My Story
Seeing a picture of the Taj Mahal as a young girl was the moment that sparked my passion for what would become a lifelong love affair with travel. I took my first solo international flight to Europe at the age of 17 and have never looked back. I have since been able to visit over 20 countries, including India and Japan and have done extensive travel throughout Europe and North America. When I am not traveling, I am dreaming of travel or travel planning for myself and clients. My passion is to help people, and especially women, discover the joy of travel and the personal growth that occurs with being connected to new places, cultures and ideas. I look forward to curating a dream trip for you!
My Travel Style
I love being immersed in a new culture including discovering the best local cuisine, having off-the-beaten-path adventures and mingling with the locals. Whether exploring a new city or relaxing by the ocean, I am happy as long as there is good food and a comfortable bed at the end of the day!
Stay connected

Sara was amazing! She listened to what we wanted and crafted an itinerary that met all our expectations and budget. Communication was clear and she took all the worry out of trip planning and travel! Incredibly attentive from planning to last minute changes!

I always thought hiring a travel agency wasn’t really necessary… until I met Sara from Trip Connecther — and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. From the very first moment, Sara took care of every single detail with so much love and professionalism. She explained everything so clearly and made the whole planning process effortless and enjoyable.
What started as a simple client–agent relationship quickly blossomed into a true friendship. After so many meetings and conversations, we became so close that we’d look for any excuse just to see each other again. Sara didn’t just organize a trip — she became part of our family.
This journey was a mix of business and pleasure, and by a wonderful coincidence, we landed in Rome on my husband’s birthday. To our absolute surprise, when we arrived at the Hotel Colosseum Garden, there was a beautiful birthday cake and pastries waiting for him — arranged by Sara herself — along with a bottle of wine and a sweet handwritten note from the hotel. It was such a thoughtful and emotional gesture that made the day unforgettable.
Sara also handled an unexpected situation during our trip with such grace and professionalism that it actually turned out even better than planned. She truly went above and beyond in every way.
One of the highlights of our time in Italy was the cooking class at Colle Calendi with Ester and Stefano — two of the kindest souls we’ve ever met. The experience felt like spending an afternoon with family, surrounded by warmth, laughter, and delicious homemade food. And, as if that weren’t enough, they surprised my husband with another birthday cake — a moment we’ll cherish forever.
Our Colosseum tour in Rome was also one of the best experiences we’ve ever had — everything perfectly arranged, insightful, and truly unforgettable.
This entire trip was one of the most beautiful experiences we’ve ever had, and it wouldn’t have been possible without Sara’s dedication, care, and love for what she does. She didn’t just plan a vacation; she created lifelong memories for us.
Thank you, Sara, for your help, your kindness, and above all, your friendship. You have such a special gift for making people feel cared for and seen. I’m beyond grateful for everything you did. And without a doubt, I’ll keep using your services — not only for international travel but also for our next adventures within the country.
If you ever have the chance to work with TripConnectHer, don’t hesitate — Sara will turn your trip into something truly magical.

We told Sara we wanted a castle stay and a castle stay we got! Ballyseede is gorgeous and so hospitable. Sara recommended we have the high tea and it was indeed a wonderful experience. Thank you Sara for the recommendation and reservations.
