My Story
My love of travel began at 15 on a five-week European adventure with my grandparents—and I’ve been hooked ever since. From luxury stays at the Four Seasons to unforgettable journeys on a shoestring budget, I’ve experienced travel from every angle. Today, as a boutique travel advisor, I design custom, memory-making trips for families and travelers who want more than just a vacation—blending European charm with Southern California ease. Whether it’s a multigenerational cruise, a beachfront villa, a road trip around Europe, or an off-the-beaten-path escape in Thailand, I create seamless journeys that become the stories you tell for years to come.
Travel Style
My travel style blends thoughtful planning with effortless flow. I carefully consider how a trip unfolds—from flight timing and neighborhood walkability to the pace of each day—so you can be fully present once you arrive. I pair standout stays with authentic, local experiences that go beyond the obvious, all while being mindful of the budget. I believe the best trips give you the time and space to truly experience a destination, making magical memories possible for everyone, regardless of price point.

Working with Marcy to plan our family’s 10-day trip to Portugal was an incredible experience from start to finish. She brought both firsthand knowledge of Portugal and the perspective of traveling with a child, which made a huge difference in how thoughtfully everything was planned.
Marcy really listened to what we wanted—our budget, interests, and travel style—and turned that into a seamless itinerary. She found us beautiful, well-located hotels in the historic centers of Lisbon, Coimbra, and Porto that we absolutely loved. She also took care of key logistics like our rental car and helped us choose activities that were engaging for both adults and our child.
What stood out most was how easy she made the entire process. Planning a multi-city international trip can feel overwhelming, but Marcy handled the details so we didn’t have to. Once we arrived, everything just worked—and we were able to fully relax and enjoy our time together as a family.
We had an amazing trip and are so grateful for Marcy’s expertise, care, and attention to detail. I would highly recommend her to anyone planning a trip, especially families.

Marcy went above and beyond to explain everything about the trip and put together an informational packet for us. When we had a last-minute change, she was instantly reachable and spend hours figuring out a solution for us. She was an absolute dream to deal with!

Marcy was a fantastic booking agent! She went above and beyond to help us find a last minute resort that had everything we were looking for - pools for the kids, some thing active for us adults, and a hotel room that was more suite than just a bed with a sofa pull out. She gave us multiple options and worked with us to find just the right resort location that was in our price range and in our driving distance to make our vacation doable! It was such a help to have someone like Marcy working with us to make this trip happen!

Working with Marcy was FANTASTIC. She clearly communicated all my options and found a great rate at my hotel of choice. Booking with her also saved me hundreds of dollars! Marcy has a true love of travel and has been all around the world, which really made me trust her taste and judgement. While traveling, I unexpectedly thought I had to cut my trip short. I reached out to Marcy who replied quickly and was happy to jump in and find a solution that would work in my favor. It was so comforting to have someone working in my best interest. In the end, everything worked out and I now know who to call for all my future travel needs. Marcy is the absolute best!
