5/27: Happy Tuesday (That Feels Like a Monday)!
Closing out May. 🤍
Hi, everyone,
I hope you all had a nice long weekend! As we wrap up the month, things are a bit quieter on my end while I finish up a few assignments, but I’m expecting things to pick back up next week.
Here’s what’s going on:
Media Opps
I'm currently working on a guide to Orange County's beach towns, and as someone who grew up in the area, this one is especially close to my heart. That said, I'd love to hear about any of your favorite local spots—hidden gems, must-visit restaurants, shops, or anything else that makes these beach towns special to you.
I’ll be in Bar Harbor for a weekend this July and am currently working on a guide to the area. If you have any favorite restaurants, must-see sights, or can’t-miss things to do, feel free to send them my way—I’d love to check them out!
I’m working on a piece about the best luxury boutique hotel in Maine. Let me know if you have clients that fit the bill.
As always, I’m pitching to Resy and would love to learn more about new, cool restaurants in New York City.
I’m pitching to Robb Report, so if you have any luxury travel clients and/or news, feel free to put it on my radar.
I’m 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.
Personal, Professional News
After a whirlwind start to the year, I’m excited to finally open up my calendar for new assignments. If you know of any editors or publications looking for travel or beauty writers, I’d be so grateful for any connections or referrals. Thanks in advance—I really appreciate the support!

A few things to note:
When reaching out about a pitch in this newsletter, please do not reply directly to this email—there’s a good chance it’ll get lost in my inbox. Instead, please send a separate email.
When pitching hotels, please make sure to always include a link to the hotel’s press images. This greatly helps 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 heading to Turkey this Friday through next Thursday for a press trip with Diamond PR! I’ll still be working remotely while I’m there, so feel free to reach out if you need anything. I’ll be back in New York afterward for a little over a week and can catch up over coffee.
Have a great week, and thank you for the support!
