Amina believes that luxury travel must encompass three key components: exclusive access, unique experiences, and exceptional service.

This ethos is built on Amina’s more than 15-year career as a luxury beauty and fashion executive where she learned that what consumers truly crave is personalization. After almost two decades of experience creating marketing campaigns and customer profiles, Amina understood that luxury is not one size fits all. From holidays spent escaping Wisconsin winters for the Caribbean to studying in China, Argentina, and France during her time as a Tulane University MBA student, Amina transformed a love of travel and organization into a career that lets her create immersive and authentic travel experiences for clients. Her goal is to get to know her clients as the individuals that they are, so that she can create their moment of luxury, as they define it, anywhere in the world. Amina accomplishes this by learning her clients’ goals, priorities, and preferences for each trip, understanding that they may shift over time.

Amina has traveled extensively to 27 countries and continues to gather firsthand experience for her clients by visiting two new countries each year. She is also a hotel enthusiast, staying on average 100 nights in five-star hotels annually. While Amina likes to say that her specialty is understanding her client’s needs and not a specific destination, as a Caribbean specialist she enjoys sending clients to “unspoiled” islands like Dominica, Canouan, and Nevis. Amina is a proponent of visiting the same destination multiple times to better understand the local culture, and always encourages clients to learn about a destination through its cuisine and cocktails.

What is your most memorable travel experience?

The moment I hit the water after jumping off my overwater bungalow in Bora Bora is something I’ll never forget. French Polynesia was the number one destination on my bucket list and it was more spectacular than I ever imagined. When I got to Moorea, I thought I was in paradise and then I stepped onto Bora Bora and I completely understood why it’s ranked as a top destination for so many people. From breakfast being delivered via a traditional Proa boat to swimming with stingrays and sharks, this trip was the perfect mix of relaxation, adventure, and exploration.

What does your perfect vacation day look like?

My dream vacation day begins with waking up to a view of the ocean around 10am, just in time to have breakfast delivered with a mimosa made with fresh-squeezed orange juice. Then, I’d venture out with a private guide to explore the city center with stops at locally-owned boutiques, art galleries, and important cultural sites. After lunch at a restaurant frequented by locals, I’d grab a book from my room before heading down to the beach. The next four hours would consist of me jumping waves, sipping on craft cocktails, collecting seashells, and pretending to read my book while I’m actually dozing off! After a quick outfit change, it’s time to take a chef-led cooking class followed by live music at an intimate venue.

Travel Tip

  • If you need to bring back gifts for family and friends or want to replicate a dish you had while on vacation, stop by the local grocery store at your destination and look for locally made tags on items like candy, snack foods, tea, coffee, and condiments.

Testimonials

What an amazing trip! We seriously had the best time. We are NEVER that adventurous. Normally it's lay on the beach a couple days, go fishing, and then back to the beach lol. We were so exhausted every day we got back to the hotel. We cannot thank you enough for planning this trip for us. Thank you again and we will definitely be in touch on our next big trip!
