HOW I CURATE YOUR TRIP

I pair those “this is why we came” moments with smart, thoughtful choices so your trip feels elevated, easy, and completely worth it.


I don’t just help you decide where to go—I think about how the trip will actually work for you.


I consider your budget, interests, travel style, pace, logistics, and any accessibility needs to create a trip that fits the way you travel. I look for the experiences worth spending more on, where we can save without sacrificing the experience, and the little details that can make the entire trip easier.


When to slow down. When to explore. What’s actually worth your time—and what isn’t.


Because the goal isn’t just a great itinerary—it’s a trip that feels easy, intentional, and fully yours.


You shouldn’t feel like you’re managing your trip.
You should feel like you’re in it.

Accessible Travel

 Accessible travel is more than just an accessible hotel room. I consider mobility, pacing, hearing, visual and sensory needs throughout the trip—from where you stay and how you get around to the attractions and experiences you choose.

Budget-Friendly Luxury

 Luxury doesn’t have to mean spending more on everything. I help you decide where an upgrade can truly improve your trip, where it makes sense to save, and how to create an elevated experience that still respects your budget.

About Me

Hi, I’m Tanya—your Travel Curator.

 

I believe incredible travel isn’t about spending more—it’s about planning better. After designing trips that balance luxury, value, and real-life needs, I’ve built an approach that helps my clients feel confident, cared for, and completely at ease while they travel.

I don’t just plan where you go—I plan how it feels when you’re there.

Here’s what working together can look like

Sometimes you already know exactly what you want and simply need someone to handle the booking. Other trips need research, recommendations, organization—or someone to work through nearly every detail.


I offer different levels of service so you can get the amount of help that makes sense for your trip.


🌴 Complimentary Booking Services
Already know what you want? I can book hotels, cruises, tours, rental cars and other commissionable travel for you at no additional planning fee.


🗺️ Custom Trip & Road Trip Planning
Need help figuring out what to do and how it all fits together? I offer several levels of planning, from researched recommendations to organized daily plans and detailed itineraries.


✨ High-Touch & Complex Travel
For trips that require deeper research, detailed logistics, accessibility planning or more hands-on support, I offer customized planning based on the complexity of your trip.
