My Story
I don't just plan trips—I live them first, so I can guide you later.
Hi! My name is Sarah, and if there's a boarding pass involved, I'm already excited. I was born and raised in Tampa, Florida, but the world was always part of my story. My dad is from the U.S., and my mom is from just north of Antwerp in Belgium. With almost my entire family overseas, international travel wasn't just a vacation; it was woven into my identity.
At the same time, growing up in Florida with strong Latin influences sparked a strong desire to connect with Latin America and learn Spanish and Portuguese. I've always considered myself a citizen of the world. Not in a cliché way, but in a "drop me anywhere and I'm confident I'll figure it out" way.
Over the years, I've explored all continents, 91 UN countries, and 19 other territories and dependencies. Most of those adventures? Solo. I've navigated border crossings alone, rented cars on six continents, taken overnight buses and trains, figured out confusing transit systems, rerouted flights, overcome injuries and illnesses in hospitals, and handled all the unexpected myself.
People always ask how I ended up knowing so many people in different countries. Honestly? I stay curious. I talk to locals. I accept invitations when it feels right. I thoughtfully and safely say yes to experiences, and that's where the magic tends to happen! Those moments are what turn a trip into a long-lasting travel memory.
I'm not just a vacationer or traveler. I'm an adventurer and an explorer now, so I can be your Travel Agent and Experience Curator later.
I studied at Northeastern University in Boston through a co-op internship program that sent me to live and work in Seville (ES), Boston, and New York. I studied abroad in London and Rio de Janeiro. Now I'm in Australia on a working holiday visa. Not just to visit, but to really experience everything this large country has to offer. To live it, figure it out, learn the ins and outs, and keep expanding my understanding of the world so I can guide others from real experience.
Somewhere along the way, I realized this isn't just something I love. It's my calling. I genuinely want people to experience travel the way I have, whether that's celebrating a milestone, planning a honeymoon, gathering for a reunion, taking a bold solo adventure, escaping into something glamorous, simply taking a vacation to enjoy life, or even booking a trip to breathe again and move through a season of grief.
Travel can be relaxing.
It can be an adventure.
It can be healing.
That's why I handle the details. The research. The timing. The logistics. The back-and-forth. The "what if" planning... So you don't have to!
Whether you need a simple hotel and flight or a fully designed, layered, once-in-a-lifetime itinerary, I can be as involved or as hands-off as you'd like. You show up ready to enjoy, and I'll handle the rest.
Let's plan something you'll still be talking about years from now!
Travel Style
My travel style is about as diverse as it gets. I've experienced everything from white-glove luxury stays and fine dining to backpacking through places like South America, Australia, Southeast Asia, and Europe. Since I've traveled across such a wide range of styles, budgets, and destinations, I'm able to give recommendations based on real, firsthand experiences, not just what looks trending online.
Whether it's a luxury escape, an adventure-filled itinerary, or a balanced mix of both, I love helping people find the travel style that fits them best. I plan everything from Disney trips (both budget-friendly and luxury experiences) to solo journeys for travelers who want to explore unique destinations but don't necessarily have a travel partner.
I love coordinating special group trips and celebrations, like bachelorette parties, family reunions, milestone birthdays, and friends' getaways, so the planning feels easy and everyone can simply enjoy the experience together.
I also help coordinate travel for life's more difficult moments, such as funeral accommodations, trips after the loss of a loved one or pet, or even fresh-start getaways.
Travel should feel personal, exciting, and effortless, and my goal is to create experiences that match exactly what you're looking for.

We recently came to Melbourne for a few days to celebrate my birthday, and Sarah made the entire experience extra special. She arranged for a great hotel in an ideal location and greeted us with wine, chocolates, and a birthday card upon our arrival. We also received a hotel coupon, and breakfast was included, which was a nice touch.
Sarah went above and beyond by choosing some fantastic restaurants for our evening dinners, and we thoroughly enjoyed each of them. Her attention to detail, compassion, and superb service made our trip unforgettable.
Sarah, I appreciate your excellent service. We highly recommend you and are looking forward to arranging our future trip with you!

Working with Sarah made the entire travel planning process incredibly easy from start to finish. She took care of every detail, from finding the best flight options and arranging a rental car to booking activities and securing a hotel as close to the airport as possible so I could conveniently catch an early flight the next morning.
What impressed me most was her thoroughness and ability to think ahead. Every aspect of the trip was carefully coordinated, ensuring everything flowed seamlessly and eliminating any stress on my end. Sarah handled all of the logistics, reservations, and planning, allowing me to simply show up and enjoy the experience.
I also appreciated that she was able to book everything while still ensuring I received my hotel loyalty points and benefits, which was an added bonus. Her communication was excellent throughout the process, and she was always available to answer questions and provide assistance when needed.
If you're looking for someone who is organized, knowledgeable, meticulous and genuinely invested in creating a smooth travel experience, I highly recommend Sarah. She turned what could have been a complicated planning process into an effortless one, and I wouldn't hesitate to use her services again.

Sarah exceeded every expectation we had when planning our trip. From our very first conversation, it was clear she is incredibly knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and passionate about helping her clients create memorable experiences.
She took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and designed an itinerary that was perfectly tailored to our needs. Throughout the entire process, she was quick to respond, proactive with updates, and always available whenever we needed assistance or had questions.
The level of care and attention Sarah provides is truly exceptional. Knowing she was only a message away gave us peace of mind before and during our travels. If you're considering booking a trip, I cannot recommend Sarah highly enough. Her expertise, dedication, and outstanding service make her someone you can trust with even the most important travel plans.

Sarah booked a multi-country, multi-city within the countries, trip that included buses to get to trains that led to buses to mountaintops followed by beaches. She is AMAZING! Her attention to detail is like nothing I have ever dealt with and if there was a monkey wrench thrown in along the way she was quick to remove it. I couldn’t have asked for anything more and from here on out I don’t want anyone else.
