MORE THAN JUST WHERE YOU’RE GOING
A great international trip is more than choosing a beautiful place and booking a hotel. It’s knowing where to stay, how to get around, what’s actually worth doing, and how to make the whole trip flow without feeling overplanned.
That’s where I come in. I help connect the right pieces so the trip feels thoughtful, personal, and easy to enjoy once you’re there.
Hotels and resorts that fit your style, your priorities, and the kind of trip you want.
The things you’ll actually be excited to do, not just activities added to fill the itinerary.
Transfers, timing, transportation, and the little things that make the trip run more smoothly.
Not a standard itinerary. Not someone else’s vacation. Something built around you.
The things you really care about & the things you’d happily skip.
The people you’re traveling with shape the trip just as much as the destination.
HOW I PLAN YOUR TRIP
Some people want every day filled. Others want beautiful places, good food, and plenty of room to slow down. Some care most about the hotel, while others would rather spend more on the experiences.
That’s why I start with you first. Once I understand what matters, I can narrow down the right places, stays, and experiences instead of throwing a long list of options your way.
Maybe it’s the hotel, a special experience, or simply making the logistics easier.
Relaxed, romantic, adventurous, easy, or somewhere in between.
WHERE THIS COULD TAKE YOU
Maybe you already know exactly where you want to go. Maybe you just know you want warm water, amazing food, somewhere romantic, or a trip that feels completely different from home. Either way, we can start there and build the rest around you.
Italy, Switzerland, Mediterranean escapes, multi-city trips, and the places you’ve had on your list for years.
Beautiful stays, slower days, incredible water, and the kind of trip where the hotel is part of the experience.
Easygoing island time, great resorts, memorable experiences, and as much or as little planned as you want.
Have another destination in mind? Tell me about it. These are just a few places to get the conversation started.
WHAT I ACTUALLY HELP WITH
Depending on your trip, I can help with the pieces that usually take the most time to figure out, from where to stay and how to get around to what’s actually worth doing once you’re there.
The goal isn’t to over-plan every minute. It’s to make sure the important parts are handled, the timing makes sense, and you can enjoy the trip without constantly wondering what comes next.
What I Can Help With
Finding the right places to stay for your style, budget, and itinerary.
Making the movement between airports, hotels, cities, and experiences feel easier.
Choosing the things that are genuinely worth your time and make the trip more memorable.
Helping you find places that fit the trip instead of leaving every meal to chance.
Making sure the days actually make sense together and don’t feel rushed.
Those easy-to-miss pieces that can make the whole trip feel much smoother.
WHY WORK WITH ME
There are endless hotels, reviews, itineraries, and “must-do” lists out there. The hard part isn’t finding options. It’s knowing which ones actually make sense for you.
That’s where I come in. I listen first, narrow things down, and help you make decisions based on your budget, your priorities, and the way you really want to travel.

“I contacted Samantha to help me book a weekend getaway with my husband of our 25 year anniversary. I gave her a budget and a general idea of what I was looking for. She gave me 3 options to choose from and as soon as I made the decision to book, I paid for it. Once we arrived at our destination, she arranged for a nice bottle of champaign and a Happy Anniversary note. It was a pleasant surprise. I can’t wait to have her book our next trip 😊”
