Travel that allows you to see with the heart
Hi, I'm Alissa
your vacation planner + travel concierge
Your time is precious, and vacations with loved ones are rare moments to cherish. You have a lot on your plate and don't have the time or bandwidth to plan that perfect getaway.
As your travel designer and advisor, I bring your vision to life and elevate it, allowing you to experience more, enjoy more, and learn more—without any of the stress.
As a lifelong educator, experienced traveler, and 'fairy godmother' type, I help you to explore unique destinations, live your best story, and create lasting, soulful memories.
From our first get-to-know-you call to your return home, my goal is to provide a smooth, enjoyable planning journey that allows you to savor the anticipation of your trip, and saves you time and eliminates frustration. I will deliver a custom itinerary tailored exclusively to your uniqueness. Granting wishes is my love language.
From an early age, I was captivated by stories of my grandparents’ adventures around the globe.
Their tales of exotic landscapes, diverse cultures, and daring explorations sparked a curiosity in me that has only grown stronger with time.
That spark inspired me to study several languages, opening the door for me to embark on my first transformative trip abroad to France at age 16. Those three weeks changed my perspective forever, awakening a passion for discovery that still drives me today.
I shared this love for language and culture as a French teacher for over 20 years, with countless students. Organizing and leading more than a dozen student trips to France gave me the joy of watching others experience the thrill of stepping into a new world for the first time.
Travel, for me, is an opportunity to connect deeply with people, perspectives, and passions.
Whether scuba diving in the Caribbean, practicing contemporary dance and parkour in Denmark, hiking in Scotland, exploring the vibrant art and theater scenes of London, shopping flea markets in Paris, or making perfume in between winery tours in Provence, every trip I've taken has shaped who I am and opened doors to lifelong learning and growth.
As your travel advisor, I bring that same sense of wonder and connection to every journey I help create. I believe travel is a chance to discover not only the world but also yourself. Together, we’ll design experiences that inspire curiosity, foster meaningful connections, and leave you with memories to treasure forever. Let’s make your next adventure unforgettable.
