My Story

Travel speaks to my soul. Curating journeys is my passion. Let me turn your travel dreams into reality with bespoke itineraries from mountains to the sea.

My Travel Style

Having journeyed across the globe as a solo traveler in my 20s and 30s, I've experienced the transformative power of travel firsthand. Now, as a mother, I've rediscovered the magic of exploring new places through the wonder-filled eyes of my children. Alongside managing the delicate balance of work and family life, my husband and I cherish our couple's getaways, rekindling our spirits and strengthening our bond.

From serene mountain retreats to sun-kissed seaside getaways, my extensive personal adventures have equipped me with invaluable insights into crafting unforgettable travel experiences, whether you're seeking solitude, family bonding, a getaway with friends or a romantic escape with your partner. Let me guide you in weaving those fleeting moments into a tapestry of beautiful memories that will last a lifetime.

Carol did a fantastic job. She rebooked us to an upgraded room that included the breakfast buffet. We had a wonderful stay.

Carol Hamasaki did such a wonderful job of setting up our stay in Osaka. There were no snafus - our hotel was perfect and the tours she booked for us in Osaka, Kyoto, and Nara were all top-notch. Her recommendations and travel instructions were extremely helpful and made our travels within Japan seamless and efficient. She even kept in touch with us while we were in Japan to ensure that everything was going as planned. I look forward to working with Carol on future oversees trips.

I travel for business about 6-8 times a year and working with Carol makes it so much easier! She handles everything and when I have flexibility on where to stay, finds great accommodations that fit all my needs and more. She is super easy to work with, very proactive and professional and extremely detail oriented. Nothing ever falls through the cracks!

Carol was amazing! Thorough, knowledgeable and communicative. Because of her research and expertise, we booked a great hotel and had a fantastic tour of the city. Highly recommend.

My husband and I made a last-minute decision to visit the mighty five national parks in Utah during our 12 year old son’s spring break. The end of March and beginning April is the most popular time to visit, so this last-minute planning presented many challenges. When we got really stressed out planning the trip, we were introduced to our travel advisor, Carol Hamasaki. She is extremely knowledgeable and very professional. Travelling is her passion and helping planning dream trips is her mission. She listened to our needs and was able to create an itinerary that suits our interests and our schedule perfectly. She is responsive, efficient, and very detailed oriented. She was able to book a rental car and hotels near the five different parks very quickly and within our budget. She made herself available whenever we needed her and coordinated everything seamlessly. We had a great planning and booking experience with Carol and had a fantastic trip thanks to Carol’s help.
