With over 80 countries explored and 15 years living in Europe, I’ve cultivated a talent for designing bespoke itineraries that seamlessly blend luxury with authenticity.

Marisa made the perfect ending to my 10-day Vietnam trip unforgettable! Zannier was incredible, and thanks to her, I enjoyed a massive upgrade to a stunning pool villa. Her expertise and connections truly elevated the experience.

Marisa once again delivered a flawless, 10/10 experience. I wanted a stay that balanced comfort and style within the vibrant energy of Saigon, and she curated the perfect blend of luxury and authenticity. My hotel was an oasis of elegance, yet I never felt removed from the city’s incredible local culture—thanks to her expert recommendations for outstanding eateries and bars. She even suggested a local spa where I had the best manicure of my life—my nails were treated like true works of art! What truly sets Marisa apart are the thoughtful, personal touches. She informed the hotel that I was celebrating my 40th birthday, and I was met with beautiful surprises, including a delicious cake, wine, and an exclusive spa offer. She also made navigating my next destination effortless, ensuring everything was seamless and stress-free—all while securing an incredible value. Marisa’s expertise, attention to detail, and genuine care make every trip unforgettable!

Marisa suggested Amanpulo for the final leg of an Asian Itinerary and wow! This is one of the top 3 hotels I have ever stayed in. She really knows exactly where to send her clients and gets us the best rooms!

Marisa once again proved her exceptional expertise and dedication. I regret not following her initial recommendation on where to stay—lesson learned! Despite my choice, she seamlessly handled my booking and went above and beyond to liaise with the hotel staff to address the inconveniences I encountered. Her meticulously crafted itinerary was absolutely spot-on, guiding me to the most authentic and memorable experiences while skillfully steering me away from tourist traps. Her professionalism, insight, and unwavering commitment to her clients make her an invaluable travel advisor.
