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.

Hawaii in June
Choosing between Hawaii’s islands felt impossible—until we found Emily. She created an in-depth guide outlining what each island had to offer, making our decision so much easier. Her knowledge was incredible, breaking down everything from top activities and beaches to the vibe of each location. Thanks to her, we landed on Maui and the Big Island, and it was the perfect fit. She handled all the logistics—flights, resorts, rental cars, and excursions—so we could just relax and enjoy. Emily’s attention to detail and passion for travel made this the easiest trip we’ve ever planned. If you’re struggling to decide on a destination, she’s the expert you need!

Cali Roadtrip
Emily’s passion for California made all the difference in planning our road trip. She’s been there countless times and knew everything—hidden gems, the best coastal drives, where to stay, and even the best local food spots. Her excitement was contagious, and her expertise made planning a breeze. She mapped out the perfect route, from San Francisco down the Pacific Coast Highway to Big Sur, Santa Barbara, and San Diego. She gave us tips on must-see spots in Yosemite and Napa. Every detail was covered, so all we had to do was enjoy the ride. If you want a travel agent who truly knows her destinations and cares about your experience, Emily is the best.

Unforgettable Adventure
When we decided to take a trip out west to explore the national parks, we had no idea where to start. With so many options—Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Bryce Canyon, Zion, and more—we were completely overwhelmed. That’s where Emily came in, and we could not have done it without her! Emily was incredibly patient as we sorted through different routes, park passes, and lodging options. She crafted the perfect itinerary for Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons that balanced adventure with relaxation, ensuring we got to see the must-visit spots without feeling rushed. She even helped us secure hard-to-book accommodations inside the parks, which made all the difference in our experience. From rental car logistics to hidden hiking trail recommendations, Emily thought of everything. Her attention to detail made this trip stress-free and unforgettable. We’ve worked with travel agents before, but none as dedicated and knowledgeable as Emily. If you’re planning a trip—whether it’s a city escape

Our Dream Vacation Made a Reality
Planning a big trip can be overwhelming, but thanks to Emily, our vacation was absolutely perfect! We had so many ideas and so many questions, but Emily was incredibly patient throughout the entire process. She took the time to understand exactly what we wanted, helped us narrow down our destination (we landed on Italy!), and crafted an itinerary that was beyond anything we could have imagined. From flights to hotels to must-see sights, Emily handled every detail with care and expertise. She even helped us navigate last-minute changes with ease, ensuring that our trip stayed stress-free. Her recommendations—like a private food tour in Rome and a hidden gem of a winery in Tuscany—made all the difference. I’ve never worked with a travel agent who was so dedicated, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making our trip amazing. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond for you, Emily is the best! Thank you for everything! ?
