Hi everyone!

After an amazing week in Montana with my family, I’m back in New York. I’ve decided to slow down my traveling this month to focus on work, and I’m really looking forward to pitching, writing, and connecting with people in the industry again. The last few months have been very busy (in the best way), so having a few weeks to reset is much needed.

That said, I’m all business, so feel free to reach out with anything and everything! I’m open to all kinds of pitches, news, trends, data, etc.

Here’s what I’m looking for:

  • Know a hotel with a real medical wellness program (hyperbaric, red light, sleep clinic, IV therapy) that’s more than a spa menu item? I’m looking for real science, not just marketing.

  • Know of any five-star properties opening in an Arctic/Nordic destination (Norway, Greenland, Iceland) this year?

  • Work with any luxury hotels in Shibuya or Shinjuku (in Tokyo)? Feel free to reach out!

  • 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 just 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.

I’m back to business! I already have quite a few coffee meetings set up, but if you want to hop on a call, let me know, and I can check my schedule!

As a heads up, these days, I’m mainly pitching CNT, T+L, Robb Report, and Michelin. I’m also working with Hotels Above Par, Girls Who Eat’s non-toxic travel channel, Marriott, The Everygirl, The Quality Edit, and more.

As always, have a great week, and thank you for your support. xx
