My Story
Someone who knows firsthand how travel keeps love, joy, and connection alive through iconic hotels and local gems that blend culture, flavor, and adventure.
Travel Style
My love of travel started young, moving between countries and falling for the beautiful differences in food, traditions, and culture. It grew deeper during a seven-year long-distance relationship, those trips were more than reunions. They were heart-building memories we still get lost in. I bring together my passion for one-of-a-kind experiences with an eye for aesthetic-focused stays, creating thoughtfully tailored trips and hotel bookings. For me, the best journeys blend a touch of adventure, a dose of culture, moments of relaxation, and luxury.

Working with Joelle honestly made things so much easier. I wasn’t exactly sure where to stay in Istanbul, and she recommended Rixos Tersane, it ended up being such a good choice.
The hotel is really beautiful and feels new and well thought out. The location along the water gives it a different vibe from the usual busy areas, which I actually really liked. The room was super comfortable and always clean, and the staff were friendly and helpful the whole time.
What made the biggest difference was not having to overthink everything. Joelle just got what I was looking for and handled it, which saved me a lot of time and stress. I’d definitely go through her again for future trips.

Working with Joelle was a great experience!! She made thoughtful suggestions, was easy to communicate with, and helped me find a hotel I wouldn’t have found on my own and ended up loving.

Joelle Abass was recommended to us by a friend, and we’re so glad we worked with her. We explained that we only had one night and wanted a hotel with a great location and views, and she delivered exactly that. She was also very helpful with restaurant recommendations and places to visit, which made our short stay really enjoyable. We would definitely book with her again for a longer experience.
