Travel style

An ideal day of travel for me begins with exploring a new city, experiencing its vibrant culture and uncovering hidden gems known only to locals. Whether wandering through bustling markets, admiring architectural marvels or savoring the flavors of local cuisine, I believe that the true essence of a destination lies in the authentic experiences it offers. When I'm not out exploring, you can often find me unwinding on a sunny beach, enjoying some freshly caught seafood and a glass of vino.

Tessa's reviews

Tessa planned the most amazing trip for us, asking us the right questions to make sure she planned the perfect trip. Working with her was the best decision! She always answered us right away. We took her recommendations into account and are so happy we did! We can’t wait to book our next trip with her!

Tessa exceeded our expectations for a travel advisor. At the outset, we spoke about visiting boutique properties with a great vibe for our 10 day trip to Italy and she knocked it out of the park, suggesting multiple hotels and itinerary options that were exactly on point and within our target price range. We keep saying our Italy trip was the best vacation we have ever taken!!

Tessa was so helpful and accommodating to us while planning our trip. She helped us secure discounted rates, included breakfast, and also coordinated a welcome dessert when we arrived to our room — great kickoff to a great trip! Really appreciate her thoughtfulness and responsiveness.

Our honeymoon in Hawaii was truly spectacular, and it’s all thanks to Tessa. From the very start, she went above and beyond to ensure every detail of our trip was perfect. She meticulously helped us choose the ideal hotel that met all our needs and preferences, setting the stage for an amazing stay. Her local insights were invaluable—she provided us with a plethora of recommendations for things to do and places to visit with our rental car, turning every day into an adventure. One of the highlights was securing a sunrise reservation for Haleakala, which was notoriously hard to get. This gesture alone made our trip extraordinarily special. Additionally, her practical advice on what to pack, when to leave, and detailed directions for each activity ensured we were well-prepared and made the most out of our trip. Her thoughtful planning and personalized touches truly made our honeymoon unforgettable. We can’t thank her enough for making our dream vacation come to life. If you’re looking for a travel advisor who will deliver exceptional service and create an extraordinary travel experience, look no further!
