My Story

Travel advisor who finds what others miss. With a luxury marketing background spanning two decades and experience coordinating international experiences for top executives, I understand what discerning travelers value: substance over spectacle. I design journeys that balance comfort with discovery.

Travel Style

There are two kinds of luxury in travel: the expected kind—stunning hotels, perfect service, familiar excellence—and the kind that opens your perspective. I specialize in both—and knowing which one you need, when. Whether you're seeking that perfect Greek island or are ready to venture beyond your comfort zone, I create experiences that matter long after you return home.

Maria is a pleasure to work with! She has great taste, really listens, and delivered so many wonderful options that matched what we were looking for. Exceeded all my expectations - I cannot wait to plan our next adventure with Maria!

Booking with Maria made our trip so seamless. We needed a weekend away and she recommended Inness. Inness felt like an insiders secret getaway and her knowledge of the property made it exceptional. We're so glad she recommended the cabin rooms and made sure we made a reservation for dinner at their popular restaurant. She also took care of all our spa bookings and all we had to do was show up and relax. Highly recommend Maria and have her working on our next trip to Iceland!

Maria nailed this trip. It was exactly what we were looking for. Her hotel, vineyard and restaurant recommendations were all top-notch and the entire booking process was seamless. She was very knowledgeable of the area and understood exactly what we were looking for.

Our experience with Maria was excellent. She was responsive, organized, and had an informed point of view which I valued immensely. Maria listened to our wish list and help craft several beautiful itineraries to choose from and offered alternate options we weren’t even considering - I think any of her trip ideas would have been the perfect honeymoon! All of our accommodations were beautiful organized and the staff were so attentive and excited to have Maria’s guests. During our trip, Maria was also responsive and helped during timely instances in our time zones. I highly recommend Maria and I can’t wait to book our next trip with her!
