Hi, I'm Desirée.

Traveler • Reader • Curator • Writer

I love to create and connect while curating travel, books, vintage, and cocktail experiences around the world.

Currently based in DC, I am a communications strategist and former diplomat advising clients to help reach their goals. I've carried classified materials through foreign capitals and stayed in places that didn't make the travel guides. My experiences have reinforced that the way you say something matters just as much as what you're saying — and that's what I help people do. When I'm not in strategy mode, I'm deep in a book, chasing a vintage find, or planning a trip to country number 40 something.
