Milestone Celebration Luxury Travel Agent Expert
I specialize in curating luxury travel experiences that celebrate life’s most meaningful moments—honeymoons, anniversaries, birthdays, proposals, retirements, or simply “just because.” Whether it’s a romantic overwater bungalow in the South Pacific, a private wine tour through Portugal, exploring the diverse terrains of Australia, or a multi-generational milestone trip in the Caribbean, I design seamless, high-touch itineraries that reflect your vision, style, and story.
I recently got back from an incredible trip to Sri Lanka, and it is a destination loaded with special moments just waiting for you to experience.
With firsthand travel expertise and trusted global connections, I craft every journey with intention, elegance, and unforgettable detail. Your next celebration deserves more than a trip—it deserves an experience of a lifetime.

Few destinations move you the way Sri Lanka does. I spent 12 extraordinary days on the island, traveling from misty mountains to palm-fringed coasts, sacred temples to storied tea estates—each moment deepening my connection to this culturally rich and vibrantly diverse country.

The best honeymoon we could have asked for!
Reviewed By Andrew - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania | Traveled to St Lucia | South Africa | Africa
We loved every second of our honeymoon at Sandals Regency La Toc in St. Lucia! Dafny was absolutely incredible from start to finish—so knowledgeable, patient, and dedicated to helping us plan the perfect trip. She made the entire process seamless and stress-free, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I can’t recommend Dafny or Regency La Toc enough, and we’ll definitely be booking through her again in the future!

Amazing Trip Around Scotland
Reviewed By SLV - Tacoma, WA | Traveled to Scotland | Europe
Dafny planned an amazing vacation to Scotland for my wife and I. She asked us questions about what we were hoping to see and what types of experiences we enjoyed, and it was clear that she paid attention. She took our responses and crafted a journey that not only took us to things we knew we wanted to visit like Loch Ness, but also found us places to stay (Kinloch Lodge) and other activities to participate (Scotch tasting) in that I never would have thought of myself. She was super quick and pleasant with her communication (her emailed trip overviews are poster-worthy) and an all-around wonderful person to have worked with. She will definitely be my first call for our next journey; thank you Dafny!

Meticulous Planning, Memorable Experiences
Reviewed By Steph D. - Amsterdam | Traveled to France | Europe
Dafny is one of the most thoughtful and well-informed travelers I know. I’ve had the pleasure of exploring a variety of destinations with her help over the years—France, Switzerland, Prague, Las Vegas, the Pacific Northwest—and she always brings the perfect mix of curiosity, organization, and insider savvy to every journey.
She has a real talent for uncovering special places to stay and planning well-paced trips. When a friend got married in Chamonix, France, she suggested I add a few days in Geneva (only an hour away) so I could get over jet lag before the wedding and visit two countries for the price of one.
Her passion for travel and genuine care for people make her an incredible resource—whether you’re dreaming up a big adventure or refining the little details that make a trip unforgettable.
You’re in great hands with Dafny.

The Perfect 25th Wedding Anniversary Trip
Reviewed By Jeff - Aiken, SC | Traveled to Negril | Jamaica | Caribbean
Dafny was a true God send. Life gets busy and as we approach our 25th wedding anniversary we weren’t sure if we could even do a trip like this (sandals, Negril Jamaica) with a son graduating from college and a son graduating from high school as well as aging parents. Working with Dafny gave us the confidence we needed to make it happen. She listened to each of us and was able to help us find the perfect spot. She checked in with us several times and we had so much fun touching base with her after our trip. She is amazing! Our trip was amazing! We had no idea that we even would want a photo shoot, but she scheduled one for us, knowing that it would be a great experience. She was able to help us find the perfect room type in location. I would highly recommend Dafny.

Rail to Sky: Through Sri Lanka’s Tea Country
Two days before we boarded a seaplane in the heart of Sri Lanka’s tea country, we were on a train. The iconic route from Kandy to Hatton is no ordinary ride—it’s a ribbon of track that winds through mist-laced mountains, past waterfalls and emerald slopes, and into another era.
There’s something meditative about train tr...

Unique and Storied Stays in Portugal
Where you stay should be more than a place to sleep. It should be part of the story and provide a sense of place. During a two-week road trip across Portugal—from the vine-laced hills of the Douro Valley to the sun-kissed shores of the Algarve and back up to timeless Lisbon—my husband and I stayed in places that felt less like hotels and more li...
