High Potential

A Little About Me

My love for travel began at an early age. Growing up, I was always fascinated by the idea of exploring new places, experiencing different cultures, and mostly traveled by reading books. After spending years working in film and television and honing my eye for detail in fashion by launching by brand Lord and Lady, I found myself yearning for something more meaningful—an outlet to combine my love for adventure, stories, and creating memorable experiences.

That’s when Styled Getaways, and later Cupcake and Carry-On were born. Whether it’s a gluten-free recipe inspired by a trip to the Mediterranean or tips on navigating new destinations, this blog is my way of sharing my journey and inspiring others to explore the world through both their palate and their passport.

My Expertise

I’ve had the privilege of traveling to countless destinations across the globe, and I specialize in curating travel experiences that are both meaningful and stress-free. With several years of experience as a travel consultant, I’ve helped countless individuals create seamless getaways—whether it’s a luxury cruise through Europe, a retreat for wellness and rejuvenation, or a culturally immersive vacation.

Beyond travel planning, my background in film, television, and fashion allows me to offer a unique perspective on travel style and aesthetics. I love finding ways to make each trip not just memorable but personally meaningful.

What You’ll Find Here

On Cupcake and Carry-On, you’ll find a mix of travel inspiration, practical tips, and recipes that transport you to new destinations. My approach is all about creating easy, accessible ways for you to experience the world, whether that’s by cooking a gluten-free meal inspired by your travels or booking your next unforgettable trip.

But above all, this blog is about celebrating life’s simplest pleasures—whether that’s indulging in a delicious dish or simply taking time to pause and enjoy the journey.
