Sarah’s passion for travel and adventure inspires her to create unforgettable, detailed, and bespoke journeys for her clients to all corners of the globe.

Born and raised in Texas, Sarah grew up in Houston and has lived in Austin since 2012. After a successful career in advertising, she began her journey with SmartFlyer in 2017. Since then, she has planned trips all over the world for her clients.

These lasting connections, her dedication to clients, and her attention to detail enable her to plan seamless travel experiences.

She focuses on tailoring her travel planning to her clients’ needs. Sarah understands that travel planning can be overwhelming on top of an already demanding life. As a travel advisor, she takes over the planning process, personalizing each itinerary to the individual traveler. Whether her clients are looking for a bucket-list trip to Kenya to witness the Great Migration, experiencing the glitz and glamour of the Amalfi Coast, or enjoying a quick long weekend in the Caribbean, Sarah is eager to help plan their journey.

What has been your most memorable travel experience to date?

In 2021, I had the opportunity to visit Kenya and fell completely in love with the destination. As an animal and nature lover, there is nothing quite like being halfway across the world experiencing a safari. While staying at Angama Mara in the Masai Mara, I was fortunate enough to witness one of the first river crossings of the Great Migration. Seeing nature unfold right in front of my eyes with no one else around is an experience I will never forget.

Which destinations or hotels do you go back to again and again? Why?

Living in Texas, I grew up visiting Mexico every year. I love the beach and make it a point to go to the Riviera Maya area at least once a year for a beach vacation. However, I also enjoy exploring the interior, with favorites like Mexico City and San Miguel de Allende. Next up on my list is Oaxaca.

Testimonials

We’re hooked. Sarah eased the planning process by curating a list of vetted hotels, activities, and travel options. Upon making our choices, she shared a digital itinerary and contact information for local people to assist us in every city. During our 5-city trip to Italy, all of the hotels were incredible, the activities exceeded our expectations, and the transfers between cities were seamless. We’ve already hired her for our next trip.

When we started looking at Thailand as our honeymoon destination, we were extremely overwhelmed. There were so many places we wanted to visit but how in the world were we supposed to arrange the transport and reservations for each of these stops by ourselves, not to mention on top of wedding planning!? We were at a standstill. That’s when a friend recommended talking with Sarah, and we couldn’t be more thankful for the connection! Sarah made planning our trip incredibly easy. She quickly responded and ensured the trip was exactly how we wanted it arranged before any booking. Our honeymoon was beyond perfect, incredibly relaxing, and truly a dream. During our trip, we had five total Thailand destinations. Transportation and accommodations were impeccable. It was so perfectly organized, that we were able to get lost in what day it was and knew that we would be notified when it was time to move on to the next island. I can’t say enough good things about Sarah and I look forward to telling everyone I know to reach out to her for their upcoming vacations! Time to plan our first anniversary trip!

Sarah’s attention to detail made all the difference on my recent trip to the Amalfi Coast. She understood my vision, put me at the most beautiful hotels, and booked the most incredible experiences. I can’t wait to work with Sarah again in the future!
