My Story

LA-based sunset chaser and perpetual honeymooner.

Travel Style

I believe in travel that’s both indulgent and intentional — where five-star stays meet hidden gems, and adventure is just as important as relaxation. I know when to splurge on unforgettable moments (hello, overwater villas and private safaris) and when to uncover authentic experiences that don’t come with a luxury price tag. Whether it’s a Michelin-starred dinner in Paris or a local trattoria in Tuscany, I curate travel that’s elevated, immersive and uniquely yours.

We are very grateful to Sophia for the incredible Alaskan adventure she planned for us in June 2025. Sophia’s knowledge, creativity, and attention to detail laid the foundation for an unforgettable experience. She did an excellent job of curating the trip to match our wishes along with offering us opportunities to get out of our comfort zone if we chose to. We highly recommend Sophia for all of your travel needs. Neal and Kim

Planning a trip for 18 people could have easily been overwhelming, but thanks to Sophie, it turned into one of the most seamless and memorable experiences we’ve ever had. From the very beginning, every detail was handled with incredible organization, responsiveness, and creativity.

She took the time to understand our group’s different interests, budgets, and travel styles, and somehow managed to design an itinerary that made everyone happy. From coordinating accommodations that comfortably fit a large group, to arranging transportation, reservations, and unique local experiences in Dublin, everything ran flawlessly.

What really stood out was her attention to detail and proactive communication. We always felt informed and taken care of, and any last-minute adjustments were handled quickly and professionally. It allowed us to actually relax and enjoy the trip rather than stress about logistics.

The recommendations—from dining spots to activities—were spot on and gave us an authentic feel for Dublin that we wouldn’t have been able to create on our own. Managing a group of this size is no small task, but she made it look easy.

I would highly recommend her services to anyone planning a trip. This was a first-class experience from start to finish, and we’re already looking forward to working with her again for our next adventure.

Sophia helped us with every aspect of this booking. We wanted to be somewhere quiet but close to Tremezzo and Bellagio. She booked us a full day boat ride around the lake and it was the highlight of the trip. She also took care of reserving us tables at Grand Hotel Tremezzo, Una Finestra Sul Lago, and La Tirlindana. Sophia's planning made the entire trip stress-free and seamless, especially leaving right from our wedding. I felt like all we had to do was show up and enjoy it!

Sophia Newman’s attention to detail, communication style, and organization made our weekend nothing short of perfect! She effortlessly brought all my engagement ideas to life, and added her own personal touch to elevate our trip to the next level. She was always ahead of the curve, triple checking with the hotel staff that everything was perfect before the proposal. It took all the stress out of the weekend and allowed my fiancé and I to enjoy every second! I will absolutely use Sophia’s services again, and will be recommending her to everyone I know!

Sophie was absolutely incredible to work with! She handled every detail of our trip flawlessly — from booking travel to finding the perfect accommodations for us and our son. When plans needed to change, she made adjustments quickly and seamlessly, taking all the stress out of the process.

What stood out most was her combination of professionalism and personal touch. She was attentive, personable, and truly cared about making our trip special. It never felt transactional — Sophie went above and beyond to ensure we felt supported every step of the way.

We couldn’t have asked for a better travel advisor, and we’ll definitely be working with her again for future trips! Highly recommend.
