The Story
About Me
The short version: I love planning trips as much as taking them.
From Traveler to Travel Curator
I've visited 29 countries and designed trips at nearly every level, from $8 hostels in Southeast Asia to a private villa in Thailand for 17 guests.
What began as being “the friend who plans everything” gradually evolved into something more. People returned. Friends of friends reached out. Planning stopped being a favor and became a craft.
Travel has always been the center.
Based in New York City and shaped by a career in tech, I approach travel the same way I approach complex systems: thoughtfully, strategically, and with precision. Every decision has a purpose. Every detail connects.
So I made it official.
Tired of Planning is built on the philosophy I follow for my own travels: research deeply, design with intention, and leave space for discovery.
Structure where you need it.
Freedom where you want it.
My goal is simple: remove the overwhelm and give you the confidence to go farther than you thought you could.
You choose the destination. I design the experience.
The Difference
What Sets Me Apart
Lived Experience, Not Research
I've personally visited the places I recommend. I know the difference between a hotel that photographs well and one that truly delivers.
Culinary-First Planning
Food is the soul of travel. Every itinerary features curated dining, from acclaimed restaurants to neighborhood gems only locals know.
Built-In Breathing Room
My itineraries aren't checklists. I design unstructured time because the finest moments happen when you're not rushing.
Group Travel Specialist
Planning for two is different from planning for seventeen. I know how to balance group harmony with personal freedom.
Genuinely Invested
This isn't a volume business. Every journey receives the same dedication I'd pour into my own travels.
Transparent on Budget
I'll share the real cost of things, not inflated tourist pricing. Authentic value at every level.
Guiding Principles
My Travel Philosophy
Eat Local
The best food is rarely in the tourist district.
Stay Flexible
Plans are a compass, not a contract.
Travel With Intent
Know what you seek from a journey, then design around it.
