Profile details
About
Apparently I have the wanderlust gene — says my husband (I guess it's an actual thing!). I'm a former single-world-traveler that's turned passionate about trips for two (think romantic honeymoons and mini moons!). Founder and owner of Maps & Espresso.
Travel style
After calling three other countries "home" in the last 1.5 decades, I am forever blessed (or "cursed" depending on how you look at it!) with the wanderlust gene. Because of this, my travels tend to be immersive, approachable and thoughtfully curated — with a hint of boutique luxury thrown in. I love to create itineraries with intentional activities at each destination — but to never overbook. I always leave room for exploring, spontaneous opportunities to meet people and space to process it all (think morning espressos at a cafe or an evening glass of local wine on your balcony).
In the last several years, I've shifted from being the single-world traveler to traveling with my partner/spouse/husband. We've hit eight countries in the last four years. I would LOVE to help you plan your honeymoon, minimoon, other romantic trip — or any trip for two!

Hannah's reviews
Hannah planned the perfect two-week family trip to Japan, thoughtfully tailoring every detail to our family’s diverse interests. She took the time to really understand what each of us would enjoy, and her research led us to incredible experiences like an immersive museum, a monkey sanctuary, and even a hands-on samurai experience. Even while being mindful of our budget, she managed to pack the trip with unforgettable moments that kept everyone engaged. The easy-to-follow itinerary she created became our go-to guide and made navigating a new country feel effortless. What started as a trip we were a little nervous about became the adventure of a lifetime, thanks to Hannah’s care, insight, and expertise
