So, who am I?

I’m a Brooklyn-raised creative with roots in music, media, and photography. After years in the industry, I started sharing my own trips—where to stay, what to eat, how to get around—and one Bali photo changed everything. My DMs filled with questions from everyday travelers, influencers, and even celebrities. I realized what people wanted wasn’t just inspo; they wanted clarity—without the stress.

Changing how you travel

Erika Star exists to make travel feel calm, elevated, and doable. Think: a spa-like website experience with guides that actually answer your questions. How to use the trains in Europe. Where to drop your bags. The brunch spot in London that really hits. The best neighborhoods for nightlife. What to pack (with links). Safety cues for solo women. And if you want more, I create custom, faux-luxury itineraries—elevated trips without the pretension or wild price tag.

Travel can be safe. It can be stylish. It can be yours.

I’m bilingual (English/Spanish), detail-obsessed, and minimalist at heart. You’ll feel that in my design, my itineraries, and the way I communicate: clean, honest, and to the point. You can browse city guides, shop my Amazon travel kits, book hotels through partner links I genuinely recommend, or sit down with me for a 1:1 to build your dream trip. Whether you’re a solo woman, a couple planning something romantic, or a mom carving out time for joy—this is your space to feel at ease, informed, and excited.
