My Travel Style
Hello fellow travelers! Ever wandered into a charming boutique hotel tucked away in a cobbled alley or stumbled upon a hidden gem that's not on every tourist map? That's where my heart's at. I've spent years seeking out those one-of-a-kind spots and unique stays, and I'm all about sharing the love. With me, it's not just about hitting the usual spots; it's about diving deep into the authentic essence of each place. So, if you're up for real experiences with a sprinkle of luxe and maybe a glass of local vino at the end of the day, let's make your next trip unforgettable!

Elyssa is the best! We sat down and chatted about what and how we wanted to have our trip go and she pretty much planned it perfectly.

Elyssa planned our dream Italian honeymoon, and working with her was absolutely seamless! All of the hotels had stunning views, amazing service, and unique character. She found the perfect tours to make sure we saw all the sights that were important to us. Elyssa was also available throughout our trip if we needed, and checked in regularly to make sure things were on track. I’ve recommended her and Fora to my colleagues, friends and family. Thank you, Elyssa, for making our dream honeymoon a reality!

Elyssa planned an amazing long weekend in Mexico City. The hotel was the perfect vibe in an excellent location, offered us great perks and had great service. The excursions were thoughtfully planned and made for an amazing trip experience — full of culture, amazing food, shopping and nightlife in just the right combination to make for a perfect itinerary and truly experience all this vibrant city had to offer. I would love to work with Elyssa again!

Elyssa discussed several options with us and helped us pick the right hotel based on our interests. She recommended restaurants that were fabulous and fun activities. We had a great time! We would definitely use Elyssa again to book another trip. Actually we did use her for a trip in May to Eastern Europe, so stay tuned for a review after that adventure!

A Local's Guide to Whitefish, Montana
Let a local help you experience the charm of Whitefish, Montana. A small, northwestern community along the majestic Rocky Mountains. Whitefish's downtown filled with bars, live music, restaurants and shops as well as the town's proximity to both a serene lake and a ski resort make it the ideal getaway for adventurists, relaxation seekers, families, music lovers and foodies alike. Donning your cowboy boots and hat, make Whitefish a stop on its own, on a road trip or stay a few days while visiting Glacier National Park. Winter or summer, there is something to do for everyone in Whitefish and as a local, I'd love to share my tips, recommendations and favorite things about the town!

Farm to Shore: The Ideal 10 Day Road Trip Through Albania
In Albania, the combination of ancient history, beautiful beaches, National Parks and true local culture creates an enchanting travel narrative, best experienced through the rhythm of the road. Visit Albania during the height of the summer season to experience the perfect weather and beach parties with less of the crowds you would find in Greece or Croatia at that time. Visit at the tail end of summer and spend time in a boutique hotel where, in some cases, you will have the beach almost to yourself. If the Riviera isn't your thing, explore the castles, agritourism, and nature sites of the diverse country.

Dive in the Philippines: Manila, Boracay, Busuanga & Coron Trip Itinerary
I was thrilled to be invited to a wedding on the beautiful island of Boracay in the Philippines. Having to take the long flight out there, I wanted to make the most out of my trip and thus chose to fulfill my long-held dream of learning to scuba dive. Coron, in particular, is perfect for first-time divers due to its clear waters, diverse marine life, and numerous beginner-friendly dive sites. The vibrant coral reefs and historic shipwrecks provide a captivating underwater experience that is both safe and unforgettable for newcomers and experienced divers alike. Furthermore, the serene, secluded accommodations allowed me to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of daily life and truly relax.
