My favorite spot in Lisbon, Portugal

Hello! I'm Tania. Though I only recently started in the travel industry, I'm an avid traveler and have been planning and curating travel experiences for myself, family and friends for as long as I can remember. I previously worked in international development - mostly in Cambodia and Brazil - so I am also very familiar with the ins and outs of travel - both here in the U.S. and internationally. As an academic and former humanitarian worker, I am very committed to ethical and sustainable travel and incorporate this in my travel planning everywhere possible.

I am professional, detail-oriented and a natural-born planner. I specialize in solo travel, romantic getaways and family vacations. Whether that's going away with your partner for food and wine in Southern Spain, planning a family adventure to Southeast Asia, or going to a large family reunion or destination wedding in Mexico. Because I've lived and worked overseas as a single person, with my partner, and then with as a parent with kids - I have experience with all types of travel, with all types of group dynamics! 

My favorite trips to plan and curate include those that balance cultural experiences, nature, and rest and relaxation! As a creative and artistic person, I enjoy thinking about the design, cultural heritage and visual aesthetics of places I stay and visit. I also love food, wine and bookstores - looking for these wherever I visit. During the pandemic my family and I did an amazing 6 week road trip across the U.S. and visited national parks and historical sites across the country - some nights we "glamped," some we stayed in lodges, and others we stayed in upscale urban hotels. It was fun to mix it up and was definitely one of the best family trips we've ever done together.

Some of my other fondest memories of travel have been in Southeast Asia - I got the chance to travel across the region and witness all kinds of people, places and historical sites - including shoestring budget attractions to high luxury resorts. Growing up in California, I also have great memories of traveling up and down the state, visiting beautiful parks, beaches, and urban centers.

I would love to work with you! Whether you are looking to travel across the world for some adventure, go on an adults only cruise, lay on the beach in Mexico, explore national parks, or plan a full-on Disney vacation - my goal is to listen to your wants/needs, nail down the details and provide some insight into how to plan your itinerary.

Family Disney trip with ease!
Reviewed By Allexa - Sacramento, California | Traveled to Disneyland ~ California ~ USA
Tania was SO helpful in getting our Disneyland trip booked! We were a group of 6 people traveling for 7 days, and Tania made the whole thing so easy. She got us a great deal on our hotel, we loved where we stayed, and she was super knowledgeable with Disney tips and other local recommendations. We’ve already reached out to her about our next trip!

A sports tournament that felt like a vacation
Reviewed By Figs - Sacramento, CA | Traveled to San Jose ~ California ~ USA
Tania was amazing! She found a gorgeous place for us to stay near my kids soccer tournament location, for an amazing price, and gave me a summary of nearby attractions. This trip felt like a dream! Kids happy, and at the end of the long soccer day we retreated to this beautiful hotel where we enjoyed family time and the beautiful amenities and atmosphere of the hotel. Tania was available for my questions during my trip and helped ensure that my experience as the family nurturer was just as enjoyable as it was for the rest of my family.

"Thank you for your review! I'm so glad you and your family had such a great time and enjoyed the beauty and amenities of the hotel as a break away from the soccer tournament. :D "
