Travel style

I am always in search of a destination that offers my three favorite things about exploring a new place: adventure with a view, local food and a body of water. I am a huge advocate of a balanced trip itinerary — I love a packed and planned day, but time for spontaneous exploring and resting is just as important. Most days you will find me planning around restaurant reservations or scuba diving. I'm no stranger to traveling on a budget, but believe in letting yourself have indulgences because traveling creates priceless memories.

Courtney's reviews

Took so much initiative in planning things for us — emailing hotel staff, booking transportation, confirming reservations, etc.. Very professional with quick turn around time and communication. Got us lots of extra perks too! Can’t recommend enough.

Courtney researched destinations for a special occasion trip with diving and offered Hamanasi as a premium option. She found a winner and we will seek out her guidance on all future adventures. Excellent communication and follow-up.

Courtney made the planning process for us seamless! She provided us with all options as to where we could stay with the offered perks. She was all smiles and made us feel very excited about our trip! Courtney helped us book our resort stay and several dining experiences. She booked all travel to and from the airport and gave us a clear itinerary prior to our departure. We loved working with Courtney and will do it again!!
