My Story
I've always got wanderlust so my pet sitter is on speed dial. I live in magical Ojai, CA – so, home is pretty great, but my soul lives in France.
Travel Style
I started my career with The Ritz-Carlton, so I'm a bit of a hotel snob (but in the best way). I love the beach and the mountains, Michelin-star worthy food and watching the world go by from sidewalk cafes.

Kim worked directly with the VocMos staff when our train schedules were affected by a national strike. Everyone was on the same page the entire time and she made the schedule change easy!

This was the first time my wife and I embarked on a vacation quite like this. We would not have been able to do it without Kim! She planned effectively to our priorities, provided key insights we wouldn’t have otherwise been aware of, and set us up for what is now an unforgettable vacation. We feel so lucky to have had Kim on our team from the first outreach all the way to our arrival back home.

Thank you again for all of your help in planning/executing the trip—it was so wonderful! And we really liked the way you planned it with Il Pellicano being first/giving us time to adjust to time change and then alternating slower/busier paces—that definitely felt like the right way to do it. And it was so nice being able to see such different parts of Italy and get a feel for different places. We were very overwhelmed with all of the options as we began trying to plan the trip ourselves and Kim swooped in, took over, and planned the most amazing trip. We would have been lost without her and so appreciate her help!!

A Guide to California's Lesser-Known Wine Country
Most people have heard of Napa Valley and Sonoma, but a lesser-known alternative (also my favorite of the two) is the Santa Ynez Valley in northern Santa Barbara County. Accessible to all of SoCal, a short two hours from LA and in the beautiful Central Coast, the SYV offers a diverse cluster of charming small towns, amazing food and wine, relaxing vistas and world class accommodations.
