Travel style

A city-girl who thrives on finding unique places and experiences. The history, art, architecture and human stories we learn while traveling excite me. I'm obsessed with beautifully designed hotels, trying new foods, testing my language skills and soaking in the culture of new and unique places. Picture this: a dream itinerary where you’ll indulge in exquisite hotels, soak up history and culture, explore museums, art galleries and quirky local boutiques, all while sipping coffee in cozy cafes and chatting with the friendly locals. Sounds delightful, right?

Sam's reviews

“Sam was delightful and I have already engaged her for my next trip to Sri Lanka. Along the way, she was there to help with my questions as well as make changes. I am so happy to have found her.”

Sam was exceptionally professional and thorough with our booking. There was a lovely welcome card in the room and she arranged a few complimentary extra's with the hotel that were greatly appreciated.

Sam was a pleasure to work with. She helped us land exactly where we wanted to be.

We can’t say enough about how incredible Sam was in planning our dream vacation to Cambodia and Thailand! From the very beginning, Sam listened to what we wanted and made planning our Cambodia & Thailand trip effortless. She found us the most incredible hotels that were both luxurious and family-friendly. Thanks to her, we were treated with—early check-ins, complimentary breakfasts, and even room upgrades that made our stays extra special. Sam also recommended sightseeing schedules, tours, and activities for our family. If you want a stress-free, unforgettable trip, please contact Sam. She is kind, knowledgable, experienced, and efficient! We can’t wait to plan our next adventure with her.
