Our 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!
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 was fantastic to work with and played a big role in making this trip such a success. He took the time to understand what I was looking for and recommended The Lodge Mallorca, which turned out to be a perfect fit.
His communication was excellent, the planning process was seamless, and I felt well taken care of from start to finish. What impressed me most was how thoughtfully he matched the destination to my travel style.
It’s clear that Riker genuinely cares about his clients’ experiences and doesn’t just book trips; he helps create memorable ones. I would gladly work with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for personalized, knowledgeable travel advice.

Riker helped us plan an incredible honeymoon down to every last detail! He was easy to work with and was very attentive to every detail and helped adjust hotels based on our budget. The accommodations, and all of the activities planned were amazing! Riker and the team in Thailand helped the trip run smoothly and stress free for us. We highly recommend working with Riker and can't thank him enough for such an amazing trip!

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.
