Recognized as a TravelPulse 40 Under 40 Honoree

40 Under 40 Honoree

In 2025, I was honored to be named one of TravelPulse’s 40 Under 40, a national recognition celebrating the rising stars shaping the future of the travel industry. This annual list highlights 20 advisors and 20 supplier representatives who demonstrate innovation, leadership, and an unwavering dedication to their clients—and I’m deeply proud to be among them.

"Estel works to understand her clients as people, not just travelers—their interests, preferences, and even the things they don’t say outright. That insight allows Estel to craft highly customized itineraries with thoughtful, often unexpected touches: a private after-hours temple visit, a tucked-away tea ceremony, or a modern art gallery hidden in an alleyway.

Each trip becomes a reflection of who they are, layered with cultural depth, sensory detail, and seamless execution—all with the elevated service they expect from a luxury experience. This intentional, personalized approach has led to her business growing steadily through word of mouth, as clients return and refer others who are looking for something more meaningful than just a vacation.”

For my clients, this recognition reflects more than an award—it represents the personalized care, global expertise, and attention to detail that go into every itinerary I design. From sunset yacht charters off the Greek Isles to private foodie experiences in Vietnam, my goal is to craft journeys that feel effortless, authentic, and unforgettable.

My work continues to be shaped by firsthand experiences around the world—each trip deepening my understanding of how to connect travelers with places and people in a more intentional way.

"What sets her apart as a travel advisor is the way she blends deep destination expertise with a highly personal approach to luxury travel.”

Being part of TravelPulse’s 40 Under 40 is a reminder of why I love what I do: turning inspiration into experiences that go far beyond the ordinary.
