There’s a lot that happens long before a flight is booked.

Thoughtful hotel selection.
Understanding how each destination actually feels.
Timing experiences around seasons, weather, and pace.
Finding guides who can open doors, not just follow scripts.
Designing days that feel unhurried rather than overstuffed.

This is the part most people don’t see.
It’s also the part that makes the difference between a trip that’s fine and one that feels effortless.

If you’re starting to think about travel for the year ahead, this is where I come in.

The best trips are rarely last-minute decisions.

This is often the season when people start thinking more intentionally about travel.
Revisiting the trips they’ve been meaning to take.
The places they’ve saved.
The experiences they’ve imagined.
The time they want to prioritize.

You don’t need every detail figured out today. Sometimes the most meaningful trips begin with a simple thought:
“Maybe this is the year.”

And when you’re ready to start thinking it through, I’m here.

A look back at the trips that defined last year.

From Patagonia to Egypt to the charming villages of France and Italy, and so many places in between, last year was filled with travel that felt intentional, meaningful, and designed around exactly what each client wanted from their time away.

The theme was clear: people were ready for big experiences — bucket-list destinations, milestone celebrations, unfiltered adventure, and travel that brought families, couples, and friends together in ways everyday life never quite allows.

Clients gravitated toward places with depth, character, and room to explore — choosing not just where to go, but why.

I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who trusted me with their travels last year. It’s a privilege to help bring these moments to life.

If you’re thinking about a meaningful trip for 2026 or beyond, I’d love to help bring it to life.

Clients of The Atlas Upgrade are currently off exploring Egypt this week— and I’m loving seeing their trip unfold from afar. 🇪🇬 

They started in Giza, where their hotel had epic views of the pyramids, then kicked things off with a sunrise hot air balloon ride — soaring over the Valley of the Kings — and are now cruising down the Nile in style. All with private guides and drivers throughout for a seamless, tailored experience.

Some highlights from their custom itinerary:
✔️ VIP access at the paws of the Sphinx
✔️ Special permit visit to Wahte Tomb
✔️ Private hot air balloon ride over Luxor with champagne breakfast 
✔️ Abu Simbel with a private Egyptologist
✔️ Afternoon tea at the historic Old Cataract Hotel
✔️ Felucca sail at sunset
✔️ And so many ancient temples and stories to uncover

Designing this itinerary reminded me why Egypt is such a special destination — if Egypt’s on your list, what would be your must-do? Let me know in the comments. 🐪👇🏼

Work, but make it Italy. 🇮🇹✈️ 

I’m back in Italy for a mix of hotel site visits, unique experiences, and a little (mandatory) pasta research. Stops include Rome, Lake Garda, Lake Como, Milan, Florence, and Forte dei Marmi—where I’ll be checking out top hotels, exploring local culture, and, of course, making time for some incredible food and wine.

A huge thank you to my incredible partners for hosting me—excited to experience and share the best of what’s out there.
