7/20: Happy Monday!
Halfway through July!
Helloooo and happy Monday!
It’s been another busy month of writing, pitching, copyediting, researching, and working on various projects for different outlets. It feels so good to be back in the swing of things, and I’m really looking forward to getting things done this week!
I’m open to pitches and am all ears for anything luxury travel. I’m also interested in trends, data, and unique experiences.
Here’s what I’m looking for:
Media Opps
I’m always looking for super special/unique/standout luxury properties and destinations for CNT. If you know of any new openings, under-the-radar destinations, or anything with a strong sense of place, send me your favorites.
I’m curious about wellness travel data and trends for a piece I’m working on. If you have research, surveys, or numbers on how travelers are approaching wellness right now, I’d love to see it.
I’m looking to talk to hoteliers or GMs doing something different with guest experience (not just amenities, but real innovation in how a property runs). Would make a great feature!
I’m looking for new hotel openings for Travel + Leisure. (Please don’t pitch me if you’ve already pitched the team there. I’m looking to do a First In piece for them.)
DiningOut launched a New York site! Feel free to pitch me New York-based food roundups.
I’m writing a few pieces on upscale, under-the-radar NYC restaurants for FOUND NY. These can be hard to find since so many nice restaurants are buzzy, but if you have a favorite hidden gem (please, nothing viral on TikTok) or know someone I should talk to, I’d love to connect.
I’m focused on new NYC restaurant openings, creative chef collaborations, and emerging dining trends in the city for Eater. If you’ve noticed something interesting happening in the NYC food scene, I want to hear about it.

In the Loop
I’m in New York until mid-August before I head to Hawaii, Tokyo + Kyoto, and LA for a few weeks. I have time this week for a few calls, so ping me if you want to set something up!
Also, if you’re hosting any travel-related events in NYC, let me know. I’d love to pop by!
As always, have a great week, and thank you for your support. xx
I recently visited Japan Village in Brooklyn, and loved it!
