My goal is to make life’s most meaningful milestones feel effortless and unforgettable. I gravitate toward luxury experiences that blend relaxation, romance, and a touch of adventure, from iconic dream destinations to hidden gems that invite you to slow down, indulge, and truly connect.

I can’t recommend this travel agent highly enough! She was absolutely amazing from start to finish and went above and beyond to make everything seamless. The flights were perfectly arranged and completely stress-free, and the hotel she booked was incredible—comfortable, well-located, and better than I could have imagined.
What truly set her apart was how accommodating, attentive, and responsive she was throughout the entire process. Every question was answered quickly, every request was handled with care, and it genuinely felt like she had my best interests in mind. Thanks to her expertise and attention to detail, my trip was smooth, enjoyable, and totally worry-free. I will absolutely be using her services again and recommending her to everyone I know!

Megan is an absolutely amazing travel advisor!! This addition to our honeymoon was a little impromptu for us, but Megan did an excellent job of providing us with options for hotels, activities, restaurants, and anything else we could possibly think of. I think a few things that totally separate Megan from other travel agents are her incredible communication skills, her attention to detail, and the quality of service we received while actually traveling. For instance, Megan helped us to choose the Ritz by compiling a thorough list of alternative hotels and the associated perks or benefits/drawbacks in terms of prices, locations, etc. which showed that the Ritz was absolutely the best option for both the luxury and cost. When we decided to book, she asked detailed questions about what we wanted to do while we were there and communicated (without our knowledge) our preferences in wine and whatnot to the hotel directly, so we were greeted with custom tailored welcome amenities and an experience that was beyond anything we've ever received at any hotel before! My wife and I don't really drink champagne, so we were surprised to find that Megan arranged for us to receive a congratulatory cake and red wine instead. Megan was thorough in her research of the area and provided tons of options for activities without being overwhelming since she got to know us well and had a keen sense of what my wife and I would like to do during our stay. I highly recommend Megan as a travel advisor, and will be using her services for all future trips!

Amazing hotel and location pick by Megan. I was so overwhelmed with what location to stay in for my return leg in Tokyo. Megan was thoughtful with her location recommendation in Ginza, which perfectly balanced my prior nights in Shibuya. She even anticipated more shopping happening in this neighborhood so I didn’t have to lug around my souvenirs for longer than necessary!

Megan was the absolute best person to have plan my first trip to Japan! I’ve traveled extensively internationally and this was my first time using a travel advisor; I recommend Megan wholeheartedly!!! She was a breeze to work with and made my trip special top to bottom. Megan was thoughtful and diligent with every aspect of planning. She worked within my budget and presented me with the best options while taking into consideration my personal preferences. The hotels she picked for me were centrally-located, clean, and comfortable. She made a thoughtful list of top activities within the cities I was visiting and made sure my experience was well-rounded. I was eager to experience local culture, cuisine, and activities; Megan made sure to outline my time to do just that. The activities she recommended splurging on were unforgettable and highlights of my trip.
Megan’s work as an advisor is unique in how much she personally invested in my experience. Her dedication was clear through her thoughtfulness at every part of the trip from ground travel/luggage logistics to lists of local foods to not miss. She helped me find amazing shops to purchase souvenirs and my loved ones couldn’t be happier! I cannot imagine a better person to have planned this unforgettable experience. I am excited to continue to work with Megan for all of my future travel and will recommend her to enthusiastically to anyone who will listen!

A First Timer's Guide to Tokyo
I fell in love with Japan the moment I arrived. The precision and modern energy of Tokyo instantly drew me in, while centuries-old traditions and historic sites sit just steps from its bustling streets. Some of the best meals I’ve ever had were simple bites under $5, followed the next night by a Michelin-star kaiseki dinner—the contrast is what makes Japan so uniquely special. After just a few days there, I was already planning my next trip.
