Profile details
About
Both a super-luxe and a "wow, I discovered the greatest pensione for $250/night" type of traveler. I discover off-the-beaten-path spots from designer-owned boutique hotels to over-the-top luxury properties. I create fully customized itineraries to enhance your travel experience. I also collaborate with corporate partners and help to create destination events (domestic and overseas).
Travel style
A global traveler with a taste for quiet poolside naps balanced by museum visits, cooking classes and boat excursions. I value an easy day relaxing and reading in a tranquil space as much as a day with a private guide visiting a private museum. I love to get lost in small towns and wander to discover special boutiques and eateries. No plans — "il dolce far niente" (the sweetness of doing nothing). No matter what, my day always starts with a fantastic breakfast spread!

I will definitely contact Rebecca to help us plan our next trip. First, we loved every hotel that she helped us choose, which anchored our trip so nicely. Then she provided a varied and fun selection of activities to choose in each location. We had several great experiences planned by her in Rome, including a golf cart tour, a cooking class, and an early tour of the Vatican. She got us all the train tickets and arranged for us to have a memorable time in Modena that included a once-in-a-lifetime dinner at Francescana at Casa Maria Luigia and a visit to a dairy farm to see the production of Parmigiano Reggiano. We then went to Venice, where we stayed in a wonderful hotel and had a delightful food tour. She looked after every detail, including airport and train station transfers, and she was available for questions while we were on the trip. She even made us a dinner reservation while we were traveling and our train was late. Finally, Rebecca was attentive to our budget, which I really appreciated. Rebecca's support made our trip memorable, fun, worry-free, and seamless.

Rebecca was a delight to work with! She was so responsive to any questions or concerns I had throughout our process. She went above and beyond to communicate with the hotel for all of our wedding needs for the weekend. There were a lot of logistics involved in the process and she made it a breeze. Cannot recommend her enough for your travel needs!
