Travel with Me: Your Honest Guide to Going Somewhere Worth Going.

I am not the person who shows up somewhere, takes a pretty photo, and calls it a travel guide. I’m the person who researches a destination for weeks before leaving, asks every local where they actually eat, walks down the side streets that aren’t in any itinerary, and comes home with a notes app full of things I want to tell you.

If you’ve ever wished you had a friend to call before booking a trip — someone who’s been there, stayed at the hotels, eaten the food, and lived to report back honestly — that’s what I want to be for you here.

Because let’s be real: the internet is full of travel content that makes everywhere look flawless and leaves you feeling like you did it wrong when the reality doesn’t match the aesthetic. I’m not interested in that. What I am interested in is telling you the restaurant that changed my life in a small coastal town, the hotel that looked perfect online and fell short in person, the experience that’s worth every penny, and the tourist trap to skip entirely so you can spend that time somewhere better.

My travel style is slow, intentional, and always looking for the soul of a place. I want to know where the locals go on a Tuesday night. I want the hidden beach, the backroad with the view, the café that doesn’t need a sign because everyone already knows about it. I want to feel somewhere, not just see it.

Here, you’ll find honest destination guides, practical recommendations, and the kind of real-talk advice I’d give a close friend before she packed her bags. What to book, what to skip, what you actually need to know before you go — and what makes a trip feel like more than just a vacation.

So whether you’re dreaming of a weekend away or planning something bigger, come here first. I’ll make sure you’re ready.
