These are my core travel essentials — the things I rely on and pack to get from here to there. As a travel advisor, I’ve learned what’s worth bringing and what’s not. This list is my tried-and-true, updated as I go.

This list combines two of my favorite things: traveling and reading. I’m a travel advisor, which probably explains why I’m drawn to books where place and destination are part of the story. These are some of my very favorites. I hope they take you somewhere.

A curated list of my favorite San Francisco spots—perfect for visitors and locals alike. Great coffee, standout food, beautiful walks, and a few special experiences that capture the spirit of the city.
