The road that led me here (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I don’t remember discovering travel. It was simply always there.I grew up in a family that traveled often, and looking at it now, I am deeply aware of how fortunate I was to grow up this way. I had the privilege of being exposed to different places, cultures, landscapes, and hospitality experiences from a young age. I don’t take that for granted. What I couldn’t have known then was how much those experiences would shape what I value today.Some of my earliest travel memories are long drives, fami
Luxury, taste, and knowing what’s worth it (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the relationship between taste and money. And specifically, how often, on the shiny surface of the internet, they are made to feel synonymous. They’re not.I was reading another Substack this week from an interior designer whose lifestyle philosophy I feel quite connected to, and she made the point that just because something is expensive doesn’t mean it’s in good taste or that it has a point of view.

Read excerpt
This year, I’ve already visited more than 30 hotels across the United States, Mexico, Europe, and Costa Rica. My job isn’t to find what’s trending or what photographs well. It’s to understand what it’s actually like to stay there, whether it’s a place I’d confidently recommend to my clients, and who it’s the right fit for. Just as important is understanding the destination itself, because a great trip is about so much more than choosing the right hotel.In practice, this means connecting with the

Read excerpt
Hello, hello from what is somehow already starting to feel like the wind-down of summer here in Texas, as I fill our August calendar with an endless stream of back-to-school events and activities (even though the temperatures are screaming otherwise). We just returned from a week in the Dolomites, and it was just all of the best things. I am, without question, a mountains-in-the-summer kind of person in the same way my mom is a beach-in-the-summer kind of person. As someone who spends far too mu
