About
I am a true Santa Barbara County local and specialize in hotels, vacation rentals and concierge services in town. I'm also experienced in luxury and boutique hotels, trip planning and custom itineraries, food and wine experiences and romance and honeymoon getaways, all over the world. I live for curated experiences, aesthetically pleasing bars and restaurants with top-notch service and white sandy beaches.
Travel style
Exploring the beautiful cobblestoned streets of San Miguel de Allende and central Mexico, while scoping out the best local restaurants. Spending the day at the spa after eating pizza and drinking vino in a small Italian city. Relaxing by the beach in front of the Rosewood Miramar in Santa Barbara (frozen mojito in hand) – I truly love it all! I enjoy good food, wine, true exploration, relaxation and immersing myself in other cultures.

Taylor's reviews
Taylor Votaw with West & Co Travel is simply superb in every dimension. She coordinated an incredible, immersive two week trip for my wife and 11 year old son to Austria, Switzerland, and Hungary this summer. And she did so with perfect attention to detail, kindness and efficiency, and absolute brilliance. I unequivocally recommend her for anyone's travel needs!

We had an AMAZING experience with Taylor at West & Co! We recently went on a two-week European adventure, and she helped us book every single hotel...and let me tell you, we visited many cities. Taylor was very responsive and available, she understood our budget and desires, and she found us some amazing hotels. It really was a breeze working with her, and our trip wouldn't have been as amazing without her expertise! We are forever grateful for Taylor!

Taylor from West & Co. Travel did an amazing job helping me plan a romantic trip to Morocco with my boyfriend! She helped us find deals on incredible Riads (boutique hotels) in Marrakesh and by booking with her we were able to get free upgrades and lots of perks! And the place was amazing!! I never would have found it! She also helped me find and arrange a 3-day trip out to the Sahara Dessert and even camel rides and a nights stay in the sand dunes in a luxurious tent camp. Was really a trip of my dreams! I never would have found this company if it was not for Taylor and we honestly had the best guide, great price and incredible memories! I highly recommend West & Co. because she just knows what is good and you can trust her recommendations. She worked within my budget and was so thorough and detail oriented! We are already trying to plan another trip to the Caribbean with her next year!

Booking through West & Co. was nothing short of amazing! Not only did they take the stress away from finding a hotel but we got so many amenities by booking through them! I will be using West & Co. for all my future travel needs!
