Travel style

My love affair with travel began with a passion for exploring new places, meeting new people and immersing myself in different cultures. My vacation style is truly versatile — I enjoy both relaxing by the water or activity-based adventures. Whether it's lounging by the water, visiting museums, eating at the best restaurants, sipping a craft cocktail, visiting museums, fitness activities or shopping, I'm all in.

Growing up, I was always extremely curious about people and cultures. I grew up on the Canadian border and spent a good amount of time between Canada and Buffalo, so I was exposed to another country and culture from an early age. I spent four months living in Italy and have embraced the luxury of upscale hotels throughout Europe, while also spending time in hostels and rentals. Even amid COVID, I decided to head down to Florida to spend time working remotely in Miami. I spent three years living in New York City and am now based in Sydney, Australia, so I’ve spent many years jumping between city and beach life.

With a travel portfolio spanning from indulging in high-end culinary experiences to activity-based travel, I have the knowledge to craft custom travel experiences tailored just for you. I am dedicated to curating your ideal journey, ensuring the creation of unforgettable memories, whether it involves a quiet retreat or exploring a vibrant city. From planning couples' getaways to coordinating group trips to family-based travel, I'm well-equipped to handle any type of adventure you throw my way!

Feel free to get in touch below if you need assistance booking your trip or if you're on the lookout for travel inspiration — I'm here to help. While my specialties lie in Australia and Spain, I'm happy to lend a hand with any travel planning needs.

Samantha's reviews

Samantha was wonderful. For each leg of our trip she offered different hotel options based on price and location, activities and food recommendations. All were fantastic. Samantha had nice touches for us at each hotel for our honeymoon which was a nice surprise. Finally, when we had a miscommunication on the bill at one of our hotels she helped us get it sorted which was above and beyond. Highly recommend Samantha for travel planning!

Samantha was great to work with when planning this trip. We might not have found the Renaissance without her and we loved it!

Samantha was great as she helped us find this location based on our criteria for price, location, and what we wanted for our family. She took care of all the details for us and made it super easy!

Samantha was so easy to work with that she has booked a second trip for us in NYC.
