About Me

A perfect day in Dubrovnik!
A perfect day in Dubrovnik!

But what sets me apart as your Croatia travel expert?

From my own explorations of the charming streets of Dubrovnik to my ventures to picturesque islands like Hvar and Korcula, I have had the joy of crafting unforgettable experiences for loved ones who accompanied me on my Croatian adventures. This invaluable firsthand experience has granted me a deep understanding of Croatia, enabling me to curate personalized itineraries that beautifully capture the essence of this extraordinary destination. 

What can you do in Croatia?

Start by exploring the breathtaking coastline. From the iconic walled city of Dubrovnik to the picturesque towns of Split and Zadar, Croatia offers a Mediterranean paradise with crystal-clear waters and charming coastal towns. Wander through the ancient streets, discover historical landmarks, and soak up the sun on the stunning beaches.

But Croatia isn't just about its coastline—it's also a treasure trove of history and culture. I recommend visiting the historic city of Zagreb, where you can explore its charming old town, visit fascinating museums, and experience the vibrant local arts scene. Don't miss the opportunity to discover the ancient Roman ruins in Pula or explore the enchanting Plitvice Lakes National Park, with its cascading waterfalls and emerald-green lakes.

Of course, no visit to Croatia is complete without indulging in its mouthwatering cuisine. From fresh seafood delicacies to hearty traditional dishes like Cevapi and Peka, your taste buds are in for a treat. And let's not forget about the world-class wines that Croatia has to offer. I'll ensure you sample the finest local flavors by recommending the best restaurants and wineries where you can savor the country's culinary delights.

When it comes to accommodations, you can count on me to take care of everything. Whether you prefer a luxurious seaside resort or a cozy boutique hotel nestled in the heart of a historic town, I'll handpick the perfect option to match your preferences.

From the idyllic islands of Hvar and Korcula to the cultural hubs of Dubrovnik and Split, your stay in Croatia will be nothing short of extraordinary.

Unforgettable trip!
Reviewed By Lola - Los Angeles, Ca | Traveled to Greece ~ Europe
My trip to Greece was truly unforgettable because of Monica! Monica created an amazing experience for my husband and I on our honeymoon. It was my first stress-free trip because Monica went above and beyond to make sure that everything was perfect. We had the best food, went sightseeing, and did some non-tourist like stuff that only the locals would know about. We truly can’t thank Monica enough!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Mexico City
Reviewed By Gemma - San Diego, CA | Traveled to Mexico City ~ Mexico D.F. ~ Mexico
Monica was a gem! She was so responsive and thoughtful throughout the entire process of planning our trip. My partner and I were excited to travel to Mexico City but had no idea where to stay, eat, etc. She planned the perfect trip! Monica was also really responsive to our messages while we were in Mexico City. I felt like I could count on her if I needed anything. She curated such a wonderful trip with a balance of site seeing, night life, and street tacos and lucha libre!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Our Favorite Vacation!
Reviewed By Jon - Los Angeles, CA | Traveled to Portugal ~ Europe
Monica planned an amazing trip to Portugal for my family a few months ago. We loved everything about our trip! The food was great, the hotels were excellent, and the country itself was incredible. Monica listened to our preferences and made sure to incorporate restaurants that were vegan-friendly, outdoor activities, and arranged for amazing guides. It was very important to us that all of our activities were private, and that's exactly what we got. The trip was well-organized and truly one of the best vacations we have ever had.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Core Memories
Reviewed By Harper - Los Angeles | Traveled to Greece ~ Europe
Monica was wonderful! She gave me the best suggestions for brunch and dinners and helped coordinate a wonderful and luxurious stay! Since it was our first time in Greece I was unsure what to expect and I needed help. I communicated what I needed/wanted out of my trip and accommodations and Monica delivered beyond my expectations AND within budget- so thankful for this experience and for Monica’s guidance and coordination. I was also appreciative that when I had questions, especially while we were there, she was quick to respond- my family and I def. Made some core memories on this trip
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    "As the founder of a tech startup, I can honestly say our team retreat in Mexico City was a game-changer. Monica handled everything flawlessly, from hotels to exciting activities like the bike taco tour and private mezcal tasting, even booking office space for us to work. Our team bonded over Lucha Libre matches and loved all the dinner reservations we had each night. The entire experience was seamless and truly unforgettable.
