Saturday@Five is curated by an east-coast-transplanted-to-the-west-coast-girl, with a passion for travel, cupcakes, a well-mixed Manhattan, and a seriously good playlist on repeat (not necessarily in that order). I’m equally at home camping in the Sierras or roughing it at a luxury hotel, but I have a special place in my heart for boutique hotels and local restaurants that bring a destination to life. As an empty-nester mom of three, I cherish Saturdays at 5pm and would spend that magical hour just about anywhere with my husband and traveling partner. When not dreaming about charming towns and exquisite accommodations, I can usually be found searching out a sandy beach for my continuing quest to catch the green flash.
I’ve spent endless hours reading books, magazines, and hunting the web for research in preparation for my travels. There’s nothing I like more than immersing myself in planning a trip with the perfect combination of active and relaxing activities, special restaurants, and just the right accommodation to match the location. My friends always ask me for recommendations, and I love to share all those details with others traveling along the same path. So I created this website and hope you find the information contained here to be helpful. I fully believe that travel is one of the most educational and eye-opening experiences in life…so book that hotel, secure that flight, and enjoy your own very special journey!
