My Story
A NYC-based wanderer who makes a vision board for every trip & whose itineraries are heavily influenced by food.
Travel Style
As a traveler, I am highly organized and detail-oriented. I enjoy creating documents, boards and saving all sorts of information about the places I visit. Even if I am unable to experience everything on my list, I keep it handy for future reference or for anyone who seeks my advice. In fact, this is how I began my career as a travel advisor, being the go-to person for my network. With the abundance of information available to us, I take pleasure in curating the perfect itinerary for any trip. I strongly believe that good food is an essential part of exploring a destination, and I always strive to find the best local eats. Whether it's recommending a cozy café for your morning coffee and pastries or arranging a local cooking class, there is so much culture to be experienced through food.

Ashlee was absolutely amazing! Throughout the planning process, I changed my mind multiple times about destinations, yet she was incredibly patient and accommodating. She provided me with a variety of resort options—complete with detailed price breakdowns—making it easy to compare and choose the perfect getaway. Once I finalized my destination, the booking and payment process was seamless. She also went above and beyond by offering to arrange excursions and activities, ensuring my trip was stress-free. As our departure date approached, she kept me informed of any flight updates, which gave me peace of mind. Ashlee was efficient, knowledgeable, and truly understood what I was looking for in a vacation. I will definitely be booking my next trip with her!

Ashlee was great to work with! She did a great job of distilling all the things we wanted to do and see into an itinerary that was plentiful but also not overwhelming. She also gave us a lot of back up options in case we felt like veering off the plan. She was super prompt and patient as well considering that we were coming right up on our wedding date when we reached out to her.

Couple's Weekend at Getaway House
My husband and I spent some time at Getaway Eastern Catskills over a weekend in April. We spent our time gazing at the moon and stars through the large cabin window and exploring the Catskills area. There is so much beauty to be appreciated among the mountains and wooded areas. I hope to visit other Getaway cabins across the U.S. and highly recommend it to my clients as well!

Group Trip to Arequipa, Peru and Machu Picchu
In July 2024, I traveled to Peru for a close friend’s wedding in Arequipa. I extended my stay to visit Machu Picchu and witness one of the seven wonders of the world. We spent time in Lima, Arequipa, Cusco and Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu Pueblo). Each location has something unique to offer!

Portland, Maine: A Destination for All
Portland holds a special place in my heart! The food scene is off the charts – I can't get enough of it. And don't even get me started on the craft beer; it's like a playground for beer lovers. My husband and I got married there, and let me tell you, it was the coolest place to tie the knot! Since then, our friends have also fallen in love with this small "city" and now we make it an annual trip. It's always a blast!

Escape to Denver: The Best of Outdoors and City Living
Denver was the perfect escape from NYC's hustle, offering the right mix of laid-back city vibes and outdoor adventure. We caught two Rockies games, explored the local food scene and enjoyed relaxing hikes, making Denver a place that gave us both adventure and downtime. The city’s balance of nature and culture makes it the ideal spot to recharge while still working remotely.
