About
Whether you're visiting one of the 68 countries I've been to, or looking for an immersive luxury lodge, I'd love to learn about your interests and brainstorm some destinations. Maybe a European staple, or somewhere you've never even heard of!
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 kept me updated about any changes and ended up saving me over one hundred dollars by rebooking when the price dropped. Her services are worth using for even a short weekend trip!

Lily is thorough in her approach and provides all of the information needed for the trip. During the trip as well, we knew we could reach out with any needs, but she had thought of everything prior to our arrival.

I have planned many group trips in my day and this was absolutely the easiest by far thanks to Lily! We had a group of 14 and she made the entire experience incredibly seamless. She compiled the list of everyone's flights and reservations, booked group and individual airport transfers each way, provided various options of private excursions for us to visit the Tulum ruins and swim in a cenote, and arranged everyone's rooms to be in the same wing of the hotel. If you need help planning a trip I 10000% recommend working with Lily!!! We were even able to upgrade to the Presidential Suite thanks to her notifying us the prices on our reservations had dropped.

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!
