About

Hi!

I’m Stephanie, a travel advisor for travelers who crave authentic experience and understated luxury.

With decades of travel experience on 6 continents and a deep network of global partners, I curate bespoke itineraries that balance exploration with relaxation, and reflect you.

My travel style: I love to discover gorgeous hotels and indulge in amazing food — from street food and cafe culture to fine dining. My favorite trips are infused with active adventures: early morning rooftop yoga, farm-to-table cooking classes, off-the-beaten-path cycling tours or learning a craft from local artisans.

My goal: to create the most memorable, effortless trip for you. Whether you are a travel planning pro who just needs a bit of extra help in a busy season of life, or someone who wants to outsource every detail, I’ve got you.

FAQs

Is it more expensive to use an advisor?

Not at all! Your hotel room and tours will cost the same booking with me as it does doing directly. My extensive network of hotel and travel partners pay me because they love the repeat clients that I bring in. Depending on complexity, some trips may involve a planning fee, which will always be presented upfront.

Do you limit hotel suggestions to hotels with commissionable rates?

Never. The most important thing to me is curating an amazing trip for you. While I have a global partner network of amazing properties to fit all travel styles, if there is a great boutique hotel that will make your trip extra special, I will always suggest it regardless of whether it has commissionable rates.

I love researching travel - can I still be involved if I work with you?

The beauty of working with me is you can be involved in the planning as much or as little as you’d like. You can still do the research and come to me when you’re ready to book so I can add the finishing touches (access to an upgrade, free breakfast, spa credits, etc.) or suggest some under-the-radar activities to make sure you get the most out of your trip.

What’s the benefit over using my credit card perks?

Booking with me means that you get the same or better perks as credit card programs but you’re prioritized for room upgrades above all other guests. My team has a long-standing, personal relationship with our partners, hotel managers and staff. This means I have a direct line to the places and people taking care of your stay. If an issue arises, I can quickly and effectively address it so you can focus on your vacation and not waiting on hold with the credit card call center.

I also have an invaluable, extensive network of Preferred partners. Preferred partnerships aren’t easy to get – they’re invitation only and the guests booked via preferred partners get special treatment. When you book through me, you’ll be flagged as VIP guests prior to your arrival. Cue bespoke welcome amenities, hyper-personalized attention and maybe even your favorite slice of cake from that local bakery waiting in your room at turn down.

I have a disability or accessibility needs - how can you help?

I have experience with - and a passion for - making sure travel is accessible to everyone. I also have a deep network of accessibility-friendly partners. If you (or a traveler in your group) have needs related to mobility, food allergies or restrictions, neurodiversity, or other accessibility concerns, I am here to support you. I will gather more information about what your specific needs and preferences are, to curate a trip that works for you!

I prefer to use points for booking, can you still help me?
