As a second-generation Greek, I grew up surrounded by Greek culture, language, and summers in Crete with family. I’ve explored 23 countries (and counting!), visiting Greece and Puerto Rico over 15 times each. Speaking four languages helps me connect with locals and uncover hidden gems wherever I go.
With experience in large-scale travel and hospitality — including launching one of NYC’s premier hotels, The Beekman — I bring both industry expertise and a traveler’s passion to every trip I design. My goal? To create unforgettable experiences that immerse you in the culture, beauty, and adventure of each destination.
Food is one of my favorite reasons to travel, and my Google Maps is proof—I save every great spot to share with friends, who know my lists are always thorough. Their trust in my recommendations, and their constant requests for my maps, inspired me to start a travel agency.
My love for travel is shared by my partner, Omar, who I was set up with on a blind date for this very reason. Now, we live with our two cats, Tzatziki and Clarice, always planning our next adventure.
Growing up in a multigenerational Middle Eastern/American household in Southern California, I was quickly introduced to tastes, customs and culture from around the globe. By the age of 6, I had already learned Arabic as my second language and was spending my summers in Europe and Western Asia. It wasn't until years later that I gratefully realized just how much of the world I had experienced as a young child.
As life progressed, I began to globetrot for years on end, living abroad in 3 different countries (Colombia, Türkiye & Italy) and visiting a total of 65 (as of now) — I then picked up my third language, Spanish...and also ended up starring in a blockbuster Bollywood movie.
I founded my own marketing and media agency in 2013, and became a Certified Professional Photographer (CPP) while working for the Los Angeles Clippers, Portland Timbers, and ESPN as a whole.
However, my favorite memories are always those spontaneous moments with loved ones that end up evolving into something spectacular. Not always, but a lot of those moments happen while traveling.
I currently live in Portland, OR with my fiancé, Maddie, as we continue to nurture and renovate our 118 year old baby (our home, c.1906) and continue to plan our future (trips) together.
