Profile details
About
A lover of warm beach towns, hotel pools and a salted rim. Mom of two girls often last in the carpool line. School psychologist turned travel junkie.
Travel style
I like slower travel with a healthy mix of activities, exploration and local eats. I believe the foundation of any good trip is a relaxing property with a gorgeous pool or stunning views and crisp sheets.

Thank you so much for your help making this getaway possible! It was so needed for my husband and me and we've come home so refreshed. The resort was absolutely amazing. We felt completely spoiled all weekend. Thank you so much for the strawberries and champagne! It was so thoughtful and was such a wonderful surprise for our first night!
