Scenic travel destination

CURATED EXPERIENCES • BEAUTIFUL STAYS • SEAMLESS DETAILS

Effortless luxury for the trips that matter.

Family getaways, milestones, couples escapes, a well-earned solo reset. As much or as little as you want handled, from a single hotel booking to the whole itinerary. I also plan team offsites and group celebrations.

What I Plan

Two lanes, one standard: high taste, strong execution, and details that don’t slip.

Personal luxury travel

Couples getaways, family adventures, and milestone travel

Hotel shortlists you’ll actually love, smart routing, dining and experience planning, and the kind of pacing that feels both elevated and easy.

  • Destination & property curation (with perks when available)
  • Itinerary design: active days + downtime that makes sense
  • Transfers, reservations, and support if plans change

Group & corporate

Offsites, team retreats, group celebrations

A single owner for the moving pieces: venue sourcing, room blocks, contract negotiation, vendor coordination, and a detailed schedule that keeps everyone calm.

  • Venue shortlists + availability checks
  • Room blocks, concessions, and contract coordination
  • Transportation, activities, dinners, and schedule support

How I can help

Whether you know exactly where you're going or you're starting from scratch, there's a way to work together that fits.

Hotel-only booking

You know where you want to stay, but want the VIP treatment. Send me the details and I'll handle the booking, using my preferred partner programs to ensure you arrive as a valued guest rather than a reservation number. Advisor-exclusive perks where eligible at no extra cost.

Best for: Any hotel, resort or cruise booking of $2,000+ where the decision is already made.

Complimentary

Curated stays

You know where you're going, you just need the right place to stay. Tell me your priorities and I'll come back with a focused shortlist of hotels or villas tailored to your preferences. No pile of options to sort through, just the ones actually worth booking.

Best for: Trips where the destination's set and you want expert picks on where to stay.

From $100

The whole trip

Hand me the big picture and I'll design the rest: where to go, where to stay, how you get between things, the dinners worth booking and the ones to skip, and a pace that leaves room to actually enjoy it. I'm reachable throughout, and if something goes sideways, I'm on it.

Best for: Multi-stop trips, complex logistics, or anything you'd rather not think about again until you're there.

Varies based on complexity

Planning something for a larger group? I plan leadership and team offsites, milestone celebrations, and multi-family trips, tailored to your needs.

How I Work

Real taste, logistics you can trust, and one point of contact for all of it.

Step 1

Quick intake

You share dates, budget, traveler details, and the vibe. For groups, we’ll cover room count, meeting needs, and priorities.

Step 2

Curate & refine

I do the research and present thoughtfully curated options; we narrow down based on what matters most to you.

Step 3

Plan & execute

I coordinate bookings and details end-to-end, so you can focus on the experience, not the planning.

Step 4

Show up & enjoy

Once you’re on the ground, I stay reachable for questions, changes, or anything that comes up. I’m always in your corner.

About me

Alina working at her desk

I grew up between Russia and New York, and didn't get the chance to travel internationally until college, where I made up for it by living in France and Japan. I fell in love with traveling fast and hard – there's nothing I love more than the first few days somewhere, learning the streets, finding where everyone actually eats, watching a place turn from strange to familiar. Forty-five-plus countries later, I'm still happiest with a boarding pass in hand.

I studied international relations at Yale and earned an MBA from Wharton, and spent 15 years in finance, consulting, and operations at Fortune 500 companies and high-growth startups – the kind of work that trains you to stay two steps ahead of a problem. The same instinct that catches a gap in a launch plan catches the three-hour transfer nobody mentioned, or the "family resort" whose kids' club is just a room with a TV. I didn't get much PTO, so I made the absolute most of it, and became a luxury hotel addict in the process.

Now I bring that toolkit to every trip I build: connecting the dots, staying two steps ahead of the problems, and handling the parts my clients don't want to think about. I work with families, couples, and solo travelers – some who know exactly where they're going, some who have no idea where to start. What they share is that they want the trip, not the research and the logistics. Luckily, I love that part.

Whatever you want out of your travels – adventure, rest, perspective, stories you'll tell for years – you get more of it when someone else is holding the pieces. That's the trip you were actually picturing.

I'd love to help you plan something worth talking about.
