As a Top Travel Planner on the Upwork Platform, I’m excited to assist you with all your travel planning needs! Thanks to my last six years (and counting) on the road as a full-time traveler (aka world-traveling digital nomad), I have an increasing library of knowledge and information all things travel related. With my on-ground experience traveling to 40+ countries combined with 4 years of travel planning experience ($1m+), backed by a highly regarded travel agent network (certified PRO at Fora Travel), I am highly organized, detailed, and passionate about putting together full itineraries and solving other travel-related tasks. Additionally, I received my CTA (Certified Travel Associate) certification from The Travel Institute in July 2025, so I am not just a "certified travel agent" as many claim, but I'm truly Certified through a highly respected travel educator. I love to mix genuine cultural experiences with fun and exciting adventure, while always attempting to avoid over-tourism and promote sustainability.
