My Travel Style
With a background in music and theater, I'm always in search of a local performance followed by a gorgeous meal tucked away down a back street filled with warm-hearted locals. I love traveling to destinations in the off season – you'll often find a more immersive trip where you can connect with the culture and the people. On we go!

Elizabeth was wonderful to work with! She asked great questions to maximize my experience and went out of her way to plan an extraordinary trip. I have unfortunately not had the opportunity to do much traveling yet; having the access to her skills, knowledge, and suggestions made my trip so much more satisfying and relaxing. I would not hesitate to work with Elizabeth again and will recommend her to anyone looking for a travel advisor!

Elizabeth helped me plan the trip of a lifetime to Ghana taking into consideration that my husband and I were traveling with a 2 year old and 4 year old and turned what could have been sweaty controlled chaos into the best adventure we have ever had. I've referred her to everyone even thinking about thinking about a trip. Loved it!

We had the pleasure of working with Liz for our recent trip to London and Scotland, and couldn't be happier with the services provided. Liz offered a range of travel planning services that we took advantage of, including accommodation recs and bookings, transportation, arrangements, restaurant recs, and assistance with activity bookings. Her expertise and attention to detail made our trip truly memorable. During our two week journey, she guided us through the popular tourist attractions while also curating bespoke activities that allowed us to experience the hidden gems and local favorites. Her extensive knowledge of the area made a significant difference in the quality of the trip. Liz is incredibly responsive and maintained regular contact through both email and phone, ensuring every detail was taken care of. Even when we had a last minute change in our plans, she promptly assisted us in adjusting our hotel. Everything was meticulously organized. I wholeheartedly recommend Liz to anyone in need of a travel planner. Thank you so much Liz for an exceptional experience!

Elizabeth was extremely valuable. She was able to secure for our family a reservation at a property and time of year that’s extremely hard to get. Upon arrival, our rooms were ready and we were offered a very nice room upgrade. Elizabeth coordinated all of the many details of our travel with grace, professionalism and true expertise. What a pro!

Elizabeth was fantastic, she helped me find an affordable yet luxury hotel for my Paris trip. We were able to see all the big sights in Paris because of the tour she found. I was able to experience Paris from a bus and a boat. None of the stops on the tour covered any entrance fees so she went the extra mile and included the hours they were open and the cost of tickets in the event we wished to add them to the tour. Her response time is also on point, I would highly recommend Elizabeth time and time again. Thank you again for your service Elizabeth!!

Essential Poland in 1 Week
Poland is both part of my genes and my soul, and one place in Europe that should be on your radar. It's a stunning mix of history, resilience and culture and an unforgettable destination. Poland is a great place to visit year-round, though my favorite time is May or October. It's an extremely religious country so keep in mind Roman Catholic holidays will mean lots of things are shut down, but it can also be the perfect time to slow down and experience Poland as the locals know it.
