Beautiful Portofino, one of my favorite spots!
Beautiful Portofino, one of my favorite spots!

I absolutely love every unique region Italy has to offer, but there is something special about the Riviera, especially Cinque Terre and Portofino. Every visit to this region is unforgettable. From the vibrant colors of the cliffside villages to the luxurious charm of Portofino’s harbor, there is something magical about this coastal region. Cinque Terre is Italian for 5 lands. It is a A UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its villages are Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore. These villages are renowned for their breathtaking landscapes, terraced vineyards, and crystal-clear waters. Whether you’re looking to hike the rugged trails between the villages, savor authentic Ligurian cuisine, or simply relax by the sea, there really is something for everyone here. I am partial to Riomaggiore; its sunset views cannot be beat. Portofino is a destination near and dear to my heart because my Italian grandmother visited when I was young and her pictures were breathtaking. Portofino is famous for its picturesque harbor and upscale ambiance. Whether you want to explore hidden coves, indulge in a wine-tasting tour, or immerse yourself in the cultural history of the region, I am here to create a customized itinerary tailored to your preferences. Let me take care of the logistics, so you can focus on making memories that will last a lifetime. The Italian Riviera is a destination you won't forget.

An Amazing Anniversary in Mexico!
My husband and I recently celebrated our 15th anniversary with a dream trip to Mexico, and we have Emily to thank for making it unforgettable! We knew we wanted something special, and Emily delivered beyond our expectations. She recommended Tulum and Akumal, and it was the perfect mix of stunning beaches, rich history, and vibrant culture. From lounging on the soft sands and swimming in the clear blue waters to exploring the ancient Mayan ruins, every moment felt magical.

Emily’s attention to detail was exceptional—from finding us the most charming beachfront resort to suggesting local spots for authentic food and guiding us on the best tours for the cenotes and ruins. She even ensured we had a special anniversary dinner on the beach. It was everything we dreamed of and more. We couldn’t have planned this without her expertise, and we’re already thinking about our next adventure with her help.

Florida in a Hurricane
With an impending hurricane coming towards our second home in Punta Gorda, I had a lot of anxiety and knew I wanted to make sure we were protected. While I wanted to go secure our home, I didn't want to remain in the line of fire. Emily helped me figure out a safe place to stay and wait out the storm. In the middle of my anxiety, she handled all of the details so I didn't need to worry about it. I appreciate that so much. I will use Emily for all my future travel needs.

Scotland and Ireland Next May
I have known Emily for many years and have always found her to be warm and engaging. I believe she has found her perfect profession. My husband and I have worked with her over the last several weeks planning our European trip to Scotland and Ireland. We weren't really sure of which way we wanted to go. Emily has been so helpful and instrumental in helping us plan this trip. She offers various suggestions and possibilities to consider. She's very efficient and has allowed us to plan the trip within our budget.

We are very appreciative of her efforts. We are also very excited for our upcoming trip!

Visiting Wine Country for the First Time
I hadn't seen my friend Katie in two years and I was so excited to visit her in California. I was nervous never having been to California before and overwhelmed by the number of wineries in the region-- I didn't know where to start. But Emily planned the perfect trip for me and Katie to hang out while also enjoying great wine. We stayed in Kenwood, just outside Sonoma, and the location was ideal for both wine tours and relaxation. Emily organized everything so well—our wine tours were incredible, and she even recommended some amazing local restaurants where we enjoyed some of the best food I’ve ever had. It was so special to spend quality time with my friend, especially since we hadn’t seen each other in so long. It was nice not to worry about the planning and instead just enjoy each other's company. The whole trip was seamless and stress-free, thanks to Emily’s attention to detail. She made sure we had everything we needed for a perfect getaway.

Netherlands Made Easy
My daughter and her boyfriend were studying abroad this past summer in a small town outside of Amsterdam called Maastricht. I had never been to Europe before (neither had my daughter) and we were a little nervous about how well everything would fall into place. We decided to visit Natalie at the end of her time in the Netherlands, so we flew out in the end of June. Emily was so helpful in making this easy for us. She was willing to do all the research and found us the best prices on hotels, flights, and trains. We flew into Brussels and took a train to Amsterdam, where we spent a few days roaming around. What an amazing city! We ate some delicious meals (I didn't know what to expect; the Dutch aren't exactly known for their food). It ended up being such a nice trip. We missed Natalie and being able to reconnect with her without worrying about booking trains or getting from one place to another was really valuable. Emily thought of everything and it made this whole process so se
