Travel style
After traveling for many years, planning a lot of complicated vacations and being a guest of some of the most outstanding properties around the world, as I am a little obsessed with good hotels, I became a travel advisor out of passion and I truly understand the guest’s point of view. With my expertise, I can not only help you book, but truly advise you and tailor your best itinerary at the best possible rates. I like to call it “smart booking". My travel style… I would say I value both comfort and authenticity, and I know how to pick those places where little touches make a big difference. Not just a traveler, but a dedicated foodie who believes in indulging in culinary experiences, from the delicate creations of Michelin-starred chefs to the strong flavours of local eateries, I believe that food is a gateway to understanding a culture. So I am also happy to help you plan your “culinary“ itinerary and book restaurants.

Monica is a very thoughtful travel advisor, prompt in communication and with good expertise in South of France; from the hotel she recommended, which was a hidden gem, to the restaurants and places to visit, she helped us put up an itinerary that made our vacation perfect. Can’t wait to book our next vacation with her!

Monica was exceptional! Her hotel recommendations were incredible. She was so patient and detail-oriented throughout the planning and booking process. We especially appreciated her thoughtful note upon arrival and all of the booking perks (i.e., $100 credit, upgrades, welcome treat) we received during our stay given her Elite status. Thank you so much Monica.
