My Story
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to exploring new cultures, landscapes, and cuisines. I travel to immerse myself in places and spaces that renew my sense of awe in the world and to create memories I’m thinking about long after the flight home. I’m passionate about finding fresh ways to explore iconic sights without the crowds and uncovering the hidden culinary treasures that make a destination truly unique.
Travel Style
I love the researching and planning part of the trip—where I get to think about how I want to feel, experiences I'd like to have, and discovering the hidden corners of a place tourists sometimes miss. I design custom itineraries that help take the stress out of planning so you can fully focus on enjoying every moment of your travel experience.
Whether it’s a weekend escape packed with highlights or a multi-week bucket-list adventure, I create journeys that balance activity with rest, so travel feels both fulfilling and restorative. From thoughtful recommendations to expert insights, let me help transform your ideas into unforgettable travel experiences—blending adventure, authenticity, and the indulgence of luxury amenities. I specialize in planning for couples and multi-generations, adventure travel, cruises to less traditional destinations, and those once-in-a-lifetime bucket list trips.
Let’s work together to curate an elevated travel experience that’s tailored to you!

Samantha was amazing to work with from start to finish. She provided recommendations to optimize our short 4 days in Mexico City and her itinerary hit all the top spots without us feeling overwhelmed. She was responsive and took care of every detail. She even managed to get us an upgraded room on arrival and the included breakfast at our hotel ensured our mornings started smoothly. She took into consideration my love of learning (museums and art galleries), my passion for good food (reservations at Michelin-starred restaurants and an 'backstreets' immersive food tour), and my desire to walk neighbourhoods and use public transit. This was my best experience working with a travel advisor and I'll definitely be getting Sam to help me with future trips!

Sam was great to work with. She found a great boutique hotel in Victoria, BC for our stay over New Years, provided us with recommendations of what to see in the area and also managed to get our room upgraded, which was a delight. Communication was smooth, and I look forward to booking travel with her again soon!

Explore the Highlights of Kyoto in 4 Days
Kyoto is a city of juxtapositions, and it is the perfect way to slow down and experience a different side of Japan after a few days in Tokyo. There is so much to explore. From world-class omakase to humble ramen, busy temples to quiet traditional alleys, Kyoto is a wonder for the senses. Wander the streets of Gion to be transported back in time. Glimpse a geisha and sip a whisky sour in one of Kyoto’s boutique whisky bars or wander plentiful temple complexes and experience a traditional tea ceremony. If you love matcha, Kyoto has a dazzling array of options, and if you really want to geek out, take a short train ride to Uji, where you can taste the region’s premium and highly esteemed Japanese green tea.
