Driven by her appreciation for wine and adventure, Samantha crafts itineraries that help clients slow down, savor the moment, and connect deeply with their chosen destination.

A high school trip to Germany sparked Samantha’s passion for travel, opening her eyes to the power of experiencing new cultures. After spending nine years helping startups build their HR functions, she realized that what truly excited her was not just helping people grow their careers—but helping them explore the world. This realization led her to pursue a career in the travel industry, where she could blend her love of planning with her desire to create enriching experiences for others.

Her own travels have taken her from trekking to Machu Picchu, camping atop a volcano in Guatemala, road-tripping across US national parks, and spotting wildlife on safari in Africa. As a sommelier, Samantha also has a deep passion for food and wine, which influences many of the experiences she curates. Samantha believes the best trips aren’t about seeing as many places as possible but embracing the unexpected, and truly connecting with a destination.

Samantha takes a highly personalized and collaborative approach when working on trips, ensuring that every itinerary reflects her clients’ unique interests and travel style. With strong attention to detail, insider knowledge, and a passion for uncovering extraordinary experiences, she helps her clients travel with confidence—creating journeys that are seamless, enriching, and unforgettable.

What has been your most memorable travel experience to date?

It’s hard to choose, but the trip I think about most often is my honeymoon to South Africa. Early morning game drives were such a special experience—the quiet, the sunrise, and the wildlife waking up around us. One of the highlights was when our lodge surprised us with a champagne breakfast in the bush, where we enjoyed a delicious meal while watching hippos in the water. It was truly unforgettable.

Which destinations are you looking forward to visiting? Why?

More of Central and South America! Every time I visit, I’m blown away by the distinct character of each region and fall even more in love with it. There’s so much to explore—from diverse terrain to ancient ruins. Even better, much of the area is a relatively quick flight from the U.S., and some incredible wines are being produced in up-and-coming regions!
