Marika Carpenter

Marika grew up in the hotel industry, and so her passion for travel and luxury hotels started early on. She quickly realized that she couldn’t be Eloise (unfortunate, she knows) and live in a five-star hotel, so she found the next best thing - working with them!

While attending Ole Miss, she got her degree in hospitality management and spent time studying abroad in Italy. During her time living in Florence, she took a 6-week wine class, visited Rome, Paris and the Amalfi Coast and thrived on finding all the “hot spots” in each city. Upon graduation, she moved to Charleston, SC to pursue a career as a concierge in America’s #1 city to visit! She worked in 3 luxury hotels and spent every last penny experiencing every restaurant and activity in town to be sure she could give fully vetted opinions.

She has always loved helping friends and family plan their perfect vacations and recently turned her passion into her full-time career!
