My Story
I'm a Philadelphia-based travel planner with a passion for creating unforgettable journeys. While my heart beats for the vibrant energy of a fast-paced city, I’m always dreaming of the rolling hills of Tuscany and the perfect Aperol Spritz at golden hour. I'm a wife and mom to two girls — one human baby and one fur baby — and I cherish making memories with my little family whenever I can. It’s truly an honor for me to plan travel for my clients. I specialize in crafting personalized experiences that leave lasting memories — whether it's a romantic escape, a cultural deep-dive or a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. My goal? To turn every trip into a story worth telling.
My Travel Style
My travel style is all about blending thoughtful planning with meaningful experiences. I love creating itineraries that balance iconic sights with hidden gems, and I always look for ways to add a personal touch — whether that’s a scenic driving route, a tucked-away wine bar or a perfectly placed hotel. There’s absolutely a time and place for five-star luxury in my book, but I also have a deep love for boutique properties with character and charm. I believe great travel should feel seamless, inspiring and reflective of each traveler’s unique interests, pace and sense of adventure.

We would highly recommend Chiara as your travel advisor. She asked questions about what we liked to do and what we wanted from our trip to Italy. She made sure that our experience was exceptional! There wasn’t one detail missed! The travel app was amazing! Loved it!

I’m a planner by nature (and profession), so I’ve never felt the need to engage a Travel Advisor—but I had no idea what I was missing! Planning is one thing, but having someone who knows the tourism industry and how to truly curate a vacation is an entirely different level. All of that to say, we had an incredible experience working with Chiara. She truly took the time to get to know us and understand our travel preferences—from the style of hotels we enjoy, to the types of food we love, and even the balance of activity versus relaxation we were looking for. Every detail of our honeymoon was curated with such thoughtfulness, making the entire trip seamless and stress-free. The itinerary app she provided was a game changer—all of our plans, tickets, and confirmations were organized in one place, which made navigating each day effortless. Thanks to her expertise and attention to detail, we were able to just enjoy the trip without worrying about logistics. It was the perfect honeymoon, and we’re so grateful for her support in bringing it to life!

Chiara was an absolute delight to work with! She planned our weeklong honeymoon in Sicily and it was better than we could have ever hoped for. Every dinner was fantastic and she somehow was able to reserve us the best seats in the house. She planned an incredible wine tour with traditional Sicilian lunch for us which was the highlight of our trip. She also planned an adventurous day for us to tour Mount Etna, which was incredible. We sincerely hope we have the chance to work with her again and have already referred her to others.

From the moment we reached out to Chiara to plan our trip, we didn’t have to worry about a thing. She took care of every detail — from arranging transportation to the resort, to making sure check-in was seamless, and everything in between. The entire experience was effortless and perfectly organized. We were able to simply relax and enjoy our vacation knowing that Chiara had handled it all. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a stress-free, beautifully planned getaway!
