Born and bred in Boston, what started as exploration of my own city quickly developed into passion for experiencing other cultures. As the youngest family member, I grew up holidaying on cruises where it was easy to gather together.
On a subsequent trip to Italy with a friend’s family, I realised how much more the world had to offer. While studying at Northeastern University, I took advantage of opportunities to combine academic development with international travel. I worked in Costa Rica rebuilding a Spanish-speaking rural community, interned at a Tel Aviv start-up, and spent a semester in Florence studying while solidifying my love for Europe.
As a UK and Ireland Country Specialist at Audley, I’ve hiked the Scottish Highlands, sipped tea throughout the English countryside, walked the peace wall in Belfast, and Irish step-danced with the help of a Guinness. It’s my privilege to help you plan your dream trip.

Q&A with Lily
What’s the best local dish you’ve tasted?
We spent a day exploring Borrowdale and Buttermere, a more off-the-beaten path area of the Lake District and some of the most beautiful scenery I’ve ever come across. In the middle of a winding mountain road, our driver suddenly pulled over to a tiny cottage that looked straight out of a fairytale. It was a bakery that exclusively sold freshly-made shortbread and gingerbread, run by a local couple — I’ve never tasted anything so delicious.
What's your most vivid travel moment?
Canoeing across the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct in North Wales was surreal — a narrow canal with nothing but a railing on one side and a 100-foot drop on the other. It felt like we were floating in midair. Later, we hiked through Snowdonia National Park, with its rugged trails, quiet lakes, and dramatic peaks. I felt completely immersed in the nature and wildness and was reminded how special and underrated Wales really is.
Where would you love to travel next?
I’d love to explore the lesser-known corners of Paris — like browsing vintage books along the Canal Saint-Martin, people-watching in Buttes-Chaumont Park, or finding tucked-away bakeries in the Marais. It’s a different side of the city that feels more lived-in and local. And with the Eurostar making it so quick and easy, it’s such an easy add-on from London.
