Travel style

I never miss a must-see and I make it my mission to find that memorable travel "WOW!" I appreciate finer hotels and restaurants (I'm all about the F&B and a good night's sleep) but always look to discover that special local favorite.

Caren 's reviews

Caren was fantastic! She got everything organized for us including the ability to pay on one bill. We got a great rate, loved our 3 rooms that were all next door to each other and the welcome goodies really made us feel special. Thank you Caren!!!

Caren is a phenomenal travel agent! She is organized, thorough, thoughtful and incredibly patient. She is the ultimate traveler advocate ensuring that every detail of each trip is considered and addressed. Our highest praise for Caren is her integrity. She answers questions honestly and uses her extensive network to investigate anything outside of her expertise. We refer Caren excitedly and without hesitation at every opportunity - she is THE BEST!

My first time in Paris and I've had fabulous 3 days in this "City of Light". Thank you Caren for booking this charming La Maison Favart hotel and making my birthday such a memorable day. I've used the honestly bar voucher for a good bottle of wine to celebrate my birthday. 🍾👍 Breakfast was so good with a lot of choices to eat including croissants and French crepes (my favorites) and delicious coffee. I will definitely come back. For now "Au revoir" but "A la prochaine" 💜

If you offered me 10 stars Caren would get all of them! Caren came highly recommended to me by one of my close friends. When I reached out to her and (vaguely!) explained what I was looking for and the budget I wished to cap at she came up with a variety of offerings. She literally read my mind. Caren was efficient, professional but also warm, kind and I found that she can be cool, calm, collected and solution oriented in emergencies. We were leaving early on Saturday morning and on Wednesday evening I was packing the Passports and saw that my daughter's had expired. As you could imagine, I was hysterical and had no idea on how to quickly resolve the issue. I called Caren (off hours mind you) and she was able to talk me off a ledge and also research and provide instructions on how to expedite the Passport. Although I was skeptical, I followed her directions and ta-da! all worked out. She went above and beyond in all that she did - she provided and suggested different options of what we could do when we were there and also offered to book the car service and make the restaurant reservations. Besides the Passport drama (which was clearly self-inflicted on my side) she made all seamless. Not to mention, she even checked in while we there to see how all was going and if there was anything she may do to make our vacation all the more memorable. I HIGHLY recommend Caren Strauss and give her huge kudos and accolades. A++++
