Profile details
About
A wine and food professional who transitioned from being a New York City-based sommelier in three Michelin-starred dining rooms to becoming a winery consultant. I am a mother of two girls and homesteader on the beautiful Central Coast.
Travel style
Travel should be a time to expand your mind, reset your thinking and relax your body. I believe in high-touch experiences that deepen one's understanding of the culture or area being explored. My personal focus has always been on the history and food of the regions I visit, with a particular emphasis on wine, as I am a certified sommelier. More recently, with two young daughters, I have begun to explore family-friendly travel. Most importantly, I seek balance in trips, combining exciting and educational experiences with relaxed time for processing, bonding and decompression.

Meghan's reviews
She's great at helping us with this travel stuff. We told her what we were looking for and she made all the arrangements and provided options for what we requested and in the price range we wanted, so we could choose accordingly. And we felt her involvement provided us the helpful attention from hotel staff, as it had in previous trips organized by her.
She has always been just a phone call away if anything came up—which has not, really.

This is my first visit in Silicon Valley so I had no idea where to stay. I told Meghan my preference and she gave me some recommendations for me to pick.
