Planning a trip should feel exciting, not like another full-time job.

I help busy couples, families, and friends create unforgettable, stress-free and meaningful travel experiences.

But between work, life, and everything else on your plate, travel planning quickly becomes overwhelming.

Endless options. Too many decisions. Never enough time.

spent hours (maybe even months) researching on your own
kept pushing off the trip, saying “we’ll do it next year”, year after year
tried multiple times to plan but kept getting stuck or overwhelmed
saved dozens of hotels, reviews, posts and videos and the options keep piling

Hi, I'm Phillis!

When a trip marks something so important, such as for your honeymoon, anniversary, or once-in-a - lifetime adventure, booking portals aren’t enough. They don’t know who you are or what matters to you. And they can’t provide the level of care, local insight and access your trip deserves.

You need more. You need someone with genuine relationships with the property, firsthand knowledge of the destinations, and the ability to unlock authentic experiences you simply can't access on your own.

That’s what I bring to travel planning. I've spent my life bridging cultures and building connections across the world so you don’t have to navigate it alone. My role is to lift the burden of planning and give you authentic access to places I've called home.

As a third culture kid raised across Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, my story is woven throughout the world and it’s what inspires my approach to meaningful travel.

work with me

Travel is deeply personal. It’s not just about where you go, but how you feel while you’re there. My approach is rooted in understanding who you are, what matters to you, and crafting experiences that feel seamless, meaningful, and truly yours.

A more thoughtful way to travel.

Instead of leaving you to figure everything out by yourself, I guide you through the process and handle every single detail with the care and attention that your special trip deserves.

Every Detail, Handled With Care

Rather than booking you whatever's available, I leverage my deep local relationships to unlock authentic cultural experiences, VIP treatment, and exclusive access you can't get on your own.

Insider Connections, Elevated Experiences

Instead of drowning you in endless options, I listen to your story and curate experiences that genuinely fit who you are and what makes you feel alive.

Travel Designed Around You

You get to be fully present and make memories with the people you love most without having to deal with the stress and worry involved with planning it all.

Where will your story take you next?

Stress-free, meaningful travel designed around you

These days, I split my time between Washington, D.C. and Las Vegas, however, I spent six years in Indiana for university, so the Midwest will always have my heart.

My family is spread across California, Florida, Texas, Indiana, New York, Colorado and Hawaii - which means I've got insider recommendations from coast to coast.

United States

I spent my first years of life between the coast of Guayaquil, the hot springs of Papallacta, and the capital city of Quito.

As the country is relatively compact, travelers can experience the Pacific coastline, Andean mountains, colonial cities, and have access to the Galápagos Islands all in a single itinerary.

Ecuador

One of my FAQ’s is "what's your favorite city?" And the answer will always be Cape Town.

This city shaped my formative high school years, and few places rival its natural beauty, food & wine culture, warm & kind people, and wildlife. It’s a top destination for my clients for a reason and especially during Southern Hemisphere's summer (Dec-Feb)

South Africa

3 things defined my childhood in Lagos - Nigerian weddings, Jollof rice, and compound life.

Lagos is for the adventurous, culture-curious travelers who want to experience modern Africa at its most vibrant. Think art galleries in Ikoyi, live Afrobeats, buzzing night life and markets and some of the continent's best fashion and music scene.

Nigeria

I lived in Tunis for three years and spent weekends everywhere from the blue-and-white charm of Sidi Bou Said to the ancient ruins of Carthage.

Through study trips, I explored the country from the desert landscapes of Tataouine to the Roman amphitheater of El Jem, giving me deep knowledge of Tunisia's layered history and coastal beauty.

Tunisia

I lived here for three years as a child, and my memories are vivid: visiting Petra, walking the Roman ruins of Jerash, floating in the Dead Sea, and riding camels through the desert.

Many clients want to experience the same, so I design Jordan itineraries that honor these classics while adding depth to experience authentic Jordanian culture.

Jordan

Some of my most treasured memories are from Uganda - camping on Lake Victoria's shores, stopping at roadside stalls for fresh fruits and vegetables, and early morning birdwatching (I loved spotting kingfishers!).

Now I design itineraries centered around the country's extraordinary wildlife: mountain gorilla trekking in Bwindi and classic intimate safaris through the national parks.

Uganda

Zimbabwe holds some of my earliest memories: family safaris near lake Kariba, visiting Victoria Falls, and watching my dad practice touch-and-go landings on a small airstrip nearby.

Today I send clients here to experience some of the most intimate and authentic safari experiences - with world-class guides, and vast uncrowded landscapes.

Zimbabwe

I lived and worked in Northern Kyoto for two years, I built lifelong friendships, immersed myself in daily life, and met my husband here.

Japan remains one my top destinations for clients. I love designing itineraries that go beyond the main highlights to include ryokan stays and traditional cultural experiences that make Japan so special.

Japan

I lived in Bangkok for 3 years and it continues to be a place I return to. From northern mountains and temple towns to southern islands and quiet beaches, I've explored the country from top to bottom.

Thailand also remains a favorite for clients because it offers the perfect balance between: luxury and affordability, adventure and relaxation, vibrant culture and serene nature.

Thailand

Being half Filipino and raised with Filipino values throughout the world, this country is home - family gatherings, shared meals, and where karaoke is non-negotiable!

I return frequently to visit family and explore new places, which means I can design itineraries that balance world-renowned beaches with authentic Filipino experiences most travelers miss out on.
