Hi, I’m Arissa.
Founder & Travel Advisor, THE KOAST
I’ve always been the person who loves planning the trip almost as much as taking it. I want to know which hotel is actually worth it, which ship I’d choose, what I’d spend extra on and what I’d skip.
After 10+ cruises and plenty of trips of my own, I’ve learned how much the little decisions can change a vacation. Now I get to do that same research for my clients, helping you sort through the options and plan a trip that actually fits the way you want to travel.
A few things about me: Hawai‘i will always be one of my favorite places to return to, I’m usually planning my next cruise, and I will absolutely spend too much time comparing two hotels before choosing one.
