Tailor-Made Journeys,
Crafted Just for You
My name means "smoothly" and that's exactly how I craft travel —seamless, effortless, and in sync with you. After all, what's a better way to travel than smoothly?
As a travel planner, my mission is simple: to fulfill your travel dreams, smoothly. I curate one-of-a-kind journeys, tailored just for you.
Work with me because -
Planning a trip can be overwhelming—endless options, conflicting reviews, and hours of research just to piece together a travel itinerary. That’s where I come in. As a Travel Designer and Vacation Planner, I cut through the noise - using my insider insight, industry connections, and years of expertise to craft a seamless, personalized journey just for you.
I don’t just book hotels and flights—I design experiences. From handpicking stays that match your style to curating exclusive activities you won’t find with a quick Google search, every detail flows effortlessly with your travel vision. No more second-guessing or drowning in logistics—I handle it all so you can focus on what truly matters: enjoying the journey.
Need a last-minute dinner reservation? Done. Got a complex trip in mind and don't know where to start? I’ve got you. Every element is thoughtfully arranged to ensure your trip feels effortless and entirely you.
Time is precious - why spend it stressing over travel planning when an expert can do it for you?
Yes, it cost money to hire a personal vacation travel planner like me —but overall, it saves you money. A lot of it. Unlike traditional travel agents who rely solely on third-party tour operators to assemble pre-packaged trips and pay them commissions—ultimately driving up your costs—I take a different approach. I personally design your journey from the scratch, leveraging multiple booking methods to secure the exact experiences you want at the best value. My loyalty is to you, not the vendors, ensuring that more of your dollar spend goes toward creating the perfect travel experience. If you take a tailor-made trip that I plan and ask a traditional agency or tour operator to replicate it, and if they even could, it would cost you thousands more.
Because I place value on my work, I don't have to worry about limiting your options to only those that pay high commissions or book padded packaged deals with hidden costs that you'll never know about. Some bookings I make don’t pay commission at all.
With expert planning and insider connections, I maximize your budget, delivering value without compromise. Why spend more for less when you can have a one-of-a-kind journey for less?
Travel disruptions happen—flight delays, cancellations, accommodation mishaps, missed reservations. Having an expert travel advisor in your back pocket is not just a convenience, it’s a game-changer and, arguably, the most luxurious part of your journey.
I’m not a “book-it-and-leave-it” travel agent. When you hire me, I remain on-call throughout the duration of your trip - you have a travel partner, concierge, advisor, assistant, navigator, and virtual companion working behind the scenes to ensure everything runs smoothly from start to finish.
Flight rerouted due to weather leaving you stranded in an unexpected city? I’m on it—finding the best solution to get you back on track. Need to tweak your itinerary mid-trip? Just reach out, and I'll make it work.*
Know where you're going - I invest in best-in-class technology, providing you with a detailed itinerary, the necessary documents, confirmations, and all the essential information needed for your journey in an easy-to-navigate app - all you need is your smartphone, which we both know is already your lifeline.
As a travel coach, I empower you to become a better traveler by providing guidance and expert advice to help you navigate the nuances that often comes with travel.
Whether your goal is to explore new destinations, maximize your travel budget, or simply enjoy the journey with confidence, I'll show you the tools, strategies, and mindset to enhance the quality of your trips. From finding hidden gems to mastering loyalty programs and optimizing your experiences, I’ll guide you in developing the skills to travel smarter and smoothly.
I don’t just book trips—I design journeys with a deep intuition for timing, flow, and the details that turn travel into something truly extraordinary.
You know that feeling—the one that stops you in your tracks? You’re sipping tea on the deck of THE rorbuer (cabin) in the Lofoten Islands that you’ve been dreaming of, already thrilled with how perfect it is… then you look up and—BAM—you're under the Northern Lights. It’s the unexpected soundtrack that makes a Mykonos sunset even more breathtaking or the upgrade to a Presidential suite when you're already giddy to have finally made it to a bucket list stay in Singapore. These are the moments that feel serendipitous, yet they don’t happen by accident.
This is Effortless Umami—the core of my travel philosophy, where every element is seamlessly woven together. Strategic stays, seamless transfers, well-timed travel, and those indescribable touches all come together with intention. It’s not luck—it’s foresight, precision, and the art of layering the right moments so the magic unfolds as if it were always meant to be.
Because the best trips don’t just happen. They’re designed to be felt.
My clients choose to work with me not because I specialize in specific regions, but rather that I specialize in their journeys across the world. While many are seasoned travelers who rely on and trust my expertise to help them organize and navigate the nuances of travel in new destinations, I also take much joy in working with those who have been saving and waiting for years to take that once-in-a-lifetime trip. Whether you're an experienced globetrotter or a dream traveler, I am dedicated to ensuring that your journey is epic - in value, wonder and purpose.
With a blend of sensibility, in-depth research and strong relationships with industry leading partners and local destination experts, I curate authentic experiences that are not only safe and reliable but are also enriching and remarkable. No matter the destination or journey, I’m here to prepare you for the world, every step of the way.
