Ready-to-book trips, built by me
Every itinerary below is curated by me and ready to book exactly as shown — or treat it as a starting point. I'll customize any of these around what you want to get out of the trip and whatever specific needs you're traveling with, from pacing and allergies to bringing the dog along.

View Full Itinerary →Gluten-free & celiac-safe travel
Every dining recommendation in these itineraries has been vetted for cross-contamination risk — not just "they have a GF menu." Dedicated kitchens, chef-confirmed prep practices, and real field research.
Dog-friendly, confirmed
Dog-friendly means more than a policy on Google Maps. Seasonal beach rules, patio access, water service, pet menus — confirmed before it's recommended. Travel with your whole family.
