Profile details
About
Both a super-luxe and a "wow, I discovered the greatest pensione for $250/night" type of traveler. I discover off-the-beaten-path spots from designer-owned boutique hotels to over-the-top luxury properties. I create fully customized itineraries to enhance your travel experience. I also collaborate with corporate partners and help to create destination events (domestic and overseas).
Travel style
A global traveler with a taste for quiet poolside naps balanced by museum visits, cooking classes and boat excursions. I value an easy day relaxing and reading in a tranquil space as much as a day with a private guide visiting a private museum. I love to get lost in small towns and wander to discover special boutiques and eateries. No plans — "il dolce far niente" (the sweetness of doing nothing). No matter what, my day always starts with a fantastic breakfast spread!

Rebecca's reviews
Becca was terrific about offering options and suggestions for the trip. Never pushed us to do more than we wanted and managed to get us terrific rates on the rooms we wanted where we wanted. We did ask questions and she answered them with skill. If she didn’t know the answer she researched it. Totally trusted her and it was the right decision.
