Our Story

Adventure has always been part of my story—former ski instructor, scuba diver, sailor, and mom of three boys—paired with an event marketing background that makes every detail seamless. I curate luxury travel for high-achieving couples and groups who crave culture, connection, and a little adrenaline—without sacrificing comfort. You bring the vision; I’ll design the journey.

Travel Style

The best trips feel effortless, but nothing about planning them is. That's where I come in.

For families: You know where you want to go. I handle the transfers, the reservations, the fine print—so you show up and everyone actually relaxes.

For groups: As a former corporate event director, I've run full request for proposals (RFPs) including sourcing venues, negotiating contracts, and securing perks most travelers never see. That same leverage protects your group's budget and elevates every detail, whether it's a 10-person bachelorette trip or a 500-person conference.

For adventure seekers: I'm never far from the water or the mountains—wakesurfing on Lake Norman, sailing the Carolina coast, hiking the NC hills, or chasing powder at Park City. I know how to pair adrenaline with comfort, so your trip has both the thrill and the spa day.
I build smart itineraries using points, perks, and preferred-partner pricing wherever it makes sense, saving you money without cutting a single corner on experience.

Tell me what you're dreaming up. I'll turn a trip into an adventure worth taking and memories that last a lifetime.

Vanessa did a great job and the booking was very easy especially since it was a last minute booking. She was also able to secure us VIP perks which included $100 voucher for food, beverage and gift store and also free breakfast.

I highly recommend Vanessa Murray with Fora who vetted the details for us and seamlessly got us rescheduled when our flights were canceled. She's the fairy godmother of travel.

Yes, Vanessa answered all our questions and concerns, arranging private transport so as to make our connections worry free too! We really appreciated all her attention to detail and helped us to stay within our budget range too. Silverseas turned out to be an excellent choice of cruise line for us and the staff of Siverseas was incredible! Customs in St. Maarten was quick and easy and Silverseas truly handled all of our other details once onboard. We had a most wonderful adventure thanks to Vanessa! We would have never been able to plan such a trip on our own.
