ABOUT ME: I’m an Oregon girl, obsessed with chasing the sun. After 10+ years owning and operating @Opal28 a boutique wedding and events venue in Portland, OR, I’ve shifted my planning superpowers to the world of travel. Whether it’s curating once-in-a-lifetime adventures or simply taking hotel and transportation bookings off your to-do list, I’m here to make your travel easier. I believe hotel rooms need more hooks, everyone needs more leisure, and there’s no such thing as “too many snacks.” Consider me your travel-obsessed friend who will handle all of the details so you can leisure more.
