be. That is why I founded my company, Wanderful Journeys - to provide aspiring travelers with the tools to confidently explore the world through trips uniquely designed for each individual's needs and desires. I consider myself a 'travel matchmaker' connecting clients with the best destinations, accommodations and experiences that are right for them. I specialize in designing personalized itineraries filled with immersive, authentic experiences - with a splash of style! I work with clients to discover their personal definition of luxury and bring that vision to life through my personal network of global contacts - resulting in meaningful, unforgettable vacations, without the stress of travel planning. For those who enjoy the travel planning process and wish to be more hands on, I still serve as a valuable resource as I am able to add complimentary perks for luxury hotel bookings (think room upgrades, free breakfast, resort credits, etc.), have access to special partners who offer 'ungoogle-able' experiences, plus can help validate your own research and offer insightful recommendations to ensure the trip matches your interests, budget and dreams. Most importantly in these uncertain times, I will always be a live voice to talk to before, after and during travel, and a dedicated advocate for when plans may need to change. I would love to connect and help you explore more of our beautiful world.
