The Story
About Me
The short version: I love planning trips as much as taking them.
From Traveler to Travel Curator
I'm 30, I've been to 29 countries, and I've planned trips for every budget imaginable — from $8 hostels in Southeast Asia to a private villa in Thailand for 17 of my closest friends.
What started as being “the friend who plans everything” evolved into something much larger. People kept returning, asking me to design their next journey. Friends of friends began reaching out. My inbox became a full-time occupation.
So I made it official. Tired of Planning is built on the same philosophy I follow for my own travels: research deeply, plan with intention, and always leave room to breathe.
I don't believe in itineraries that account for every minute. The most memorable travel moments emerge from space — a free afternoon wandering a new neighborhood, an unhurried meal at a sidewalk café, the freedom to follow a local's recommendation on the spot.
That's what I build into every trip: structure where you need it, freedom where you want it.
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. Your trip matters to me.
Transparent on Budget
I'll share the real cost of things — not inflated tourist pricing. I find 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.
