Samantha Garrick - Travel Designer I’m Sam, a travel designer specializing in thoughtfully curated European and Caribbean travel, cruises, and romantic escapes.

I take care of the details so you can travel confidently, relax fully, and enjoy a trip that feels perfectly you.

Some trips are about seeing somewhere new… Others make you realize just how much life is changing.

Our recent college-tour road trips have been a little of both!

New campuses. New towns. Conversations about the future. Copious amounts of coffee. And plenty of moments when I caught myself thinking about how quickly we’ve arrived at this chapter🥹

As a mom, it’s a lot to take in! As someone who has built a business around helping families make memories together, it also feels like a timely reminder of why I love what I do.

Travel isn’t always about the bucket-list destination or the picture-perfect vacation. Sometimes it’s about having the time and space to connect, explore, celebrate, and be together while you can.

So, fellow moms of seniors, as you’re navigating applications, campus visits, graduation plans (and approximately one million other things), don’t forget to make room for the fun stuff, too 🩷

If a graduation trip is on your family’s horizon, I’d love to help you plan something that feels right for your family. Whether that’s a once-in-a-lifetime adventure or a few days away to celebrate this enormous milestone, let’s make it count!

Your permission slip to choose your next resort stay based purely on razzle dazzle ✨✨

No spreadsheets or pros & cons lists needed. (Although a rooftop tapas spot is definitely a pro!)

Just… look at her 💛

My clients asked for a European Christmas Markets tour.

But the more I listened, the more I realized what they actually needed was more time wandering the markets, sipping glühwein and enjoying the season together - and a lot less time schlepping from town to town.

These besties wanted to explore Prague, Germany and Vienna, soak up the markets, meet other travelers and enjoy a long-awaited trip together.

What they didn’t want? Constantly packing, unpacking and following a tour schedule 😅

So I found them a river cruise!

Now their luxe “hotel” will float with them down the Danube while they experience the Christmas markets they’ve been dreaming about 🥂🎄

Sometimes you don’t need someone to give you more options… You need someone who can listen for what matters, sort through the options, explain the trade-offs, and help you figure out which trip actually fits.

That’s what I do!

You bring me the dream; I’ll help you figure out how to make it the right trip 🩷

JUST BOOKED: Honeymoon Edition 🥂✨

Garrett came to me knowing exactly where he and his fiancée wanted to honeymoon: Excellence Oyster Bay in Jamaica

And I love that!
Because working with a travel designer isn’t always about needing someone to tell you *where* to go. Sometimes, you already know & just want someone you trust to make sure everything around it is handled beautifully.

So that’s exactly what we’re doing🤍
They’re headed to Jamaica for 6 dreamy nights in an Excellence Club Private Pool Junior Suite, with a few little upgrades I was able to score along the way, including complimentary private transfers.

And we aren’t stopping at the resort… I’m handling their flights, Club MoBay, transfers, and all the little details in between so they can spend their time doing what honeymooners should be doing:

✈️celebrating, packing, and going ✈️

Garrett, thank you for trusting me with such an important trip- It’s an honor to be the person behind the scenes making it all come together!

Here’s to a honeymoon that is every bit as unforgettable as the wedding day🥂

I’m constantly on the hunt for great hotels for my clients, and naturally sometimes I spot one that I absolutely have to bookmark for myself!

Hotel Estherea has had a permanent spot in my browser tabs for more than three years. (In my defense, even though I seem to pass through AMS Airport on every trip to Europe, I haven’t actually stayed overnight in Amsterdam again since discovering it😅) 

I first found it while exploring Amsterdam’s Nine Streets area and immediately fell for the dramatic interior, rich details, and unapologetically luxe style. Built across several historic canal houses along an iconic canal, it’s completely unique... even having their own resident cat and a library-themed lounge! 

Every room has its own personality, and the whole place feels a bit like stepping inside a beautifully curated jewelry box. 

After three years of admiring it from a browser tab, I’ll finally get to stay here, and I’m ridiculously excited!! And I can’t wait to tell you whether it lives up to three years of anticipation🥂

The best fall vacations are planned long before pumpkin spice makes its annual comeback 🍁

Whether your perfect autumn getaway looks like strolling historic streets, escaping to the mountains, enjoying a luxury resort, chasing thrills, or trying something completely different, these are some of the family destinations I’d recommend for fall!

It’s time to stop spending your evenings juggling 37 browser tabs, comparing hotels, and wondering if you’re making the right choice.

Vacation planning doesn’t have to feel like work!

When you choose to work with me, you’re getting so much more than a booking confirmation.

You’re gaining a travel designer, strategist, advocate, and trusted partner who’s with you every step of the way! 🩷

I’ll help you narrow down the endless options, design an itinerary that fits your travel style and budget, and handle the details that most people don’t even know to think about. And if something unexpected comes up before or during your trip? You won’t be figuring it out alone.

From the first “Where should we go?” to the moment you arrive back home, I’m in your corner.

Because your vacation should be about making memories- not managing logistics.

You dream about the trip. I’ll help make it happen!

Travel planning works best when it’s a partnership. 🤍

The more I know about your travel style, priorities, and goals, the better I can create a vacation that’s truly you.
These aren’t “rules”… they’re simply the things I’ve learned after planning hundreds of trips that lead to happier travelers, smoother vacations, and fewer surprises.

Save this post for the next time you’re planning a getaway, and if you’re ready to start dreaming, my inbox is always open!

Here are the 7 types of trips I’d book before August! ✈️

If holiday travel is even remotely on your radar, now is the time to start planning. The best rooms, villas, and itineraries don’t stay available for long, and waiting often means fewer options and higher prices.

The good news? There’s still time to plan something incredible. The key is getting ahead of the holiday rush!

Which one would you choose?
