Liana has been planning itineraries and traveling the world for as long as she can remember.
What started as an unlikely obsession with luxury hotels when she was just a teenager, grew into a true passion for the travel industry that has continued in earnest throughout her entire personal and professional life. Liana completed her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Hospitality Management from Cornell University and had a 10-year career working in luxury hotels in New York City with companies such as Rosewood and Four Seasons. Liana decided in 2018 to make the leap and begin booking travel full-time to put her lifelong knowledge and passion for travel to work for her clients.
Liana has traveled most extensively through the Caribbean—her favorite respite is Virgin Gorda—and Europe—marveling at Vienna—but has visited over forty countries and continues to discover new destinations every year. Recent travels have included the Caribbean and Mexico, Italy, Australia, the Maldives, Sri Lanka, Croatia, Montenegro, the U.K. and Ireland, Greece, and Chile.
When she is not traveling, researching, or planning itineraries, Liana loves spending time at home in Connecticut with her family. She is an avid reader, an animal lover, a perpetual student of art, history, and architecture, and an advocate for small, sustainable farming practices, such as those practiced by her family’s farm in the Hudson Valley.
My most memorable travel experience always comes from the trip I most recently returned from. It’s so difficult to pick just one, as I’m constantly creating travel memories and keeping them close to my heart. I recently returned from a whirlwind trip through Europe, where I experienced the snow-capped Neuschwanstein Castle in the heart of southwest Bavaria. I had wanted to visit this particular castle for years, ever since learning about its role in recovering thousands of pieces of art during World War II. I’ll never forget the moment I first spotted the castle, shimmering in the distance under a perfect layer of snow.
One place I can’t stop thinking about—and one I would return to again and again—is Virgin Gorda, specifically Rosewood Little Dix Bay in the British Virgin Islands. This property has it all: one of the most picturesque beaches I’ve ever seen, nestled in a perfect private cove; the friendliest people; and buildings that never rise higher than the palm trees. It’s the quintessential Caribbean resort and still has no TVs, which I absolutely love! The island also features an incredible rock formation called “The Baths,” where visitors can walk through caves, explore rock pools, discover secret beaches, and climb on giant boulders. Everything about Virgin Gorda makes me swoon.
Keep up with the places that deserve more than a bookmark, but a check-in.
