My Story
A luxury travel advisor who plans every trip like it’s her own—obsessing over every detail so you don’t have to.
Travel Style
There's nothing I love more than discovering a beautiful hotel, an unforgettable meal, or an experience I never expected—and then helping someone else have that same moment. I travel as much as I can, and I pour what I learn into every itinerary I plan, whether it's a first-timer's trip to Japan or a bucket-list African safari. I love a stunning luxury property, but I'm just as excited about the stuff in between—the sound of cars on a Formula 1 weekend, a Bake Off-inspired baking class, ice karting through a frozen track, or a quiet morning on a safari game drive. Having lived in both New York and Los Angeles, I know the pull of a buzzing big city just as much as the need to disappear somewhere restorative for a few days, and I love designing trips that balance both. When it comes to the planning itself, I'm analytical by nature—I’ll compare every option and weigh every trade-off so you never have to wonder if there was something better.

Patricia was the best. Anytime I plan a trip to NYC, it feels like my Super Bowl, but since this one was for my birthday, I figured I’d let someone else help with the accommodations. Enter Patricia.
She was incredibly helpful and flexible, working within my budget while still hitting everything I wanted. She also set clear expectations from the start. I had never worked with a travel agent before and literally found Fora on Instagram, so I was a little skeptical about how it would turn out. Patricia quickly put that to rest. She was professional, attentive, and made everything come together seamlessly.
She alerted me when there was an opportunity for a better deal, handled upgrades, and did so much behind the scenes that I probably didn’t even realize at the time, but am extremely grateful for now. Patricia didn’t just make booking the trip easy, she made the entire experience more memorable.
I’m already looking forward to booking my next trip (and the next, and the next) with Patricia, because I know it’s going to be incredible.

Patricia helped me plan my trip to Guangzhou. She seemed very familiar with Guangzhou and China generally and was able to provide good food and activity recommendations. I also wanted to stay at a Hyatt property because I have the Hyatt credit card, so she took that into consideration and booked me a great rate at the Park Hyatt. The booking also came with nice upgrade and hotel credit, which we were able to use at the hotel’s michelin rated restaurant. Super helpful, thanks Patricia!

Patricia is so helpful! I just need to give her a few requirements and she finds all the best options for me without me needing to think about it. Most times they're better deals than what I find online too, so I just book all my travel through her now.
She also speaks Chinese/Mandarin so she helps my parents book too!

Patricia has been amazing to work with. She helped me book the Hyatt Centric Kanazawa and has been planning our upcoming honeymoon safari trip with so much care and attention.
She’s incredibly responsive and detail-oriented, always putting her clients first to make sure we get the best experience and deals. I really appreciate how honest and trustworthy she is — she walked us through the pros and cons of different options and never made us feel rushed.
Throughout the process, Patricia kept me updated and made everything feel effortless. I never had to do extra research or chase down information myself. She’s also been flexible and happy to make changes whenever our needs shifted.
Overall, Patricia made what could’ve been a stressful process easy and enjoyable. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for thoughtful, reliable travel planning help.

Patricia helped plan and book a trip to Portugal for me and my mom. She was thoughtful, detailed, and responsive, always willing to discuss options to find me the best deal. She was not only knowledgeable about the hotels I wanted to book, she also knew a lot about the cities I was visiting and was able to recommend day trips, activities, and other experiences that all turned out to be wonderful. She was constantly monitoring hotel prices, and in multiple cases, helped me find and book the best rate that even came with a room upgrade which my mom and I really appreciated. You can tell she's well-traveled and takes the advisory part of her job seriously. Ultimately it was her advice about where to stay and what to do that made our trip so great. 10/10 would highly recommend Patricia's services.
