Plane and Cheesy through Words and Pictures
It all started with an idea to inspire travel, eat all kinds of foods, and connect culture to all the pieces in between. The lifestyle is budget friendly and itinerary-based- very easy for a college student or group of friends to explore.
my story
WHERE THE INSPIRATION STARTED
They say that good things come in little packages, but honestly, this has been the ride of a lifetime. Since starting Plane and Cheesy, I’ve been able to connect with all kinds of people and work towards inspiring travel through a different lens. People always asked me how I budgeted travel in my little student job… and it’s
exactly why I’m here. Appreciating all kinds of cultures exposes you to exquisite foods, experiences throughout the cities, and just a wanderlust mindset. I want to share that regardless of where you are with your personal or professional life, you can make time for anything you set your mind to. It all starts with you and your goals!

A GLIMPSE INTO MY LIFE
Growing up in Miami has been a dream, I’ve seen the unthinkable because Miami is its own country. You see everything, I’m not kidding. But that’s what makes it true to its roots. I took my talents to the Greater Chicagoland area for about four years, graduated from my masters, and met my forever person with his four-legged best friend.
In 2023, we’ll be welcoming a new pup and I’m SO excited! Back in the sunshine state and enjoying life in our cozy condo.
