A little bit about Alice…
Hey Y’all! I’m Alice and I am so excited you are here! A few things to know about me that you won’t see on my website’s “About” page:
I love beautiful hotels. I deeply believe that when people say a hotel is just a place to lay your head, they haven’t stayed at the right hotel…yet. I love finding the perfect hotels for clients that fit their interests, preferences, and style, but my personal tastes skew colorful, maximalist, unique and art-centric. I’m obsessed with the work of hotel designers Bill Bensley, Kit Kemp, Roman and Williams, and Martin Brudnizki.
I am a proud dog mom of rescues: Gus, Kimball and Moira Rose. Yes, she is named after the character on Schitt’s Creek. I love, love, love critters and spotting local fauna will always be the highlight of any trip for me.
I can’t see myself living anywhere other than the East Coast. I love humidity. It makes my skin look good and my hair big. I lived in Colorado for over 5 years and will never move back because I missed water so much.
I am a college head coach’s wife. You won’t see me travel (too) much from August to November because I hate to miss a game.
I studied literature and art history, but dreamed as a child of becoming a fashion designer. I am still passionate about all those areas and am constantly reading up on what is new and next.
I have a fear of flying. And NEVER sleep for longer than a few minutes on a flight. But I love seeing new places so much that I just have to suck it up and power through.
Before joining the travel industry, I worked in libraries, most recently as the executive director of a public library. My three biggest takeaways after working in libraries for over 10 years are:
People are just so interesting and unique! Everyone you encounter deserves to be treated with kindness and respect.
Research is a happy place for me. Little is more relaxing to me than a deep dive into a new subject.
There are too many amazing books out there to spend your time on one you aren’t enjoying. I think this carries over to a lot of experiences. Life is just too short to waste time on bad, or even mediocre, things!
I am bad at finding gifts for specific events (birthdays, holidays), but great at finding the perfect gifts at completely random times.
I’m not what one would call a natural athlete, however I love nature-oriented sports (skiing, hiking, snorkeling) and am currently learning to play golf. My poor golf coach is very patient.
Truly, there is nothing that feels better than hearing someone say that they loved a trip I helped plan. Being able to not only take the stress of the planning process off their plate, but help create a magical and memorable experience for them brings me so, so much joy.
