My Story
I have always had a passion for travel. Endlessly researching the newest hotels and filing away notes on the hottest destinations. Just ask my husband. I have at least 10 vacations fully planned on standby! This is my dream job to be helping adventurous couples discover something new. Whether it’s an exotic destination that puts you just a little out of your comfort zone, or an enviable luxury escape, or maybe you’re seeking authentic cultural experiences. I'm here for all of it. Let's chat about how I can take the stress out of planning and elevate your next adventure!
Travel Style
Balancing bespoke adventures with serious relaxation. You can find me in search of the best restaurants in Spain, road tripping in France or adventuring somewhere off-the-beaten-path in Colorado. In fact, I’ve traveled to all but three United States plus 17 countries — and counting!

Theresa was absolutely wonderful to work with from start to finish. The entire process of booking our anniversary trip was so quick and easy thanks to her. I simply told her where we wanted to go, and she provided us with a wealth of thoughtful recommendations and details about the hotels, which really helped us narrow down the perfect place to stay. She found us an amazing package that fit exactly what we were looking for, and her attention to detail truly made all the difference.
When we arrived, we were surprised with a bottle of champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries waiting for us in our room — such a thoughtful touch that made our trip feel even more special right from the start. It’s little things like that that show how much Theresa truly cares about her clients' experiences.
She made the entire planning process stress-free, fun, and exciting, and I couldn’t have asked for a better advisor to help us with such an important trip. I will absolutely be using Theresa again for all of our future travel plans and cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for a seamless and personalized booking experience!

Theresa was amazing! So responsive to all of our emails and always happy to hop on a call if we had any questions. She recommended the most beautiful hotels and clearly had first hand knowledge of the region. She really listened to us when we explained our style of travel and booked things that she knew would fit our needs which was so nice and a far cry from other travel advisors we have used in the past. Would highly recommend Theresa for any trip planning needs!

A Guide to Alpine Adventures & Mountain Luxury in Vail
Vail is renowned for its ultra-luxury hotels and top-notch skiing, but it offers so much more. This charming mountain town in Colorado shines throughout the year with its diverse attractions. In the fall, it’s a hidden gem for leaf peeping, as the aspen trees transform into brilliant shades of gold, orange and red, with smaller crowds to enjoy the scenery. Winter turns Vail into the ultimate ski destination, while late spring and summer offer stunning hiking opportunities, with epic ski runs evolving into breathtaking trails. It's hard to pick a favorite season in Vail, but it remains at the top of my list year-round!
