Profile details
About
Passionate about living like a local while exploring the world. Brooklyn-based, with roots in London and always avidly planning my next adventure.
Travel style
I love immersing myself in rich cultures with fascinating history and exquisite cuisines, both in ultimate luxury or on a budget, and sharing my "locals-only" finds with other curious travelers. Not only do I have a passion for exploring and finding the most interesting places, but I love curating perfect trips based on people's personal interests. I've been fortunate to have traveled widely, lived abroad, and worked internationally and want to show people how easy and fun it can be to design your dream trip.

My partner and I recently embarked on a journey of a lifetime, and we owe the incredible experience to the exceptional service provided by Rabia. From the initial planning stages to the very last day of our trip, Rabia demonstrated unparalleled dedication, knowledge, and care. Rabia's commitment to going above and beyond for her clients truly sets her apart. She meticulously curated an itinerary that exceeded our expectations, incorporating unique and off-the-beaten-path destinations that aligned perfectly with our desire for a one-of-a-kind adventure. Her extensive knowledge of the travel industry and destinations made every suggestion she provided invaluable. What truly stood out was Rabia's unwavering support when faced with unexpected challenges during our trip. When one of us suffered an injury and an illness, Rabia stepped in seamlessly, arranging for immediate assistance and ensuring we received the best possible care. Her quick and effective response transformed what could have been a stressful situation into a testament to her professionalism and genuine concern for her clients' well-being. Rabia's organizational skills were impeccable, and every aspect of our journey was thoughtfully planned. From handpicked hotels that perfectly captured the essence of each location to unique excursions that immersed us in the local culture, Rabia's attention to detail was evident throughout. It was evident that she poured her heart and soul into organizing a trip that would leave a lasting impression on us. Thanks to Rabia, our travel experience transcended the ordinary and became an extraordinary adventure that we will cherish forever. We wholeheartedly recommend Rabia to anyone seeking a travel advisor who not only delivers an impeccable itinerary but also ensures that every step of the journey is met with care and dedication. If you're dreaming of a trip of a lifetime, Rabia is the travel advisor who can turn that dream into a reality.

Oh my gosh, we had a fabulous trip! Thank you so much for all your work to plan it. :) Overall, the trip was perfectly ordered and really nicely paced - thank you! Everyone was really beyond happy with the whole trip - and said it was worth every penny. They don’t want to travel without porters in the airport any more ;) We can’t thank you enough for making that trip so wonderful -- and easy. I will absolutely reach out next time we’re planning another vacation…!

Rabia is an absolutely fantastic travel advisor. This is the second trip she has helped me plan, and on both occasions Rabia has been incredibly responsive, thoughtful in providing diverse area, hotels, and excursion recommendations that best suit the overall goal & theme of my trip, and thorough in ensuring every detail requested is executed within a timely manner (i.e. transportation to / from airports, between locations, activities, etc.), as well as going above and beyond with kind touches during my stays. In addition, Rabia is proactive in suggesting destinations / travel planning, pointing out when flight deals come across her desk. I certainly plan to continue to work with Rabia for future holidays.
