Travel style
I enjoy slow, mindful, and immersive travel that goes beyond sightseeing and souvenir collecting. It's about connecting with the soul of a place, understanding its history, and appreciating its unique character. I take time to indulge in the moment, and to create a personal connection with a destination.

I had not worked with Ella before, and she was fantastic. She was responsive and provided several excellent hotel options for my stay in Paris, and followed up in the weeks leading up to the trip to confirm all the details and offer transportation recommendations. Working with Ella was seamless, and I would highly recommend her services.

Perfectly suggested and reserved for us. Special Happy Bday card with treats from Ella and hotel waited in the room upon arrival. All expectation were met and Ellas's recommendations for Berlin (food, sightseeing, etc.) worked perfectly.
