My Story
I’m an accountant by day and a travel-obsessed adventurer at heart. When I’m not knee-deep in spreadsheets, I’m either running, flowing through yoga, or planning my next big trip, usually with another spreadsheet in hand. Most of my travels are adventure-based: think chasing waterfalls, hiking volcanoes, gallivanting through new cities, or sipping margaritas beachside (balance, right?). I’m all about the outdoors and love connecting with nature, whether it's through a mountain trail or a sunset view.
What lights me up most about travel is discovering new cultures through food, music, and meeting people from all walks of life. I believe every great trip starts with a well-planned itinerary, and I’m here to help you build yours!
Travel Style
Former budget adventurer turned travel advisor—now also a mom of two! While I’ve traded multi-week getaways for 5-day escapes with my husband, my love for epic views, nature, and adventure hasn’t gone anywhere. In my pre-kid days, you could find me kayaking past glaciers, hiking steep mountain trails, and building the ultimate itinerary—always with a color-coded spreadsheet and a cozy Airbnb waiting at the end of the day. Now, I’m all about finding the perfect balance between adventure and comfort, even on a tight schedule. I specialize in off-the-beaten-path experiences, hidden gems, and trips that feel personal—whether you’re going big on luxury or keeping things budget-friendly (without sacrificing the good stuff). If you’re craving a travel experience that feels a little less cookie-cutter and a lot more you, I’m your girl.

Working with Arela Mancinelli was an incredible experience and truly elevated our entire trip. She took care of every detail with such care, professionalism, and genuine thoughtfulness. Arela booked our stay at Hotel Castille in Paris, which turned out to be the perfect choice in every way.
What made her service especially unforgettable was the personal touch she added for our honeymoon. Arela arranged for the hotel to beautifully decorate our room — such a thoughtful surprise that made our arrival feel magical. It was one of those moments that stays with you, and it happened because she went the extra mile.
She was attentive, responsive, and always a step ahead, ensuring our reservations were handled smoothly and that every part of our trip felt effortless.
We are so grateful for her outstanding work and will absolutely turn to her for all of our future travel. Highly, highly recommended!
Thank you!
