Hannah is unbelievably good at her job. She’s so helpful. I have booked with her two ways, once doing a full itinerary and once just doing a hotel booking, both went so smoothly. It takes such a weight off my shoulders as a busy professional. She’s also so caring about what she does and very passionate. Five stars for sure.

Working with Hannah as our travel agent was an absolute dream. From start to finish, she made the entire process effortless for us. She told us exactly which flights to book, handled our accommodations, made all of our dinner reservations, reserved kayaks, and even took care of our rental car. Truly, all we had to do was show up and enjoy our trip. Hannah’s attention to detail and organization took away all the stress that usually comes with planning a big trip. Everything was seamless, and it was clear how much care and expertise she puts into her work. Because of her, we were able to fully relax and enjoy every moment without worrying about logistics.
I will 10 out of 10 be working with Hannah again for every future big trip my husband and I decide to take. In fact, I think I’ll be giving her even more control over planning next time because she does that amazing of a job.

Hannah is quick to respond and problem solve if necessary. I’m also terrible at remembering anything and she sends wonderful reminder emails that are a saving grace!!

It’s so great to have an advisor we can rely on for everything: the next steps, the ease, the details, and the accessibility. I can just call and get any question answered, from what days there’s a special event to what I should wear and how to plan my clothing options, etc.

Two Week Road Trip in Northern Italy
Sometimes it seems Rome and Florence get all the Italian "amore." Sure, there is the timeless allure of Rome and Sicily, effortlessly captivating hearts with their romantic charm for centuries. But amidst their spotlight, Northern Italy quietly awaits in the shadows, brimming with its own treasures. From masterpieces of art to the vast expanse of the world's largest alpine meadow, from meandering canals to the soul-stirring Prosecco countryside, there's a wealth of experiences waiting to be discovered. Many of these spots require access to a rental car, so go get that international driver's license and get ready for an unforgettable Italian road trip.

Ultimate Napa Valley Travel Guide by Your Favorite Wine-Explorer
As someone who has called Northern California home for years, I’ve had the privilege of exploring Napa Valley’s breathtaking landscapes, world-class wines and hidden gems. Over the years, I’ve come to learn that Napa is so much more than a region famous for its vines — it’s a place that nourishes the soul. Whether I’m sipping a glass of wine with a view of rolling hills, savoring a meal sourced directly from a local farm or simply relaxing in a spa that feels a million miles away from the everyday, Napa is a place that always rejuvenates me.

Spring Break at The Seabird Resort
Spring Break 2024, I (along with 15 family members!) visited Oceanside’s fairly new “The Seabird” resort and it exceeded my expectations immensely. It has been a couple years since I visited Oceanside (where we had then stayed in an older Airbnb) and I had NO idea it was so up and coming! A large portion of Oceanside’s renovation has to do with these two new hotels, situated in prime position, across the street from the Oceanside Pier. The town has such a great variety of restaurants, boutiques and charm now.

North Lake Tahoe Ski-Week
Whether you’ve decided to sit in freeway traffic from the Bay Area, or you are flying in from another destination, Lake Tahoe (and surrounding area) is the perfect destination for your family over that oh-so-random week in February your children have off from school. Ski Week, typically mid-February, provides a break to enjoy mountain towns, slopes, and trade traditional school for “ski-school.” So load up your equipment (or plan to rent) and pack your ski-bibs, and enjoy the best spots in North Lake Tahoe.
