About
Every day is a good day to travel! Chicago-based travel globetrotter that enjoys travel magazines and honestly all things travel. In my free time I am making constant bucket list travel plans and working on checking them off!
Travel style
I grew up traveling with my family and now I have two young kiddos that I want to show the world to because I know how seeing the world has shaped me! When I am not running an event-planning business that happens to involve major planning, I am planning family trips and girls' getaways. As a mom, wife, daughter and friend I know how important it is to balance travel and life! I describe myself as a chameleon of travel – I really love experiencing ALL travel on ALL budgets! I will create a relationship with your travel style and make sure we get exactly the trip you are wanting to create those lasting memories that will shape you in your future.

Sylvia's reviews
Sylvia was delightful to work with! She was very responsive before and even during the trip which was a plus and nice to know that we had her by our side. She pays attention to detail and made booking this trip seamless for us. I would highly recommend using Sylvia for any other trip as we plan on using her for our future trips!

Travel is so easy with Sylvia! Highly recommend working with her on your next trip to make life easier! It is a welcomed change to have someone as knowledgeable and organized as Sylvia to help manage it all so we can enjoy the vacation more. She sends reminders in advance...hotel/flight check-in, touches base to see how things are going, and works very hard to resolve any unexpected disturbances on the trip. She also thinks of things we may not remember - like transportation logistics or grabbing water/snacks at airport in case custom lines are long...and her itineraries are so easy to follow and informative. I loved how easy she made booking transportation to/from Cabo's airport to the hotel as there are a TON of options!! She is so helpful and responsive about hotel offerings like reserving cabana's or booking spa services - just makes it so easy to book and saves you so much research time! She is a concierge authority and can help with any recommendation! Sylvia works very hard at making your stay as enjoyable as possible. Can't wait to book our next trip with her! Oh, wait - I already did! :-) so looking forward to it. Also, if you're unsure of where to travel to next, Sylvia has unmatched travel experience around the globe and offers EXCELLENT ideas and recommendations to help narrow it down!

Sylvia went above and beyond to make this quick couples trip so special for us and she blew me away! During planning she was beyond professional and quick and put together a beautiful portfolio of options! When we landed on our hotel, she gave us amazing recommendations, outlined all our perks clearly, and even saved us further on costs later on! She completely puts her clients first and her attention to detail is incredible...I trust her to plan every vacation I ever go on again :) She has set the bar insanely high!

Sylvia made my 50th birthday tennis trip to Palm Springs not only super easy to plan but also something I will always remember thanks to her incredible attention to detail and thoughtful ideas. The gift itself was Sylvia’s professional, knowledgeable, and organized approach to planning a big trip with multiple guests. From the beginning of planning, Sylvia listened intently to how I wanted to create this special weekend. She crafted a beautiful itinerary with everything I wanted and made it so easy for me and my friends to book and plan the trip. She anticipated questions and our needs and would reach out ahead of time to take things off our to do list which again was a huge gift when planning a big trip, before the holidays! Sylvia always followed up and checked in leading up to the trip, making sure we had everything we need and confirming reservations. She always gave an extra thought to every part of our plans, sending recommendations and referrals. Then, above all of the incredible service above, Sylvia sent each and everyone of us AMAZING surprises in each of our rooms which kicked off our weekend on such a positive note. My friends were so happy to be part of the 50th celebration as well as we sat on our pool decks toasting to each other enjoying chocolate covered strawberries and fruit plates as well as divine chocolate truffles!! Sylvia even coordinated with the hotel staff to surprise me with the cutest embroidered “happy birthday” pillow matching the cool decor of this Jonathan Adler designed hotel!! Sylvia went above and beyond to make our stay was even more memorable and special, and it worked and we will never forget it!! I had always done my own travel planning in the past, and thought that I did a good job just by booking nice hotels and airfare, now that I know what it’s like to have extra help creating a perfect vacation or trip, I will always reach out to Sylvia for our future travel needs for myself, my friends, and our family. Her extensive travel experience is evident as she has incredible recommendations for any type of trip. Thank you Sylvia for making my 50th birthday vacation one I will never forget!!
