Did you know:
On average, people spend 20-30 hours planning a trip—some even spend 40+ hours
One study found that, in the 45 days leading up to a trip, people spent an average of over 5 hours PER DAY on travel planning.
And the most time-consuming part of all? Making those in-depth lists of the flakiest croissants in Paris or the coolest manga stores in Tokyo. You know: those insider places that make the experience unique.
Woof. Who has time for that?!
💙 "You always have the best recommendations for travel, restaurants, and local attractions."
So who am I?
Hola! I'm Stephanie, and trust me, I've been there.
I’ve been in the travel industry since 2007 and spent 11 years working at one of the best private tour operators in the world. I’ve planned customized trips for HUNDREDS of demanding, discerning clients (think Succession, but nicer). In fact, I was named a Top Travel Specialist in Condé Nast Traveler in 2021 and 2022.
But whenever I was researching my own trips, it would take me HOURS to sift though all the information, trying to find good sources for recommendations.
Mostly, I saw a lot of generic travel advice that just focused on fancy hotels or hot-right-now restaurants and missed the rest of the experience. Or worse, was crowdsourced from an unreliable stranger.
That's why now I'm putting my skills, knowledge and expertise to work for YOU.
