Specializing in Custom Mediterranean Itineraries

The Med is such a great location for solo travelers, couples and families. I personally like to travel to Spain every year in the Spring. I love the culture, the food, the people. Every trip, there is something new to do or see and I never get tired of it all. There is a region in the Med for every client. 

Europe is one of those quintessential travel locations that everyone should do at least once in their lives. For hundreds of years it has been an education right of passage. When you travel your world gets a little bit bigger in the best possible ways. If you want to try something new or if you want to learn from masters there's something for you. If you want to lay on a beach or hike in the mountains, there is something for you. If you want to eat your way across a country (always my personal first choice), there's not just something for you, it's everything. You will find some of the best food in the world here. 

How do we make the magic happen for our clients? We combine relationships with local guides and experts, with our own personal on the ground experience to make sure that we plan the right vacation for you. An entirely custom experience tailored to your needs and wants.

A little background on me - I am a travel addict jack-of-all-trades. I have most recently worked for a major US airline in operations. I have been planning travel for clients for years. I am a Certified Autism Travel Specialist and I plan many allergy vacations due to my own experience with severe food allergies. 

I have been on both the front and back office sides of the travel world. But I have worked in event planning specializing in weddings. It is an unbeatable combination of deeply ingrained skills. 

Also, I tend to travel 10+ times a year but try to mix business and pleasure. I want to know what my clients experience when they go through different airports, what the check in process is like at various brands, and what dietary options are out there for my clients that have restrictions. I want to know what their exploration options include. I like to build relationships with our travel partners so that I know my clients are safe. I want to know that when I recommend a service, that it passes my test.

I can be as involved or hands off with your vacation as you would like. I have some clients who give me a loose set of dates and a location and tell me to just have fun with it. I have some clients who know exactly the city they want to visit and need a facilitator. Regardless i'm here to do the research, put together the plan, the experiences and the dining. I will put it all into an app that you can keep at the tip of your fingers. 

Whether you are honeymooners looking to travel across Italy, or a family with young kids looking to take a cruise and visit multiple countries, or a solo traveler who enjoys the peace and flexibility of doing whatever you want whenever you want (that's me, I like to travel solo), there is a spot for you.

When it comes down to it, you can trust me to cut through the noise, the endless Internet search spiral, and help you decipher between good deals and deals too good to be true. I am a travel concierge.
