Hi, I’m Jesse, founder of Booked Collective. I’m a New York native living in Brooklyn, a lifelong travel enthusiast, and a book lover. With a background in education and years of experience planning memorable trips for myself, friends, and clients, I’ve discovered that my passion lies in creating meaningful travel experiences that bring people together.

My favorite way to travel is a mix of slow, sun-soaked days—laying on the beach with a good book and taking frequent ocean dips—paired with immersive exploration. I love wandering through historic cities, tasting my way through local cuisine and wine regions, and discovering design-forward stays along the way. My goal is to help others experience that same balance of relaxation, culture, and adventure while making the planning process seamless.

I believe the best journeys are intentional, where every hotel, restaurant, and activity is thoughtfully chosen. From honeymoons on the Amalfi Coast to wine country weekends with friends or multi-generational family adventures, I specialize in designing seamless, design-forward escapes so you can simply enjoy the journey while I handle every detail.
