Bucket List Destination & Group Travel Specialist

Hi there!Nice to (virtually) meet you.

I’m Carissa—a mom, wife, professional chaos coordinator, and lover of all things travel.

Originally from New York and now living in Texas, I’ve always believed that life’s best memories are made when we step outside our comfort zones and explore the world. In August 2021, I turned my passion for adventure into Hiraya Holidays. Inspired by the Filipino word “hiraya”—which means “the fruit of one’s dreams, wishes, or aspirations”—our mission is to transform your travel dreams into unforgettable realities.

At Hiraya Holidays, we specialize in crafting bucket-list adventures and meaningful travel experiences. Whether you’re chasing the Northern Lights, wandering through Europe’s ancient streets, or diving into tropical escapes, we’re here to create journeys that are as unique as you are.

We believe travel should be accessible, affordable, and inspiring for everyone who dreams of seeing the world. That’s why we’re dedicated to designing trips that offer incredible value and leave you with memories to last a lifetime.

Let’s make your travel dreams come true—because life is too short to stay in one place. Contact me today!
