About Me
Relic Travel was built on a simple belief: every destination has a version most travelers never find.
One of my most memorable and life-changing trips was when I visited a child I sponsor in Colombia. It was also my first solo trip.
The media paints a picture of MedellÃn and Cartagena as one defined by cartel narratives and cautionary tales, but I went anyway. What I found was something entirely different: warm, generous people, a culture of hope, and a history so rich it demanded to be understood, not just visited. That trip changed the way I think about travel. Not as a checklist of landmarks, but as an act of bearing witness — to history and the real story of a place. The photo is the main reason I visited Cartagena: I was able to meet the child I've been sponsoring through Children International since 2020.
Why Relic Travel?
Relic Travel is a travel agency located in Los Angeles, California built for travelers who are done with generic itineraries. I work with a select number of clients at a time — women traveling solo or in groups, couples seeking something deeper — to design trips that honor the places they visit and the people who live there.
​
When you work with me, you’re not getting a booking engine. You’re getting a dedicated advisor who has done the research, knows the questions to ask, and genuinely cares about the experience you come home with.
The Approach
I approach every itinerary the way a historian approaches a subject: with curiosity, rigor, and deep respect for context. Before a single hotel is booked, I want to understand what a destination means — its colonial history, its cultural tensions, its hidden neighborhoods, its most authentic dining experiences. That research becomes the foundation of every trip I design.
Â
The result is travel that feels less like tourism and more like immersion.
The Experience
I have planned and led trips across Latin America and the Mediterranean — from a landmark girls trip through Rome, Florence, and Santorini, to cultural enrichment journeys through Colombia, to an itinerary spanning Lisbon, Barcelona, and Mallorca.

Every trip I’ve taken has deepened my understanding of what meaningful travel looks like — and what it takes to execute it flawlessly.
