Travel style
I'd want to go out to eat and see local culture firsthand. I enjoy visiting countries where there is always a beach close by, to big metropolitan cities and buildings. I enjoy having choices and embracing each day as it comes to making the most memorable experiences possible. My favorite types of hotels are boutique and apart-hotels. My first stop on any holiday is an espresso at a local cafe.

Samar's reviews
Samar was absolutely amazing. Provided great services on helping us choose the best hotel for me and my husband within our price range. Would highly recommend booking through Samar & in fact will definitely re-book through her for our next time in Europe! Thank you Samar for helping me and my husband have the best time in Paris!

100/10 experience booking my trip with Samar! She really did the most when it came to personalizing my trip and truly listening to what experience I was looking for when searching for hotels and accommodations in both London and Santorini! I cannot wait to utilize her services on my next trip.

Booking was stress free. Samar did all the research and presented vacation options in a thorough table. She followed up with the resort on a regular basis and kept me informed on all the updates. She made sure that the resort staff was well informed on why we were traveling (anniversary) which was manifested by her personalized message in the room upon our arrival.
