I'm the most excited about discovering places that typically people are less curious to visit. Eritrea, Tajikistan, Mongolia and Bhutan have been some of my favorites, mostly because I had no idea what to expect! My two musts while traveling are eating and sleeping well. I enjoy finding quirky boutique hotels that can deliver a more localized experience with an edge of luxury. I've visited 98 countries (and counting!), spent eight years living in the Middle East and have traveled widely through Asia, Europe and Africa, so I've got insider knowledge to help you plan a visit where you'll see both the expected and unexpected.

Cassidy's reviews
Cassidy planned a great last-minute weekend getaway for me in Palm Springs. She found a beautiful hotel that was just a few minutes away from fun bars and restaurants, and even arranged a surprise welcome gift. She took all the stress out of booking- I’d definitely book through her again.

Working with Cassidy on this amazing extended family vacation was such a pleasure. Sharing her broad travel experience was invaluable as she was able to guide us with a special itinerary that everyone enjoyed. We not only visited many historical sites in and around Lisbon which included a day trip to Sintra and she even arranged a custom boat charter at sunset featuring an open bar and DJ! One of our best trips ever! Hope to continue using Cassidy to book future travel.
