About
A lifelong love of learning makes me want to drink from a firehose of new cultures and experiences. If you share this thirst, I'll help you satisfy it!
Travel style
As a traveler, I'm all about experiences. Life is too short to spend time in a hotel that's just OK. I'll help you find the absolute best destinations, properties and activities for the experience you want to have. From glassblowing in Venice to learning traditional dances in Colombia, from reef snorkeling in Hawai'i to hiking a glacier in Iceland, you'll find me out and about on any trip I take — but I still love a tranquil pool day now and then. Music, food and writing/literature are my passions, and I seek out special experiences in these areas.

Elizabeth's reviews
Elizabeth puts a personal touch on all her clients travel plans. Very accommodating and fun to work with! She definitely cares about giving her clients the best possible experience!

It was my first trip to that area of Italy and Elizabeth made the planning so smooth and easy. She helped me narrow down the best itinerary for what I wanted to experience and for what I wanted to spend. The whole trip was even better than I expected. The hotel in Ischia had everything I needed for a relaxing and wonderful 4 days but I was also able to venture out and explore the town and castle. It was my first time in Naples and she booked a bike tour for me, which was an amazing experience. I was able to see many historic places in the city and stunning views of the sea. Even though I am an experienced traveler and speak Italian, Elizabeth’s detailed planning and professionalism helped me experience things I would not have found on my own. I definitely plan to request her services again for future travel and I highly recommend her!

I’ve worked with Elizabeth for several trips and she is so good at what she does! She brings a balance of personal experience and thorough research, along with a curious spirit that genuinely loves discovering new places. I know that I can count on her to recommend lodging and activities that are perfect for my preferences and travel style - not just cookie-cutter options. Her attention to detail is immaculate, so I know I can trust that everything will be taken care of. Caution: Once you work with Elizabeth, you may never want to book a trip on your own again!

Elizabeth was great! Helpful and clear in communicating before and during the trip. When there were payment issues, she leaned right in to connect with the manager and the booking platform. She resolved the issues and I didn’t need to be involved. Priceless!!! A great service! Thank you!
