My Story

I can’t imagine a life without travel. Experiencing new places and cultures is what keeps me inspired—and I’m doing my best to experience them all while sharing that love of travel with my children. My background is in interior architecture and design, and that’s shaped how I see the world. I love how a hotel’s design can instantly whisk you away—how the textures, details, and atmosphere tell a story about where you are. Now I get to blend that design eye with my passion for travel, helping clients craft experiences that feel both beautiful and personal. I’m drawn to hidden-gem hotels with unique design and a real sense of place—the kind that connect you to the destination the moment you arrive. I love pairing design-led stays with authentic local experiences so every trip feels layered, memorable, and full of character.

My Travel Style

I love settling into neighborhoods that feel alive—with local restaurants, cafés, boutique shops, and markets to explore. A hotel with thoughtful design and a strong sense of place always wins me over. I like to have a loose plan but never over-schedule. The best moments often come from leaving space to wander, discover, and see where the day leads.

Sarah was AMAZING to work with! From start to finish she made sure our Honeymoon was perfect! We cannot wait to work with Sarah again for future vacations!

Sarah was very intune with what we wanted and needed in our holiday. All her suggestions were spot on and we had the best time. Sarah always got back to us with any of our concerns answered promptly. We wouldn’t hesitate to refer Sarah to anyone wanting help with their holiday plans and we’ll definitely be using her services again next year. Thanks again.

Sarah was incredible throughout the entire process of planning and booking this (and all) accommodation. When my train suffered a major delay, Sarah called the hotel to ensure I could check in without any issues when I arrived after midnight. Sarah sent suggestions for things to do, see and eat in the Faena neighborhood and surrounds. I loved my time in Miami and will definitely be back!

Sarah is quite easily the best travel agent we have ever used in our 20+ years of travel and will continue to use her for every trip moving forward. She is extremely diligent, prompt, caring and passionate about her work. I could not recommend Sarah anymore highly — 10 stars and then some. Thanks again for making this special around the world trip a memorable one for our family Sarah!
