5/12: Happy Monday!
After two weeks off, I'm excited to get back in the groove.
Hi, everyone!
I hope you are all having a lovely start to the week—and happy belated Mother’s Day to all the wonderful moms out there. 🩷 After two unforgettable weeks in Botswana, I’m back in the U.S.! My press trip with Desert & Delta was truly a dream, and I’m so thankful for the experience. It’s bittersweet to wrap it all up, but I’m excited to dive back into work and enjoy what the rest of the month has in store.
Here’s what’s going on:
Media Opps
*My assignments will be trickling in this week, so I will have more updates next Monday.*
I’m pitching to Resy this week and would love to learn more about new, cool restaurants in New York City. Feel free to pitch me with clients.
I’m working on a beauty article about the best travel-size beauty products for summer holidays. I already have my personal favorites, but am open to learning about yours.
I’m breaking into yachting journalism, and would love to hear about any yachting clients you might have. Ping me!
I’m pitching to Robb Report this week, so if you have any luxury travel clients and/or news, feel free to put it on my radar.
Since I’m back in New York for a few weeks, I’d love to learn about new luxury boutique hotels in the city and/or the Hamptons.
As always, I’m working on spotlighting restaurants that have opened in the past three months or will open in the next three—ping me with relevant clients!
I’m also covering luxury hotels that have opened in the past three months or will open in the next three. If you have any fitting clients, let me know.
Press trips & media visits: I’m actively writing luxury travel stories and creating social content for a slew of travel publications, which means I’m open to press trips and/or media stays at luxury hotels.

A few things to note:
When reaching out about a pitch in this newsletter, please don’t reply directly to this email—there’s a good chance it’ll get lost in my inbox. Instead, please send a separate email with ‘Substack’ in the headline to make sure I see it.
When pitching hotels, please make sure to always include a link to the hotel’s press images. This will really help streamline the process if I’m able to write about the property.
Also, a quick heads-up: I’ll be moving this newsletter to paid subscribers in the next few weeks. On the paid side, I’ll be sharing more behind-the-scenes updates—like who I’m writing for, what I’m reviewing, and what’s coming up. Stay tuned for more details soon!
In the Loop
I’m back home in New York City for the rest of the month and am available to catch up, grab coffee, and talk all things travel/beauty/journalism! Feel free to reach out if you want to connect.
Have a great week, and thank you for the support!
Me at Chobe Game Lodge in Botswana!
