Hawai’i was the site of MANY of my favorite vacations with Mike and the kids. Mike’s parents spent time on Maui every February for over thirty years, and some of our first trips were visiting them. Then, we experienced Kauai and fell head over heels. From the jungles of Hanalei, to the soaring cliffs of the Napili Coast, to the fantastic beaches in Poipu – we could visit Kauai over and over again. Fora has pulled together a fully comprehensive look at all of the Islands – where to stay, what to do, and where to eat & drink. I’d love to help you create your own Hawaiian memories. Let’s chat.

Portugal has always been on my bucket list. When my girlfriends suggested we spend time in Spain, I chose to tack on 5 days on my own. Porto spoke to me because it is so full of history and culture, and seemed more manageable than Lisbon as a solo traveler. I fell in love with the food, the glorious views and some of the nicest, most welcoming people I’ve ever encountered. Porto captured my heart and I cannot wait to return.
