My Story

Thanks to my parents’ early influence, I’ve been exploring the world since I was a year old, including living abroad. I’m constantly seeking out new adventures, whether on my own, with friends, or with my husband. For years, I’ve been sending itineraries and recommendations to friends, family, colleagues, and beyond—and now, I’m taking it a step further to provide personalized travel planning.

My Travel Style

I’ve always been the planner of my group and developed a knack for navigating the travel landscape, knowing how to avoid tourist traps and uncover authentic experiences and the hidden gems locals love. I think one of the best ways to immerse yourself in a culture is to experience the food, so you'll always find a list of amazing restaurants and eateries on my itineraries.

travel to South Africa and Zimbabwe

23 days ago

We worked with Sheyda to plan our honeymoon to South Africa and Victoria Falls, and the entire experience was beyond anything we could have imagined.

From the very beginning, Sheyda took the time to truly listen to our wishes and dreams for the trip, and then brought them to life in the most thoughtful and seamless way. From wine tastings in Franschhoek and the Flight of Angels over Victoria Falls to our incredible safari at Silvan Lodge and scenic drives along the Cape Peninsula, every experience felt handpicked and perfectly curated. The itinerary struck the ideal balance between adventure, luxury, and downtime—exactly what we were hoping for.

Every detail, from accommodations and transfers to private tours and restaurant reservations, was flawlessly managed and seamlessly coordinated by her. Sheyda was always responsive and available for last-minute changes or personalized recommendations, and her suggestions for dining, spa experiences, and local activities were all spot-on.

What truly sets Sheyda apart is that she curates experiences rather than just itineraries. You don’t feel like a tourist—you feel like you’re truly experiencing each place.

From planning to execution, Sheyda’s attention to detail, passion for travel, and deep understanding of what makes a trip special made our honeymoon absolutely unforgettable. We can’t recommend her enough to anyone planning a once-in-a-lifetime journey.

I reached out to Sheyda last minute while planning a quick trip to Austin for a bachelor party and decided to go a few days early to meet with clients. Sheyda was incredibly fast, attentive, and thoughtful and somehow even managed to find me a better rate than what I could book on my own. When I arrived at the hotel, I was surprised with an upgrade and a handwritten note from Sheyda waiting in my room along with cupcakes (which were absolutely fire). Not only that, my room was upgraded and I was able to get $100 towards the on-site restaurant and had a fantastic dinner. It’s rare to experience this level of personal touch and care these days. All in all, Sheyda set the bar for what great travel service should be. I’ll 100% be using her for all my future trips.

Our honeymoon to Thailand was absolutely incredible, and we truly couldn’t have done it without Sheyda. She planned everything from start to finish — Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, and Koh Samui — coordinating flights, transfers, hotels, guides, and even little details like VIP airport help and restaurant reservations.

Every part of the trip felt personalized, from sunrise hikes in Doi Inthanon and visits to the Elephant Sanctuary to island-hopping in the south. Sheyda was so responsive, caring, and organized, always one step ahead and making sure we were taken care of.

We’re so grateful for all her hard work — she made the whole experience effortless and unforgettable. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for tastefully curated travel planning!

We worked with Sheyda to plan a girls weekend to the Nobu Hotel in Cabo San Lucas, and she made the entire experience effortless. She recommended Nobu as a unique hotel that fit exactly what we were looking for (relaxation, great food, and a beautiful setting), and she hooked us up with amazing perks like a complimentary room upgrade and food & beverage / spa credits throughout our stay.

Sheyda handled every detail behind the scenes, coordinating with the hotel, sharing insider tips, and securing restaurant reservations both on the property and at cool spots nearby. Every recommendation was perfect, and the trip felt seamless from beginning to end. We can’t wait to plan our next escape with her!

We had an absolutely wonderful travel experience thanks to Sheyda. She is truly professional, knowledgeable, attentive, and detailed in every aspect of planning. From the very beginning, her communication was timely and clear, and she followed through every step of the way — She even checked day by day to make sure pickups, drop-offs, and the tours went exactly as planned, and we are comfortable and enjoying our trip.

Sheyda arranged everything perfectly, from hotels to restaurants and tours, all while considering our budget, preferences, and needs. Our trip was seamless and stress-free, and we couldn’t be happier. Highly recommended!
