My Story
Travel architect and adventure curator with an eye for hidden gems. I craft bespoke journeys while you dream, specializing in European tours, safaris and luxury cruises.
My Travel Style
My travel philosophy? I don't just vacation — I curate experiences where luxury meets adventure in perfect harmony. As the family compass (guiding my husband and two adventure-seeking offspring), I've mastered the delicate alchemy of blending adrenaline-pumping exploits with champagne-sipping serenity. My travel palette? A sophisticated blend of centuries-old basilicas and boutique beach clubs; archaeological treasures and award-winning tasting menus. Give me cobblestone streets in the morning and pristine white sand between my toes by afternoon. Pour me a craft cocktail as the sun sets over ancient ruins, and I'm in my element. When you entrust your travel dreams to me, consider the minutiae managed. While you're busy deciding between snorkeling with turtles or savoring that Michelin-starred seafood, I've already handled the logistics lurking beneath the surface. Because the only thing that should be complicated about your vacation is deciding which Instagram-worthy moment to post first.

Alana consistently knocks it out of the park! This trip was for my birthday and she certainly made it special. Not only did we arrive to a bottle of fabulous champagne, she remembered my favorite cake flavor and had an enormous box of cupcakes for me. In addition, she was thoughtful enough to include a few other flavors for my boyfriend, in case he wasn't in love with red velvet like me. I appreciate her excellent communication and am already working with her on my next trip :)

Alana was amazing! She and I went back and forth on accommodations for Dublin, and she couldn't have been more spot on with finding us this hotel in this location. It was walkable to everything and in close proximity to the airport.

Without Alana I don't think I ever would have found this place. The hotel typically requires a 2 night minimum, but she was able to work with them to get us 1 night. However, after being there I now understand the 2 night requirement. Upon check in we were given a room upgrade which was wonderful as I don't think we would have gotten that without Alana.

When Alana sent this hotel to me it was a no brainer! The location was just outside of town, but conveniently located to everything. Upon arrival to our room Alana had a bottle of wine waiting with a lovely note. We actually had a nice note and chocolates for us upon arrival at all of our stays, which really set our experience over the top! We will be using Alana for all our luxury travel needs in the future.

2-Day Girls' Trip to Charleston
Every year for our February birthdays, my sister and I take a girls' trip to a vibrant city where we wander and explore at our hearts' leisure. We usually pick a place one or both of us has never been before since we have that insatiable need to see everything and go everywhere, but for this trip we both agreed that quaint, historic Charleston was worth visiting time and time again. The combination of rich history, which we love to immerse ourselves in, to the stunning architecture around every turn, plus the warmth, charm and hospitality of the residents and last but certainly not least, the culinary delights has been enough of an allure to keep us coming back for more over the years. You can easily spend a week in Charleston or a weekend, but here is a wonderful two day itinerary to get you started.

Living "La Dolce Vita” - Family Trip to Rome
Traveling to Rome this summer with my husband and kids was a truly remarkable and life-changing experience for our family! As a parent, I believe that exposing our children to different cultures and destinations around the world is crucial for their holistic development. I had dreamed about wandering the streets of Rome with them for many years and pointing out all of the amazing things we had only seen in books. Plus they were of the perfect ages (14 and 11) to travel overnight and acclimate to jet lag. Rome, with its rich history, vibrant culture, and stunning architecture, provided the perfect backdrop for a memorable family vacation. Overall, our trip to Rome this summer was not just an ordinary vacation, but a transformative experience for our family. It broadened our children's horizons, deepened their appreciation for history and art, and created lasting memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. It reinforced the importance of traveling as a means of gaining new perspectives and learning about the world, shaping our children into well-rounded and cultured individuals.

A Wine and Spa Weekend In Charlottesville, Virginia
I am blessed to live in the foothills of Virginia's wine country, where the cab franc, chambourcin and viognier grapes thrive and produce some delicious varietals for our enjoyment. So, if you are a oenophile like me, then having hundreds of wineries within a short drive is basically heaven. Charlottesville, Virginia, is located two hours away from Loudoun County where I live, so my sister and I road tripped and had the most incredible girls' weekend here one February to celebrate our birthdays. The food, cozy ambience and hotel/resort were all five-star experiences, and I am anxious to go back one day with my husband because this would also make for a perfect romantic couples' weekend away as well!
