My Story
I’m Maria Herrera, travel designer and retreat group travel strategist—where purposeful travel meets timeless style. I curate boutique, sustainable experiences and retreats across the Mediterranean and Latin America, and occasional global requests, helping travelers and businesses create moments that inspire, connect, and transform.
Travel Style
My travel style is intentional, soulful, and adventurous—a perfect balance between slow exploration and active discovery. I love immersing myself in local life, finding the little restaurants only locals know, and connecting with artisans whose craft tells a story. My journeys blend wellness, culture, and gastronomy with moments of rest and reflection—staying in boutique properties, savoring meaningful experiences, and always traveling in a way that feels mindful, connected, and life-giving.

Maria Herrera was an exceptional travel advisor. From our first conversation, her in-depth knowledge of Amsterdam, a city she's visited several times due to her family ties, was evident. While her specialty lies in curating retreats and group experiences, she went above and beyond to assist me with booking my stay for a work convention. Not only did she help with accommodations, but she also provided valuable recommendations on places to visit and dine. I wholeheartedly recommend Maria; her expertise and attention to detail are truly commendable.

Maria was incredibly thoughtful and attentive to my needs, assisting me in planning this vacation getaway with my husband. She maintained clear communication from our initial conversation when we agreed to work together, throughout our time there with dining recommendations, and even followed up after our return. Her expertise on Greece and the logistics to Crete were invaluable.

Boutique Hotel Bliss in Palm Desert: Crafting Memorable Escapes for Adventurous Couples Who Love Fine Dining
I recently had the incredible opportunity to explore the enchanting Sands Hotel & Spa, situated in the serene surroundings of Palm Desert, CA. As a passionate luxury travel planner and adventure and culinary enthusiast, this journey was fun as my husband and I headed that way day trip and brunch. What made this experience truly exceptional was the unique opportunity to sight-visit a boutique hotel I had previously curated a customized itinerary for my clients, individuals who share a profound passion for adventurous activities, gourmet dining and the desire for a romantic weekend getaway.
