Whether you're seeking a romantic escape, an adventure off the beaten path or a cultural journey through historic cities, I'm here to make it happen seamlessly.

Travel style
An ideal day of travel for me begins with exploring a new city, experiencing its vibrant culture and uncovering hidden gems known only to locals. Whether wandering through bustling markets, admiring architectural marvels or savoring the flavors of local cuisine, I believe that the true essence of a destination lies in the authentic experiences it offers. When I'm not out exploring, you can often find me unwinding on a sunny beach, enjoying some freshly caught seafood and a glass of vino.

Tessa's reviews
Tessa exceeded our expectations for a travel advisor. At the outset, we spoke about visiting boutique properties with a great vibe for our 10 day trip to Italy and she knocked it out of the park, suggesting multiple hotels and itinerary options that were exactly on point and within our target price range. We keep saying our Italy trip was the best vacation we have ever taken!!

After working with Tessa for a trip to Paris in the summer of 2023, I was blown away by her knowledge, skill, and execution. I now rely on her services for all of my international trips, and I am always impressed by her ability to recommend fantastic hotels, restaurants, and experiences. Each time Tessa arranges my reservations, it is a seamless experience that inevitably includes free upgrades and perks at beautiful, world-class destinations. I could not recommend her more highly. 6/5 stars.

Tessa made our travel wonderful and seamless. Somehow without asking too much from us she was able to architect a week away to fit our exact taste and needs. You can tell she's very good at what she does as all the hotel's bend over backwards to cater to her customers and you always arrive with a sweet gift to kick off your trip! No matter if it's a 2 nighter away or your 2 week honeymoon, she's got you covered!
