Gaya is fabulous. She helped me design this trip from start to finish, and every step of the way was perfect. My mother and I had such a wonderful time, and we will never forget this special holiday. Gaya made it even more special by reaching out to the hotel ahead of time and letting them know that it was my mother‘s birthday. Even though my mother did not want to drink the champagne, she was so touched that Gaya had gone the extra step to make her day so special! I look forward to planning many future travels and adventures with Gaya.

The entire experience with Gaya was seamless from start to finish. I literally had to think about nothing except for showing up. I was desperate for an impossible-to-get reservation at a restaurant in the West Village and Gaya had it secured through the hotel’s concierge in less than a day. I will only travel with her assistance from this point on! 10/10.

Gaya gave us options with advice on where to stay and how to spend our time. When we made decisions, like staying at the Rosewood, she negotiated perks for us and booked us the perfect room straight away. It was all done for us. Seamless!

Family Adventure in Moab, Utah
The closest feeling you can have to what it must be like on Mars is going to the Moab area. The scenery is just amazing, and there are tons of fun things to do on a family vacation. For the adventurous family, it’s a perfect road-trip destination hiking is incredible, especially around sunrise and sunset. Moab feels very remote, so you can really disconnect completely.

The Best Places to Stay in Santorini, Greece: My Favorite Hotels in Fira and Oia
Santorini, a Greek island, is known for its unbelievable views, breathtaking sunsets and charming villages. Located in the Aegean Sea, Santorini's unique geography was shaped by a volcanic eruption over 3,000 years ago. This dramatic event created the iconic caldera, a crescent-shaped bay surrounded by towering cliffs, and it is one of the island's most distinguishing features.

Luxury Stays in Lanaʻi, The Most Exclusive Island in Hawaiʻi
Lana'i was the first island I visited in Hawai'i, and it still holds a special place in my heart. Admittedly, I had stayed away from the islands, as I worried they'd be overly touristy like the big island. The island is one of the most underdeveloped islands in Hawai'i — I only remember seeing one traffic light during my time there. Lana'i is very special, it smells different, it looks different, people are so kind and sweet. There are tons of activities to do, like staying at a Four Seasons Resort and snorkeling to hiking the Hulopoe Bay — this Hawaiian island has got it all, but you can also feel like you've disconnected when you're on Lana'i as everything is so remote. Spend your time exploring the island's treasures in this perfect Lanai itinerary.

Unwind in Las Catalinas, Costa Rica
Las Catalinas is a little beautiful coastal town in Costa Rica with gorgeous beaches and incredible views. The people are amazing and super friendly, and are very much focused on preserving the environment. There's a lot going on here to rebuild the reefs, and you can feel the community's commitment to the earth.
