My Story
I curate beautiful, authentic, and refined travel experiences with no detail overlooked. I love helping my clients discover new places they've never heard of; their own special corners of the world that were hand-picked just for them.
My Travel Style
My travel style is casual, laid-back, and all about balance. I relax as much as I explore, and I plan as much as I leave room to be spontaneous. My days are never hurried, I only visit when the time of year is right, and I spend most of my time in areas where I know there will be good art, good music, and a good crowd.

Emma planned an incredible trip for myself and 4 girlfriends. It was our first time visiting Copenhagen and she helped us to make the absolute most of our time. Emma created the perfect balance of planned activities and free time. She found beautiful and comfortable accommodations in an amazing location for the 5 of us. Emma was very organized, responsive, thorough, creative and thoughtful in her planning. Truly a pleasure to work with.

Emma was so organized, knowledgeable, and listened to our preferences for what we were looking for in a hotel. She ensured every little detail was thought of and planned for and it made our trip so seamless. She also got us an incredible deal that fit our budget. We couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you Emma!

Emma is an absolute lifesaver!
Just two weeks before our wedding, our original honeymoon plans completely fell through—and we were in full panic mode. We reached out to Emma, and within a single day, she came through with incredible options that fit our budget and felt special. She truly went above and beyond.
Thanks to Emma, we ended up staying at the stunning Enchantment Resort in Sedona, AZ, and it was honestly the honeymoon of our dreams. She worked her magic and got us a room upgrade, daily breakfast discounts, and made sure every detail was taken care of. From start to finish, she was fast, thoughtful, organized, and genuinely excited to help us.
Without her, our honeymoon would have been a scramble. Instead, it was peaceful, luxurious, and unforgettable. We’re so grateful for everything Emma did—and we can’t recommend her enough. We love her!
Five stars, no question.

Emma has always been fantastic with our trips. Very well thought out, great with recommendations on hotels and activities and presented in a way that is easy to look thru and get us excited about where we are going. Now that we have worked with her several times, she has a great idea of what we like to do and where to stay and provide an experience that we don't forget. She very responsive and provides suggestions that we hadn't thought about and they turn out to be great experiences! She does provide options of the larger hotel chains, but I love the fantastic boutique and unique options she provides as well. Always recommend her to anyone looking for a great experience!
