My Story
A very detailed and organized travel planner. Based in New Jersey with a love of exploring new destinations.
My Travel Style
You can usually find me learning about what makes that city so unique and fully immersing myself in the culture and history. Although, I usually have a full day of exploration planned, I still find time to sit and relax with a glass of wine and enjoy delicious cuisine.
I love travel that is full of learning but also enjoy relaxing vacations on the beach.

This is now the third time we have worked with Marina and she is simply the best. When we had the issue with the overflowing shower she responded within a minute and had it handled in 5. She’s so fast and responsive we were absolutely blown away. We loved our hotel and even more so the location. Thank you as always for your hard work.

Marina Efros is an amazing travel agent who truly listens to her clients’ wishes and needs. She helped us choose a hotel that met all our requirements — and there were quite a few! Many of the websites Marina recommended were incredibly helpful, and we used them throughout our trip.
Thanks to her, we booked a fantastic bus tour, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Marina stayed in regular contact with us to make sure everything was going smoothly and matched what we had planned. At our request, she even coordinated with the hotel ahead of time, so everything was perfectly arranged by the time we arrived.
It was an absolute pleasure working with her. We will definitely reach out to her again for our future trips. Thank you so much for an unforgettable vacation — it would have been so much more difficult without Marina’s help!

Marina was attentive throughout the process, always timely and super fast to respond, which made the planning process so easy. One of the best parts was the resort she found for us - it hadn’t even opened yet when she booked it, and it turned out to be absolutely amazing. She also gave us great recommendations for how to experience the island.
