Alaethea made our entire trip unforgettable. From the very first conversation, it was clear how much care and thought she puts into every detail. She didn’t just plan a vacation, she crafted a personalized experience around our goals. Every hotel she recommended was not only beautiful and perfectly located, but they each came with thoughtful perks that truly elevated our stay. Every stop felt special in its own way and we were constantly impressed by how seamless everything was.
Her deep knowledge of destinations and incredible network of properties from charming boutique hotels to larger luxury properties meant we never had to compromise on what we wanted. She made the entire planning process easy, enjoyable, and exciting.
We’re so grateful for everything Alaethea did to make our trip magical. We absolutely adore her and cannot imagine planning future travel without her. She’s a true expert and an absolute joy to work with!

Alaethea was so kind to help us have an above and beyond experience at our hotels! She was quick to communicate and we are looking forward to using more of her services for future trips. Because of her added touch each hotel had an extra little welcome surprise waiting for us which was very special.

I can’t recommend Alaethea enough! She helped plan and book all the hotels for our 15-day trip across Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka—and everything was perfect. Traveling with a group of six can be complicated, but she made the entire process feel seamless and stress-free.
Each hotel had the right vibe, spacious rooms, and was in a fantastic, walkable location that made exploring so easy. You could tell she really listened to what we wanted and curated options that matched our style and needs. Thanks to her, our Japan trip was not just smooth, it was unforgettable.
If you’re planning a trip and want someone who truly knows how to deliver an amazing experience, Alaethea is the one.

8 Days in Sicily: A Laid-Back Luxury Honeymoon in Palermo & Beyond
Sicily is a place that invites you to slow down—whether you’re sipping wine in the countryside, swimming in hidden coves, or sharing plates of fresh seafood under the stars. For couples, it’s the perfect mix of romance, relaxation, and culture. I love planning trips here because it offers something rare: a feeling of luxurious seclusion without the fuss. It’s Italy, but softer, sunnier, and full of soul.

A Food Lover’s Guide to Paris: Cafes, Bistros and Bars
Paris holds a special place in my heart, as I’ve been fortunate to visit quite often, discovering something new and magical on each trip. Whether it’s savoring a perfect buttery croissant at a tucked-away bakery or finding a cozy wine bar that feels like a hidden gem, the city always reveals a fresh perspective.

Review of Susurros del Corazón, Auberge Resort in Punta Mita, Mexico
In February of 2024, I took a trip with my husband to one of the most beautiful properties I have ever stayed at, Susurros del Corazon, an Auberge Resort. Mexico has always been our go-to destination when we need some time to ourselves, and our stay in Punta Mita was our favorite to date. Susurros del Corazon has truly thought of every detail, incorporating parts of the local culture into the smallest moments. I am eager to go back and definitely would recommend to any of my clients for a trip - from a honeymoon to a relaxing family vacation.
