NORTH CAROLINA TRAVEL ADVISOR

Hi, I’m Jaimie

A lifelong planner and dreamer who believes the best trips don’t just take you somewhere new — they connect you with a place, with the people around you, and even yourself.

If We Work Together, You’ll Notice…

This is just kind of how my brain works.

I love the research.

Give me a destination, a handful of hotel options, and a route to untangle, and I'm completely in my element. Half the fun is comparing possibilities until everything clicks into place.

I get invested, too.

Don't be surprised if I send you a restaurant I found after dinner or a better hotel I stumbled across while "finished" researching. Once I'm done planning your trip, my brain keeps working on it.

I notice the details.

I've learned that little decisions often have the biggest impact. Staying in a different neighborhood, choosing the easier train connection, or splurging on the right room can completely change a trip.

I leave room to wander.

I love a thoughtful itinerary, but I don't believe every minute should be scheduled. The best vacations leave room for unexpected discoveries that end up becoming your favorite memories.

How Branch & Bloom Began

My friends have learned not to casually mention a vacation they’re thinking about taking.

Because before long, I’ll have a Google Doc started with hotel recommendations, neighborhood suggestions, restaurant ideas, activities, and probably a few extra ideas you didn’t ask for.

That’s when it clicked: maybe this wasn’t just a hobby after all.

Enter Branch & Bloom. I realized the part I loved most wasn’t just planning my trips — it was getting excited about everyone else’s. Give me a destination, a reason for the trip, and all the logistics in between, and I’m genuinely in my happy place.

Let me take the planning off your plate so you can spend your time getting excited about the adventure ahead.
