Travel style
My travel style is culture-driven and locally focused, while always as relaxed and flexible. When I visit a place, I want to experience what a local resident would highlight, as if taking a close friend through their hometown. I love cultural exchange and challenging myself to learn along the way, while mainly working towards my next meal, coffee or glass of wine! Most of all, I look to embrace travel as an opportunity to see myself and the world through a new lens, and return home again refreshed.

Stephanie's reviews
Stephanie was INCREDIBLE! This was my first time working with Steph on a trip and she exceeded all of my expectations when booking. I've never worked with any kind of travel consultant before, and because of how helpful she was when booking I am really looking forward to doing it again. Steph found multiple rental options for us in the dates that we requested that were amazing and way below our budget--and while I was rental inclined at first, the off-season pricing on The Lake House was really hard to pass up. And I never would have known about the winter deals or the property had it not been for Steph! My partner and I have never been to a property like that together and it made for a really special trip where we knew that the details of our stay had been cared for very diligently. There was a lot of attention to detail that went into the planning of this with Steph, and she absolutely killed it. From following up with me in the days prior, to being told that she had called to follow up with the hotel before we arrived when we checked it, we felt very taken care of with Steph and had a very unforgettable trip. We are so appreciative, she's the best!

Stephanie guided us to the most relaxing and luxurious, yet well priced, hotel for our baby moon. She made sure to hook it up too! We were treated to massages, a bottle of wine, and snacks. The room was ready early and she had prepped everything for us so it was relaxation and bliss upon arrival. For example, she had already informed them of my food allergies and limitations to ensure it wouldn't be a problem to dine on site AND she got local recommendations near by too. I would def use and recommend Stephanie again when traveling with special occasions in mind.
