An enthusiasm for travel coupled with meticulous attention to detail drives Courtenay’s unwavering commitment to crafting travel experiences for each and every client.

Courtenay spent the past twenty years raising two daughters and working alongside her husband at their recruiting firm. During this time, she nurtured her interest in the hospitality space by staying in-the-know of the latest travel industry trends, sharing her knowledge with friends and family, and planning extended family trips as a hobby. During one of these adventures, when her sister’s passport had expired, Courtenay navigated the nuances of expedited passport renewal during the holidays seamlessly; her sister was only a day late to the festivities! It was then she knew she needed to make the change to become a travel advisor.

Now, Courtenay channels her passion into meticulously handling every aspect of her clients’ journeys with a thoughtful approach to planning. Whether it’s a familiar destination or an unexplored one, Courtenay dedicates herself to extensive research, ensuring she has comprehensive knowledge to curate the ultimate trip for her clients.

What has been your most memorable travel experience to date?

For me, it’s not always about the destination, but rather the company I keep and the cherished memories we create together. That’s why the multi-generational trips I’ve shared with my family hold a special place in my heart. We take large festive trips every year as a family, visiting Israel to Aspen, we’ve ventured far and wide. These family adventures have strengthened the bonds between grandchildren, despite the distance that separates us living along the Northeast Corridor. Additionally, experiencing travel through the eyes of my children alongside my parents has been especially meaningful to me.

How do you prepare for your trips?

I like to learn about the destination before departing. I invest time in thorough research, exploring the dining options and experiences that are offered by our on the ground partners. Once I arrive, I greatly appreciate the insights shared by the knowledgeable hotel concierge teams. They not only possess valuable local expertise, but also exhibit a remarkable ‘savoir faire’ when it comes to recommendations, making them an exceptional resource.
