Travel style

I love traveling in a way that blends sustainability and immersion, always seeking out local adventures with purpose. I specialize in discovering unique spots and lesser-known destinations, often planning my trips around culinary delights. With my background in pharmacy and a focus on holistic health and functional medicine, I make wellness a priority on every journey. I'm very points-savvy and always maximize points on flights to enhance my travel experiences. My travel style balances savvy strategies with indulgent moments, ensuring a well-rounded and enriching adventure every time.

Aparna's reviews

Everything was great! We do another trip but a different cruise line. We had a great Travel agent who got me a nice credit towards the spa which was greatly appreciated.

Aparna did a fantastic job in providing recommendations and overall travel advice. She responded promptly to messages and was always available, 5/5 stars.

It’s all about the details for any trip you take, especially with kids. And Aparna had each and every detail figured out for our very last minute Disney world trip. We were VERY picky about flight times and hotel and even with limited options Aparna was able to give us a couple of options. My husband requested a Tesla as a rental and she found one for him!!

Aparna called the hotel ahead of time to make sure we had a crib in our suite, and alert the hotel that my son has a peanut allergy. We reached the hotel and found the cutest note and sweets from Aparna - my kiddos were so happy!

I will continue to work with Aparna for all my future trips - she is not only knowledgeable but passionate about traveling. She has great insight and tips that I would have never known if it weren’t for her!

Aparna went above and beyond to ensure an excellent travel experience and make sure my Bali trip was memorable. She made great recommendations on hotel accommodations and worked with me on choosing the perfect ones. Aparna worked out all the details of the trip, including making sure we absolutely great driver/guides for our entire trip that were knowledgeable, kind, and trustworthy. Aparna also took care of booking our tours and side trips such as experiencing the Bali swings, visiting waterfalls, and a boat trip to Nusa Penida. She was also instrumental in making sure we experienced the spiritual side of Bali during our stay in a retreat center in Ubad and visiting local temples and a full moon ceremony. I will definitely use Aparna for my future travel plans and will recommend her to friends and colleagues.
