Travel style

Always looking for the next luxury lodge, the only places I am able to fully relax on vacation. From the second I walk in the door, I know I can shut down my brain and take a deep breath. These lodges specialize in providing their guests with cultural connection, comfort, camaraderie and world-class cuisine. Only have a few days to travel? No problem — another niche of mine is international long weekend trips. Whether you need one because of limited corporate vacation days or a baby waiting for you at home, let me suggest a new country where you can fully break free of your routine for a few days.

Lily's reviews

Lily was amazing to work with and played a big part in helping plan a visit to Paris for our girls' trip! Her love for travel really showed as she gave us so many amazing tips on must-see spots and must-try eats. Thanks to her recommendation, we visited a restaurant that served the best meal of our whole trip! Lily didn’t just stop at giving advice. She made everything smooth, including letting us know and rebooking when she found a better rate for our hotel. She answered all my questions and provided options and insight that were so helpful in decision-making, especially for someone who doesn’t travel often. If you’re thinking about getting some help with travel planning, I highly recommend Lily!

5+ stars, highly recommend Lily to anyone & everyone! I am an avid traveler that typically likes to do all the planning & booking myself, so to be honest I was a little leery of booking through an agent. My family decided to take my 85-year-old grandfather to his dream destination (Egypt), and I just didn’t have the time to sit down and plan like I usually do. I have been following Lily on Instagram for years and always enjoyed what she shared about her adventures, so I turned to her for help. Lily went above and beyond to make sure this trip of a lifetime became a reality! My biggest concern was having a ‘cookie cutter’ trip where we were carted on and off big buses, or an agent that only read about my travel destination. Instead, we had private guides that Lily personally toured with, stayed at an incredible mix of hotels and received top-quality service from everyone we worked with. Lily was professional, responsive and gave us lots of tips & feedback both during booking and before we departed. Obviously, we are all completely satisfied and so grateful for her help! We will hold onto the memories of this trip with my grandfather forever! Thank you Lily.

Lily was amazing! It felt like such a personal experience — she started her search by asking what our perfect vacation looks like and what we find to be important when looking for lodging. I loved the layout of the proposal she sent and she provided valuable information about some of the different areas in Seoul. We were traveling with 10 people, including children, and she sent several hotel options with various price points and room layouts, knowing that we had specific wants on the area and that the kids in the group needed to be in rooms by their parents. Lily worked on every detail directly with the hotel, made sure our 4 rooms were on the same floor, and even followed up before our trip to confirm everything was in place. Lily made what is usually the most stressful aspect of a trip so easy! I will definitely be seeking Lily's assistance for future travel.

Our experience working with Lily was fantastic from start to finish. She was communicative, really listened to our tailored trip requests, and found amazing places in our budget. I can't recommend her enough, and will most certainly be working with her again on our future trips. Thank you, Lily!!
