About

You want someone who will sweat the details? That’s me! I love exploring places through food, music, art and unusual sights. My favorite souvenir to bring home is a local amaro - a bitter liqueur made with local plants, it will always taste unique to the place I visited.

Travel style

I’ve explored 30 countries and every corner of the United States, but somehow my “to visit” list is getting longer instead of shorter. I curate itineraries that balance luxurious treats and authentic local grit so that you'll always have a memorable experience. My favorite properties have a personal touch and I'm enthusiastic about supporting local businesses and communities. I like to learn, so knowledgeable guides and interesting tours are my personal travel hack. Whether it’s a relaxing getaway, an action-packed group trip, or a multi-generational family vacation, I take the time to understand each person's interests and needs and then create a plan that's perfectly bespoke.

Diana's reviews

We had a great experience working with Diana. All of her recommendations were spot-on for what we wanted, and I am so grateful I didn't have to book everything myself. We referenced her travel itinerary and guide many times over the course of the trip. I really enjoyed the food tour in Taiwan that she booked for us, that was a gem I wouldn't have found otherwise. I also appreciated the recommendation to book on JAL — I loved their business class! Absolutely would recommend Diana to all my friends.

Diana made a perfect match for us with this hotel. She was clear and responsive in her communication with us throughout our travels. This was just one of many great ideas she had for our trip to Taiwan and Japan.

Credit due to our travel agent, Diana Turner, who researched and advised us on our trip of a lifetime. Taking in full consideration that “grandma” was traveling with a 24yr old grandchild, all expectations were exceeded.
