My Story
Curious and intrepid travel researcher and itinerary builder. I'm not sure if I enjoy planning travel or taking advantage of a well-planned trip more!
My Travel Style
I have a very versatile travel style and am just as comfortable summiting Mt. Kilimanjaro as I am indulging at a luxury resort in the Maldives or meandering the streets of Lisbon in search of the cutest cafe or tastiest restaurant. For me, travel is all about the connection and experiences you're able to make with old friends and locals alike.

Riker is truly something special! This was my second booking with him and he continues to blow it out of the water every time. He's organized, thoughtful, remembers the little things and suggests all the right things. He has yet to steer me wrong and has truly alleviated all the pain points that comes with planning a trip. Truly the best!

Riker was flexible and accommodated my budget. Planning my trip felt easy and effortless. Riker followed up with me consistently and kept me up to date with any information that I needed. I didn’t have to do much of anything other than pack my bags and have a great time. I loved all the recommendations for dinner, tours, and hotels. Everything was spot on. I can’t wait to plan another vacation!

Riker was outstanding from start to finish. He planned my trip to Istanbul and Croatia with total professionalism and care. He was always available, incredibly knowledgeable, and just a joy to work with. Everything went smoothly, and I felt completely supported the entire way. I look forward to planning future adventures with him and recommend him wholeheartedly!

Roses and Red - Wellness Retreat in Morocco: A Captivating Journey of Cultural Immersion and Serenity
In Spring 2022, Samira led a small group on a yoga, wellness and culture retreat to Marrakech and the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. The trip was perfectly curated, featuring the perfect blend of physical, cultural, architectural and culinary activities. I would highly recommend this trip for anyone interested in blending international travel with yoga and wellness.

Unparalleled Luxury in the Maldives: Soneva Fushi and Jani
In March 2023, five friends and I went to Soneva Jani and Soneva Fushi to celebrate two of our 30th birthdays. We had an absolutely magical time with incredible “barefoot guardians” who welcomed us to each resort and helped us with whatever we needed during our stay. I wouldn’t just stay at both resorts again, but I would live there if I could! I highly recommend both to any client considering booking.
