Experiences
What we plan, and who we plan it for. Every trip starts with you, not with a package.
Who we plan for
Four kinds of traveler, each planned for differently. Most people are more than one.
Milestone Celebrators
Anniversaries, big birthdays, retirements, the trip you promised each other.
a 30th anniversary in Tuscany, nine days, no early starts
Business Travelers
Efficient, considered planning: the right hotel, simple logistics, a good dinner nearby.
three days of meetings, one free afternoon well spent
Group Travelers
Friends, families and celebrations with many moving parts, coordinated so the group stays together.
eight friends, a 60th birthday, one villa, everyone’s must-do

What we plan
Personalized Travel Planning
It starts with a conversation about your kind of trip: early starts or slow mornings, guided or free, one base or many. Then we design the whole journey around the answers.
Hotels & Curated Stays
We look at the whole stay, not only the room: the street you walk out onto, the breakfast, the quiet. Then we recommend what fits, and book it if you would like us to.
Experiences & Itineraries
Tables worth the trip, a guide who knows the side door, a morning kept free on purpose. The parts that make a journey yours, fitted into one plan.
Group Travel
Celebrations, family reunions, friends who finally picked a date. We balance everyone’s priorities and keep the logistics off your plate.
Business Travel
The right hotel for the meeting and the evening after, simple logistics, and a few good recommendations for the free hour.

Hosted Journeys
Kara is exploring a first small-group journey for 2027. Mention it in your inquiry if you would like to hear when it is confirmed.
Before you ask
Do you only plan luxury trips?
No. Personal planning is about fit, not price. Some travelers want a once-in-a-lifetime splurge, others a well-planned week that makes every dollar count. We plan both.
What does planning cost?
It depends on the scope of your trip. We talk through planning fees in your first conversation, before any planning begins.
How far ahead should I reach out?
The earlier the better for popular places and busy seasons, but get in touch whenever the idea starts. We will tell you honestly what is possible.
Can you help with a trip I have partly booked?
Often, yes. Tell us what is already in place, and we will plan around it.
Do you plan group and business travel?
Yes. Groups of friends and family, celebrations, and business trips are all part of what we do. Kara is also exploring small-group journeys for the future.
