My Story

I'm a French-Italian traveler with a love for uncovering hidden gems, whether it’s a vibrant local market, a mountain lodge, a boutique hotel by the beach, or a stay that feels like a well-kept secret. Having lived across continents—from France to Chile, Argentina, Costa Rica, and Hong Kong—I developed an early appreciation for cultural diversity and the feeling of being at home anywhere in the world. After eight years curating wine experiences for clients, I now channel that same care and attention into crafting travel that’s meaningful, sustainable, and thoughtfully tailored to each experience.

My Travel Style

With a multicultural background, a love of languages, and a passion for regenerative travel, I create trips that feel personal and purposeful. I focus on cultural connection, thoughtful planning, and uncovering hidden gems, like a neighborhood restaurant or a unique adventure off the beaten path, that make travel memorable. Every journey is designed with curiosity, rooted in sustainability and a genuine sense of place.

Working with Claire to plan our France vacation was truly the best decision we made. She is absolutely delightful to work with! This was actually the third trip to Europe in which my girlfriend and I utilized her services. From the start, Claire was incredibly personable, taking the time to genuinely get to know my travel interests and preferences. As someone who usually gets overwhelmed by the abundance of choices, her approach was a godsend; she masterfully winnowed down the options to perfectly match my style, making the entire process feel easy and convenient.

Claire's expertise is impressive. She is so worldly and knowledgeable, offering incredible insights into various regions of Europe (and even South America!). She managed all the research and booking—flights, accommodations, delightful restaurants, transportation, and a flawless itinerary. I especially appreciated her diligence; she verified and double-checked everything before we left.

Her communication is excellent, she has great follow-through, and she is wonderfully dependable. Best of all, she even checked in frequently throughout our trip to ensure everything was running smoothly. Considering her comprehensive support, her service rates are extremely reasonable. She makes planning a dream trip stress-free!

Having the entire trip planned by Claire completely transformed our experience. It gave us such peace of mind knowing that all the heavy lifting—from flights and hotel accommodations to restaurant reservations and transportation between locations—was handled. She even provided recommended activities and places to see and visit at each stop. This meant we didn't have to stress out about the logistics, resulting in a remarkably smooth vacation without hiccups. We had so much more time to focus on the enjoyment of the vacation itself, rather than worrying about the next step.

If you are someone who feels overwhelmed by the complexity of travel planning, or if you simply want a truly relaxing and perfectly organized vacation, stop looking and hire Claire. I would tell any prospective client that she is worth every penny of her reasonable service rates. She doesn't just book a trip; she crafts a complete, stress-free experience, handling every detail with care and follow-through so your only job is to show up and enjoy the adventure. She’s the essential ingredient for peace of mind while traveling!

She took the time to get to know what I enjoy and then suggested options that were a perfect fit for me. Booking everything through her was so easy and stress-free. Her recommendations, whether for hotels, tours, activities, or restaurants, were absolutely spot on.
