The Shameless Tourist

08/06/2025

Ever wonder why we don’t break down every line item when we design your trip? Read on to see why we do it and why that’s a very good thing.

We recently had clients return from an "unforgettable" trip to Greece — their words, not ours! It was their first time trusting us to plan a completely customized itinerary, and by the end they were already dreaming up their next big adventure.

Here’s what they said:
“We’re so glad the pricing wasn’t broken down line by line. If it had been, we might’ve skipped a few things — and those ended up being some of our favorite parts.”

They went on to say that the VIP airport experience, cooking class with a local, and a stop in Paros (which wasn’t even on their radar!) turned out to be some of the most meaningful highlights of the entire trip.

When you trust us with your trip, we’re curating it holistically — with intention, flow, comfort, and connection in mind. We believe every detail should contribute to your entire experience, not just your bottom line. And sometimes, the most unexpected pieces end up being the most memorable!

Vacation hits different when someone else handles the planning.

Every detail? Covered.

Every moment? Effortless.

This is what travel is supposed to feel like.

If you’ve ever found yourself wishing for a trip that felt a little more tailored, a little more thoughtful, and a lot less stressful… you might be a Shameless Tourist.

I design travel for people who want the good stuff. Not just the five-star hotels, but the quiet table at the back with the view, the guide who brings a city to life, the itinerary that makes space for presence and joy.

And yes, I’ve been where I send you. Because that matters.

Think of me as your travel-obsessed friend with a passport full of stamps and a serious eye for detail. If that sounds like something you need in your life, send me a message, let’s plan a trip that's shamelessly YOU!

Thrilled to share my latest article for Travel + Leisure, where I dive into one of my favorite topics, planning unforgettable family vacations that truly connect us with our kids.

As both a travel designer and a mom, I’ve learned that the most meaningful trips aren’t just about the destination. They’re about creating space for presence, wonder, and memories that stay with us long after we return home.

If you’ve ever dreamed of planning the perfect trip with your child (or simply want to make the most of your next one), I hope this piece offers both inspiration and a few helpful takeaways.

💬 I’d love to hear: what’s one trip you’ve taken with your kids that you’ll never forget?
