Hi, I'm Kendra.

I've spent most of my life in motion. Living and working across the US, Europe, and Asia, picking up languages (French, Spanish, Mandarin…some a little rusty, all still useful), and building what I can only describe as an unreasonable knowledge of where to eat in almost any city on earth.

My career has taken me through music, fashion, culinary, sports, and entertainment. Always in partnerships and events, always somewhere interesting. That background gave me something most travel writers don't have: a real understanding of how experiences are built, what makes them memorable, and how to tell the difference between something that looks good on Instagram and something that actually changes how you see the world.

The Lavish Bohemian started as a place to put the recommendations I was giving everyone anyway. It grew into a travel planning service, a food and lifestyle journal, and a running archive of things worth doing and places worth going.

I'm a new mom to a beautiful baby girl, a public speaking obsessive, a nail art enthusiast, and I'm currently in the middle of relocating from London to Austin via a transatlantic boat crossing, because why not. My clients range from honeymooners, to family adventurers, and what they all have in common is that they want a trip that actually fits their life; not a template.

If you're here to book travel planning, browse recommendations, or just see where I'm going next… welcome. You're in the right place.
