Born and raised in northern New Jersey, Patty’s love for travel began at a young age, spending her early years exploring ancient European cities, soaking up the sun in the Caribbean, and skiing the mountains out west. Patty’s desire to travel followed her to Bucknell University, where she spent time abroad, living in Australia and exploring the immense beauty of Asia Pacific. After college, Patty spent her spare time traveling all over the world, and thus became a trusted travel resource for family and friends. It was then when Patty decided to transition to a full-time career in travel. She is a veteran of the industry, spending the last few years working at a boutique luxury travel consultancy in New York City.  Recently, she brought her talents to the team at Local Foreigner. Her greatest joy is planning bespoke and unique itineraries for her clients all over the world and providing them with the highest level of service.
