TRAVEL SERVICES

Every detail curated with you in mind.

I design immersive, deeply personal travel experiences for people who want more than a typical vacation. Every trip begins with understanding how you want to feel: what excites you, what restores you, and what would make your time away truly meaningful.

 From there, I handle the research, logistics, and coordination, so you can step into a trip that feels intentional, expansive, and entirely your own. 

Thoughtfully designed trips, built entirely around you

YOUR VACATION DAYS ARE PRECIOUS.
The pressure to make each one count is real, and the fear of wasting them on the wrong destination keeps you from booking at all. 

YOU'RE DROWNING IN OPTIONS.
 
Every blog, forum, and review site says something different, and the more you research, the more overwhelmed you feel.

YOU'RE TOO BUSY TO PLAN THIS TRIP WELL.
Between the demands of your job, life, and adulting, planning an amazing trip has become just one more thing on a long list of to-dos.

YOU WANT SOMETHING MEANINGFUL AND UNIQUE.
You're not interested in tourist traps or cookie-cutter itineraries, but you're not sure how to find the hidden gems on your own.

What’s standing between you and the trip you actually want.

So you can show up and simply be.







Imagine landing in a new country and feeling only excitement. No last-minute scrambles, no wondering if you picked the right hotel, no agonizing over what you might be missing. Reservations made with intention. Experiences chosen because they reflect who you are and what brings you joy. The people waiting to guide you on the ground? Trusted, vetted, and extraordinary at what they do.

That’s the experience I create. Whether it’s a safari in Kenya, a wellness retreat in Bali, or a solo cultural immersion through Japan, I design trips that feel as bold, thoughtful, and intentional as you are.

From the moment you reach out to the moment your flight home touches down, the details that matter most are researched, curated, and cared for by me personally.


You’ve earned this trip. Let someone else handle the details.

Dedicated support before, during, and after your trip so you’re never navigating it alone

Trusted local experts so you can experience destinations through people who truly know them

VIP hotel perks like complimentary breakfast, room upgrades, spa credits, and unique local experiences

When you work with me, you're gaining access to exclusive benefits, trusted industry connections, and a level of personalized support that no booking platform can offer.

Here’s what planning with me looks like:

The perks of planning with an expert at your side.

DON’T WAIT FOR SOMEDAY. 

The World Awats

"Emily planned a 10-day trip through Thailand and Cambodia that was nothing short of magical. She listened to what I wanted, then added ideas I never would have thought of. From a private sunrise tour of Angkor Wat to wandering local markets, it was the perfect balance. I can't wait for what's next!"

- NORA P.

"You want Emily at the helm of your trip. She organized a trip for me last year to Madagascar that was the trip of a lifetime! She’s brilliant at balancing different travel preferences to find the best experiences for a group and adapting plans so things run smoothly no matter where you are."

- PHILIP R.

"With a packed schedule and major family responsibilities, I relied on Emily to handle every detail – and she delivered. In two weeks across Vietnam and Laos, we hit the highlights, discovered hidden gems, and ate incredibly well. The highlight? A perfectly timed boat ride during the Hoi An lantern festival. Unforgettable."

MY SIGNATURE PROCESS

plan your trip

Ready to take the first step toward your next adventure?

I dive deep into your destination, collaborate with trusted local partners, and craft a custom itinerary tailored to you. I present everything via call or video walkthrough, and we refine it together until it feels exactly right.

Once approved, I handle the bookings and prepare you for your departure. Then you depart and the adventure truly begins! Everything is in place so you can be fully present. Once you’re back, we debrief and begin dreaming up what’s next.
We start with your trip inquiry form and a discovery call where I learn how you like to travel, what brings you joy, and what you want to experience on this particular trip. The more I understand you, the better I can design something extraordinary.

Hotel-Only or Cruise-Only Booking. Know exactly where you want to stay and when? Let me take care of the booking for you.








Through deep research, trusted partners, and a network of vetted on-the-ground experts who know their destinations intimately. I've also made it my life's work to stay immersed in the world of travel, so even when I haven't been somewhere myself, I have partners who have, and I build something extraordinary in close collaboration with them. Plus, I’m constantly exploring new destinations and deepening my knowledge, so my perspective is always growing and evolving.

I've always planned my own trips. Why would I hire a travel advisor? 

How do you design travel for destinations you haven't been to? 

I do. My fees reflect the depth of expertise, global partnerships, and personalized service I bring to every trip. The Signature Escape, my comprehensive custom itinerary design package, is $500 for up to two people and ten days. The Perfect Stay, for finding the right hotel or cruise for you, is $200 per booking. The Getaway, for hotels or cruises you’ve already selected, is complimentary. Fees are paid prior to any research or booking and are nonrefundable and not applied to the cost of travel. 

Do you charge a fee? 

Absolutely. I can book expedition, river, or ocean cruises for you and can handle everything from selecting the right ship and itinerary to securing the best available cabin. If you already know your preferred cruise and travel dates, I’ll take care of the booking at no cost. If you’d like me to match you with the right cruise based on where you want to go and how you want to travel, that falls under The Perfect Stay service, which is $200. 

Can you book cruises? 

Virtuoso is the world's leading luxury travel consortia. As an independent affiliate of Gifted Travel Network, a Virtuoso member, my clients get access to exclusive perks at the world's top hotels, including complimentary breakfast, room upgrades, dining or spa credits, unique local experiences, and early check-in and late checkout, all subject to availability. 

What is Virtuoso? 

Yes, airfare booking is available as part of my à la carte Concierge Menu. Just let me know during our Discovery Call and I'll take care of it! 

Can you book flights? 

I hear this often, and I get it. Researching destinations used to be part of the fun. But there's a big difference between booking a trip and designing an unforgettable experience. My job isn't just to book things: it's to get to know you as a traveler, know which experiences are worth your time, and connect you with the people and places that will make your trip meaningful. 

Yes! If you're coordinating a larger group (10 people or more) for special event, reach out and I'll make it happen. This includes corporate groups, incentive travel, family reunions, wellness retreats, as well as groups united by a shared interest: think art history tours, culinary deep dives, or birding expeditions.

Do you work with groups? 

What you might be wondering.

Your dream trip isn't something to keep pushing to "someday." Let's design something meaningful, immersive, and entirely yours.
