My Story
NYC is my home, but Paris will always have my heart. I am a former educator, currently learning about wine. Travel has been my greatest teacher. I love a salty oyster, french fries, and an unexpected upgrade.
Travel Style
I believe exceptional travel should feel as personal as your signature, thoughtfully designed, beautifully paced, and deeply connected to place.
My style blends boutique luxury with immersive local access, exceptional food and wine, and experiences that unfold naturally; whether around a private tasting table, a hidden neighborhood café, or a design-forward hotel that feels like home. I create journeys that are refined, intentional, and meant to be savored.

Diedre is the absolute BEST. She stepped in during a stressful moment when we were having issues with some hotel reservations. She is such a steady-handed expert and advisor and knew just how to course correct. She has impeccable taste, is a clear communicator, and gets back to clients immediately. Diedre is the go-to for all things travel!

Deirdre is an absolute gem! From the very beginning, she provided unwavering support and made every step of the booking process seamless and stress-free. Her attention to detail and genuine care went far beyond any service I’ve ever received. She personally reached out to the hotel to secure both an early check-in and a late check-out, ensuring our arrival and departure were as convenient as possible. What truly set Deirdre apart was how she helped make my sister’s 40th birthday celebration truly unforgettable. She took the time to understand what we were looking for and went above and beyond to curate a special experience. Her recommendation for Sertiano's and assistance with securing our booking made for one of the best meals we’ve ever had in the city. From start to finish, everything was flawlessly executed, allowing us to simply enjoy and celebrate without worry. Her dedication, warmth, and professionalism turned what could have been a routine trip into something extraordinary. Deirdre’s impeccable service made all the difference, and I cannot recommend her highly enough—she is truly a rare find and an absolute pleasure to work with!

Ms. Schwiring made the booking experience easy. I added a night at the last minute and all the booking was made by her.

Eat, Pray, Love in the South of France
After losing my job of 14 years, I wasn’t sure what came next, but I knew I needed space to breathe. I went to the South of France for three weeks, and it became a quiet balm for a bruised spirit. Slow mornings, untimed seaside strolls, bike rides along the coastline, sunrise swims, and long afternoons under striped umbrellas with a stack of books reminded me who I was outside of work. The summer sun and salt air of the Côte d’Azur brought me back to life, gently and day by day.
In this guide, I’m sharing the insider tips, favorite corners, and thoughtful strategies that helped me experience this extraordinary region at its best, even in the height of summer.

Paris Like a Local
Paris holds a special place in my heart. As a true Francophile, I’ve visited more than 20 times and still feel the same rush every time I arrive. What I love most is experiencing the city like a local: lingering in neighborhood cafés, wandering quiet side streets, and embracing moments that feel slightly outside your comfort zone. Paris reveals itself when you slow down, practice a little French, and approach it with patience and curiosity. That’s when you truly experience la joie de vivre.

Loire Valley Girls' Getaway
The Loire Valley holds a deeply personal place in my heart—it’s where I celebrated my 40th birthday surrounded by my five closest friends, who flew in from around the world to be there. We spent our days cycling through vineyards, sipping crisp sauvignon blanc, wandering historic châteaux, and picnicking in wildflower fields, before unwinding by the fire in plush robes after afternoons at the spa. It was the perfect balance of activity and indulgence, discovery and reconnection. For me, the Loire embodies what meaningful travel should feel like: beautiful, grounding, and shared.
