“TRAVEL MAKES ONE MODEST, YOU SEE WHAT A TINY PLACE YOU OCCUPY IN THE WORLD.”
Marcia Hellman
As a global citizen who has spent over twenty-five years in the hospitality industry, I believe I am uniquely qualified to help with your desire to explore new places and satisfy your thirst for knowledge. Whether you are planning something far in advance or dropping everything for a last minute trip, I can make your travel experience something to remember. Are you traveling alone, with family and friends, multi-generations? I have done all these types of trips myself. I know the stress that can be involved and the personalization and flexibility that is needed to accommodate everyones needs, which is why I offer consistent and dependable concierge-style service and planning. Be it a quiet getaway or a big, bold, unique, share-worthy experience - when you partner with me, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy, knowing you are in great hands.

I joined Sonder Travel as a passion project born from my love of exploring the world. Travel has always been a source of inspiration and joy for me—whether it's wandering the sun-soaked coastlines from Portugal to Mallorca, getting lost in the historic charm of Italy, or sipping coffee in a quiet café in Croatia.
Last year, I spent four unforgettable months immersed in the beauty of Europe, experiencing life as a local across cities and coastlines. I've also ventured farther afield to Morocco, Thailand, Costa Rica, and beyond—always seeking out authentic experiences, hidden gems, and the kind of memories that stay with you forever.
My goal is simple: to help others discover the world in a way that feels personal, meaningful, and exciting. Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, or a once-in-a-lifetime trip, or interested in Medical Tourism. I’d love to help make it seamless and special.

Having ventured across many continents and cultures, I merge my personal travel background with exceptional organizational skills and an eye for the meaningful details to support our clients in every aspect of planning their dream vacation.
My passion for coordinating travel developed through crafting my own adventures, including my thoughtfully designed destination wedding throughout Oaxaca's cultural centers and coastal havens, as well as navigating Southeast Asia's diverse terrain from northern mountains to southern tropics and metropolitan cities. These experiences (to name a few) have taught me how thoughtful planning transforms good trips into unforgettable experiences.
It's a privilege to bring our clients' travel visions to fruition, elevating them by weaving in meaningful connections and perfectly timed moments.
