Sarah Halpern

New York
12 Years of experience

Sarah’s passion for travel began at an early age when she took part in a high school study abroad program in Brittany, France.

After university, she moved to London to teach and spent the next two and a half years traveling extensively throughout Europe. A native New Yorker, Sarah moved home and spent the next six years working in finance and public relations roles with a focus on corporate travel, events, and business development.

After years of planning corporate travel, leisure vacations, honeymoons, and golf weekends, Sarah decided to transform her passion for travel into a full time job. When she is not custom designing her clients itineraries and travel experiences, Sarah can be found exploring new destinations throughout the world. She has never lost her wanderlust and as a rule travels to at least two new countries each year. In addition to exploring the culture, food, adventures and unique experiences that every new destination has to offer Sarah and her husband, a golf course rater, try to visit the best courses in every new place they travel!

Sarah enjoys building lifelong travel relationships with her clients and tailors all of the itineraries she designs to her individual clients specific and unique styles and preferences. Sarah works with both corporate and leisure travelers, but specializes in honeymoons and luxury adventure travel as well as multi generational family trips.

Travel Tip

  • Allow yourself to truly shed your day to day routine when you travel. If you love structure and planning everything, leave a few days to chance. Wander and try something new or unexpected. Let go of any preconceived notions of yourself and find out who you are and what you enjoy in a totally new place and environment. You may be surprised! On a practical note, I always travel with an eye mask, and shoes that are comfortable and easy to take on and off for the plane. It also helps to pack based on a color scheme so everything in your suitcase can be mixed and matched!

Testimonials

Sarah has proven to be invaluable to our family. We are very frequent business and leisure travelers who have always booked our own travel. Working with Sarah has turned our travel experience into a completely turn key process. We are no longer spending valuable time while not traveling seeking out the best package, communicating our requests to the hotel, or booking activities. Sarah has taken over all of our travel planning and we can't imagine going back.

Sarah is my go-to consultant for all trips! I have passed her name on to a number of friends who have all used her services and felt the same. She is patient, knowledgeable and has great attention to detail. She knows my "taste" and continues to share travel recommendations that align with these tastes in all trips we book!

-Stephanie Biegel

Sarah is a traveler's dream come true! After planning the most perfect honeymoon for my husband and me to Japan and Bali, we were hooked. Since then, she's curated incredible trips for us to Africa, Israel, Italy, Hawaii, and Mexico. Each itinerary has been seamless, authentic, and tailored to our interests with fantastic local guides, amazing food, and so much fun. Sarah even checks in while you're traveling to make sure the experience is meeting your expectations. We can no longer plan a trip without her and have turned our family and friends on to her services, who love her as well. If you're looking for a top-notch personalized vacation without the stress of planning, you'd be crazy not to work with Sarah!

We recently returned from Sicily where Sarah had helped us with our reservations at a beautiful hotel in Taormina. Sarah was so supportive and patient with our every request. She followed through and investigated a number of different properties to find the perfect hotel and room for us. Because of Sarah we stayed in a gorgeous quiet room with a veranda facing both the water and Mt Etna. Every evening we would enjoy this incredible vista with our books and a glass of Sicilian wine! Sarah was always prompt in answering our questions and never made us feel like we were requesting too much of her. We have already used her again to plan our family vacation for 8 people to the Galapagos which had multiple different parts including air travel from different cities, multiple cabins on the boat, insurance issues, etc. Again, everything went smoothly. I could not recommend her more if you, like me, appreciate prompt knowledgeable, efficient service with graciousness.

This is the second trip Sarah has planned for us, and we have no doubt we will use her in the future. As soon as we got engaged, we began talking honeymoon ideas. We reached out to Sarah because she planned an amazing trip to Scotland for us in 2017. She helped us land on Italy after suggesting a couple of places based on our interests and helped us choose Florence and Tuscany. She tailored our trip based on activities we were interested in and arranged our transportation and lodging during our weeklong vacation. Let me tell you, Sarah knocked it out of the park. From the truffle hunting, to the cooking class, to the horseback riding, we had the best of the best experiences. Our hotels were top shelf and we were treated like royalty during our stay. Apart from a small snafu in getting to Italy due to flight delays, our honeymoon was a dream come true. Sarah answered emails right away, was flexible with us, and made sure we were well taken care of. Thanks so much for making our honeymoon an unforgettable experience.
