Travel style
My wanderlust story began when I studied abroad in Spain in 2015, which led to weekend adventures exploring most of Europe. It was there that my love for travel ignited. I've come a long way from staying in hostels and budget hotels; now, I love discovering unique boutique hotels and resorts in fun + trendy neighborhoods that allow me to explore cities by foot.
My true passion lies in helping others plan their dream trips, and I'm known for putting in the hard research to uncover those hidden gems that make every trip extraordinary. Let's chat about your travel goals and I'll pair you with some of my favorite destinations/hotels to make your journey unforgettable!

Alex 's reviews
Alex made the whole process very easy. Appreciated her help with getting us extras like early check in and breakfast credit. We are so appreciative of her work and that she was always quick to respond and help when we had questions before and after our trip. Her process made everything easy at check-in as well. Would definitely book with Alex again!

She's simply amazing. She always knows the best resorts along with the things to do. I will only use Alex Sallis going forward. I've done much travel, but never have I had someone like Alex who has made travel great for me.

Alex spent time with us deciding which location is best for us during our stay in Scottsdale. She presented us with all quality hotels/resorts. After looking over the list and looking at each location, Alex and I agreed on the best choice for our vacation. She made it easy to book and pay for the reservation. She was available during our stay to answer any questions we had. We will be using her services again for our next vacation. You would be smart to let her plan your next vacation!!!
