Ever feel bogged down by travel details? Worry about missing the best spots? We get it. That's why we are here—to guide you through the maze of travel planning.
Lifelong lovers of travel, we are passionate about designing one-of-a-kind experiences that you'll cherish for a lifetime. I am food and wine lover, city explorer, busy mom of two who desires to show my favorite people all the world has to offer.
To us, travel isn't just about visiting new places. It's a journey of self-discovery, of broadening one's horizons and breaking free from routine. When you travel with us, you're not ticking off destinations; you're collecting experiences and memories.
Come along with us as we transform our wanderlust into a business whose main goal is to create travel memories that will last you a lifetime.
Featured travel Partners
Exclusive
SERVICES
Our goal is to save you time and stress, while also providing tremendous value. Because we are partnered with a majority of the top preferred partner programs, we're able to offer you exclusive opportunities, upgrades, and amenities that are not available by booking direct or through a third-party, such as Costco or booking.com for the same price.
Travel should be easy and enjoyable, and we would love to help you!
This option is perfect for the client that already has a destination and property in mind, would prefer planning on their own, and is only looking for an elevated experience upon arrival by booking through us.
Pay the same as booking direct, but get VIP treatment through all of our partnerships:
- Upgrade on arrival & extended check-in/out, subject to availability
- Daily breakfast credit for up to two guests per bedroom
- $100 USD hotel or resort credit
- Welcome amenity
Hotel bookings are complimentary! If you have not booked with us within 10-14 days of receiving our proposal, we will charge a Good Faith deposit of $100. This deposit will be fully refunded when you book with us.

“When I learned I had an opportunity for a last minue trip to Paris, I was concerned about how to navigate a large city with two kids. Luckily I had Katie to help! She planned the perfect itinerary for us. asking all the right questions about what my girls would be interested in and how much we wanted to do in a day. She secured tickets and tours in advance and her expertise and assistance made the trip stress-free and so enjoyable for my family. I highly recommend Katie for family travel planning, or any travel planning for that matter.”

“Katie was super helpful planning our family trip to NYC. She was very knowledgeable about the city and provided ample recommendations for activities that I wouldn’t have had if I had booked on my own. Provided a great hotel recommendation too!”
“Hi. Fairmont is LOVELY! We are having an amazing trip (and that’s even with our bags being delayed-the conveyer belt at Newark broke!) Came in, did some hopping, amazing dinner at the hotel too! Thank you for planning this fantastic trip!”

“We are having an amazing time! The girls love both the pirate pool and the water park. Also the kids club had been great for both and they have enjoyed their time when we drop them off. The food is excellent and our concierge is so fun. Just tonight he hid 7 balloon mice around our room. Such a fun surprise to come home too. Thanks for organizing such a fun trip and Tim and I are already taking about a return trip next May!!”

“Katie was great! She was generous with her time and knowledge and she was able to give us insider recommendations to make our stay even better. We feel lucky that Katie was our partner and we will certainly work with her again.
Katie was extremely helpful and full of travel tips. She made a great recommendation for a hotel in Edinburgh and explained why she liked the Kimpton Charlotte Square. She gave us the name of the concierge in case we needed anything and she also suggested restaurants for us to try. Her help with this hotel certainly stepped up our overall experience.”

“Katie was wonderful and knowledgeable about Puerto Rico and the property! She recommended we stop by the Hotel El Convento for lunch or drinks. We stopped in for drinks after a food tour and some shopping in Old San Juan and had a great time at the restaurant Patio del Nispero in this beautiful hotel. Katie, thanks for all the help!”

“We love booking with Katie. She always makes sure we are taken care of! We traveled the day of both my daughter and my husband's birthday, and arrived to a sweet gift in our tent and a "Happy Birthday" sign hanging on the front of it as we entered. It was so thoughtful, and it's the type of details Katie never misses. We will definitely have Katie help us again in the future!”

“Katie is amazing to work with! She handled our reservations for us and we even got an upgraded room. She was very thorough with her questions, asking what we like and don't like. She handled our cabana reservations as well as dinner reservations with the hotel concierge. She helped us find a great off property excursion on the island, link to book pearl harbor tours. She is very detail oriented and takes care of her clients! We will definitely book with Katie again!”
LOVE
“Katie totally nailed what my daughter and I would enjoy for a hotel in Paris. Our first time to Paris was amazing. The hotel she recommended with adjoining rooms and a roof top bar with Eiffel Tower views was perfect for our stay. We so appreciate Katie's ease to communicate with and all that she handled booking our rooms! MERCI!!”
