Travel style
I'm a planner at heart, and I approach every trip with the same enthusiasm and attention to detail. For me, travel is about more than just reaching a destination—it’s about creating moments that stay with you long after the trip is over. Some of my favorite memories include a hole-in-the-wall restaurant serving the world’s best rigatoni, a local "Ape" car tour of Ischia, a scarf painting class in Lyon, a cooking class overlooking the Amalfi Coast, a paella class in Barcelona, a walking food tour in Lisbon, and even making Chantilly cream in Chantilly (clearly, most of my favorite memories are food-related!). Whether it’s the right hotel, the perfect activity (or the perfect meal!), or those special details that make a trip unforgettable, I focus on bringing it all together for an effortless, memorable journey.

Sarah's reviews
Sarah was quick to help me book my trip with not a lot of notice. I appreciate how she selects a few options for hotels so I can read about them and choose myself. Sarah is very responsive to follow up questions too!

This is the second time Sarah has helped me out with travel arrangements for my family. She is an exceptionally organized and clear communicator. I felt like we were in good hands with her. I will definitely use Sarah again, especially when we have more complicated travel plans as I know she will shine!

Sarah was the best part of planning this trip!! We had been wanting to travel somewhere new and Sarah made the entire process so beyond easy!! Sarah always brought great ideas and options for us to select! We probably won’t plan another trip without her! She was very responsive, quick to adapt as we changed our minds, excited for us, and took great care of my food allergies!

Our experience at Octant Douro Valley was nothing short of exceptional, and we owe a BIG thank you to Sarah Young for making it even more special. From the start, Sarah’s expertise and strong relationship with the hotel were evident. She went above and beyond to secure us a stunning room upgrade with breathtaking views of the Douro River — waking up to that view each morning truly felt like a dream. To top it off, Sarah also arranged two complimentary 50-minute massages, which quickly became one of the highlights of our trip. Her thoughtful recommendations and attention to detail made everything seamless and stress-free. I can’t recommend Sarah enough — she turned an already exciting getaway into an unforgettable experience. Thank you, Sarah, for helping us create such wonderful memories!
