About me.
Tinsley Emerson
Hi, I'm Tinsley.I'm a Fora Pro travel advisor based in London, England, specializing in thoughtfully planned, design-forward travel. While I now spend my days helping clients discover incredible hotels, restaurants, and destinations around the world, I didn't grow up traveling.
In fact, I never left the United States until I was in college. Growing up in Houston, Texas, the only trip my family consistently took was our annual ski vacation each spring (which I will always be grateful for). It wasn't until I graduated, started working, and could finally afford weekend getaways that I caught the travel bug.
What surprised me most wasn't just how much I loved traveling—it was how much I loved planning it.
I became obsessed with researching destinations, comparing hotels, finding hidden restaurants, and building detailed itineraries. Friends quickly became accustomed to receiving color-coded spreadsheets and hour-by-hour travel plans. I discovered that planning a trip was almost as enjoyable to me as taking it.
My background in interior design has also shaped the way I travel. I'm endlessly drawn to beautiful hotels, thoughtful architecture, exceptional restaurants, museums, and spaces with a strong sense of design. For me, where you stay is just as important as where you go.
After marrying my husband in 2023, we traded Chicago for London, and living in Europe completely transformed the way I travel. Being able to explore new countries so easily has taught me countless lessons—from navigating Europe's train systems to learning which "viral" restaurants are actually worth your time and which are simply tourist traps. Like every traveler, I've made plenty of mistakes along the way, and those experiences have made me a better advisor.
Today, I combine my love of research with Fora's incredible network of hotel partners to create seamless, personalized trips for my clients.
Whether you're looking for a luxury honeymoon, a European itinerary, a family vacation, or simply the perfect hotel, I'm here to make the planning process easier—and a lot more enjoyable.
How I Can HelpI offer a few different ways to work together:
I look forward to working with you!
