About Me

Cape Town, South Africa
Cape Town, South Africa

Cape Town is one of those places that really has it all—mountains, ocean, a mix of cultures, a complex history, and food you’ll keep thinking about long after you leave. I spent a month there recently, and it didn’t take long to fall in love.

Some mornings started with a hike up Lion’s Head to catch the sunrise. Other days, it was a walk along the Sea Point Promenade or a swim in a tidal pool, followed by coffee with a view. From the colorful streets of Bo-Kaap to the soft light over Camps Bay at golden hour, Cape Town invites you to slow down and take it all in.

There’s always something to do. You might spend a few hours with the penguins at Boulders Beach, go wine tasting in Constantia, or ride the tram through vineyards in Franschhoek. The markets are full of life—Oranjezicht on a Saturday morning, the Vegan Goods Market in Tokai on the first Sunday of the month, or browsing local art and design at The Watershed any day of the week.

History echoes through Cape Town, in places like Robben Island and the District Six Museum. But just as striking is its vibrant present—alive with color, culture, and creativity around every corner.

Nature is part of everyday life here. You’re never far from a view: a drive along Chapman’s Peak, a hike out to Cape Point, or even just looking up at Table Mountain from wherever you are. And if you’re into outdoor activities, the options are endless—paragliding, surfing, snorkeling, cycling, or just sitting on a beach and watching the waves.

And the food—Cape Malay curries, fresh seafood, vegan comfort food, malva pudding—it’s diverse, flavorful, and often shared in the most beautiful settings.

Cape Town sticks with you. It’s the kind of place that makes everyday moments feel special—from early morning swims to sunset hikes and spontaneous chats with locals.

If you’re thinking about visiting, I’d love to help you plan a trip that brings together the best of the city and the coast—hiking trails, wine tastings, wildlife, markets, and all the little things in between. Whether it’s your first time or you’re coming back for more, Cape Town always has something new to offer.

A Memorable Quebec Getaway
Reviewed By Carla B. - Chicago, Illinois | Traveled to Quebec | Canada
My partner and I were planning a trip from Montreal to Quebec City, and we weren’t sure what else we should explore nearby. Hannah took the time to understand our interests and recommended a perfect mix of activities. We visited Old Quebec, which felt like stepping back in time, and Montmorency Falls, which was breathtaking. Hannah also suggested we take a day trip to Baie-Saint-Paul for its art galleries and charming vibe, which was a highlight. We also made a stop at Ile d’Orléans for some amazing local food. Her recommendations were spot-on, and we felt like we truly got to experience the best of the region. Having someone so knowledgeable made our trip so much easier and more enjoyable. Would definitely recommend!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

A Dream Solo Trip to the French Riviera
Reviewed By Carol N. - Hartford, Connecticut | Traveled to France | Europe
My solo trip to the Côté d’Azur was everything I could have dreamed of and more. Hannah really took into consideration my interest in art and food, which is clearly one of her specialties, and found amazing excursions and activities for me to take part in. It was my first time traveling to France, so working with someone who is fluent in French and familiar with French culture was amazing. I also was grateful that I could contact Hannah during my trip and get answers fast.

Discovering Art and History in Paris and Beyond
Reviewed By Erik D. - Ottawa, Ontario, Canada | Traveled to France | Europe
My family loves art and history, so when we started thinking about a trip to France, Paris, Versailles, and Giverny were all high on our list. Hannah helped us figure out the best time to go to avoid the worst of the crowds, which made such a difference, especially at places like the Louvre and the Palace of Versailles. She also gave us great advice on which museums to visit early in the day or later in the afternoon, so we could actually enjoy the art without feeling overwhelmed. The day trip to Giverny was a highlight. Everything felt really well-paced, and we never felt rushed. It was such a thoughtful and enriching trip from start to finish.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Winter Magic in Quebec City
Reviewed By John T. - Boston, Massachusetts | Traveled to Quebec City | Quebec | Canada
My wife and I had always wanted to visit Quebec City but could never decide on the right time to go. Hannah took the time to understand what kind of experience we were hoping for and recommended visiting in the winter. We're so glad we followed her advice. The trip felt like something out of a fairytale, with Christmas markets, sparkling lights, dog sledding, and even incredible ice sculptures around the city. It was cozy, festive, and truly unforgettable. We couldn’t have pulled this off without Hannah’s help.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

A Sweet and Scenic Quebec Experience
Reviewed By Ron C. - Houston, Texas | Traveled to Quebec | Canada
My family had always wanted to visit Quebec but could never decide on the best time of year to go. When we mentioned that we wanted to experience something unique, Hannah, who’s very knowledgeable about Quebecois culture, told us about sugar shacks, which we’d never heard of. We ended up having such a special time learning about this Canadian tradition, feasting on maple syrup treats, and exploring beautiful landscapes and hiking trails. Merci, Hannah!
