Los Angeles
5 Years of experience

A natural born jetsetter, Dana thrives on sharing her passion for travel with her community, striving to inspire others to explore the world around them.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, Dana lived in Michigan, NYC, Spain, Australia, and Israel before settling back down in LA. She grew up traveling extensively with her family throughout Israel and Europe, always loving the thrill of exploring new places and learning about different cultures. Some of her favorite memories include walking the Great Wall of China, hiking glaciers in Argentina, hang gliding in New Zealand, snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef, trekking across the Australian Outback, and eating and drinking her way across Tuscany. She loves nothing more than uncovering chic destinations, stylish locales and incredible restaurants.

Following roles in business development and digital marketing in the hospitality design and luxury hotel industries (most recently at The Peninsula Beverly Hills), Dana decided to finally turn her lifetime affinity for travel into a full time job. As a luxury travel advisor, she enjoys designing custom itineraries tailored to her client’s preferences; whether it be a romantic couples weekend, relaxing wellness escape, adventurous family trip or an exotic bucketlist vacation, she’s passionate about her work. Dana leverages her first-hand knowledge of luxury hotels to better guide clients in deciding where to go, seamlessly transforming their dream trips into reality. As she continues to hone her craft and seek out unique destinations and travel experiences for her clients, Dana loves traveling with her husband and two young boys.

Which destinations do you go back to again and again?

I try to visit Israel every summer. The epic beach culture, vibrant culinary scene, thriving nightlife and walkability of Tel Aviv make it a magical place to visit; this Mediterranean paradise should be on everyone’s bucketlist! Napa Valley is my other favorite spot. I take an annual trip with friends to enjoy the picturesque vineyard views, boutique wineries, and gourmet dining. It’s pure heaven for food and wine lovers!

What inspired you to become a travel advisor?

I’ve been researching and planning trips for myself and my family for years, always sharing detailed recommendations with friends. After forging my career in the luxury hotel industry, I decided to finally share my passion for curating itineraries with others, helping clients create memorable vacations and unforgettable experiences.
