Our Story
California-born, Europe-based. I’ve spent the last 20 years living abroad—mostly in Spain—and have explored over 80 countries along the way. Because I’ve personally been to most of the places I plan, I design trips that go beyond the obvious—built around how you actually like to travel.
Travel Style
I believe a great trip should move you—literally. Ancient trails, long runs, remote landscapes. And then a hotel with a story, an onsen, the wine, the meal you’ll talk about for years. That’s the balance I build every trip around.

Everything on the trip went very smoothly, and we were so excited by the special wishes and touches you set up for us. Each location and hotel was a dream in its own unique way, with the variety of city, large estate, and cliff-side/beach. All of the restaurants were lovely with Zass and La Veccia Lira as our faves. I’m also glad to have had such kind and professional drivers from each location to allow us to take in the sights and not stress about traffic.
Again, really appreciate your help planning on this trip, it was super memorable for us, and we can’t wait for the next one!

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.
