Everything you need for your trip, organized and ready: so you can focus on the journey ahead.
MY TRAVEL STUDIO
Your Custom Designed Itinerary
Your custom itinerary contains reservations, travel documents, and a direct line to me. Instead of tracking details across email threads, everything is here, organized and always current.
Getting Started
Start with setting up the tech you will need before and during your trip. Most take less than five minutes and make everything easier once you’re on the road.
About Your Itinerary
Every trip I design comes with a detailed, interactive itinerary you can access from your phone, tablet, or laptop. This isn't a generic PDF with a list of hotels and check-in times. It's a complete picture of your trip: where you're staying, what you're doing each day, why I chose it, and everything you need to know before you arrive.
Uptown Traveler Resources
Everything here is designed to support a smooth journey. From the weeks before departure through your first morning back home. Browse what you need, skip what you don’t, and know that the information here is current and tested.
Tech & Apps You'll Use
Here's my running list of apps and tech that will make your travel relaxed and easy.

Packing & Preparation
The goal isn’t packing light for the sake of it; it’s packing well. Thoughtful preparation means fewer decisions on the road and more room for what matters.

While You're Traveling
The practical things that come up once you’re on the ground. This section is designed for quick reference . Pull it up on your phone when you need it.
When You Return
The things nobody thinks about until they’re standing in the customs line. A few minutes of awareness here saves hassle at the border.
Resources for Cruisers
Everything you need to know before, during, and after your sailing. For entry and exit requirements, including the EU's new biometric system, see the Travel Documents & Entry page.
Before You Board
The weeks leading up to your cruise are when the groundwork is laid for how you’ll actually feel on board. A bit of thoughtful prep now lets you walk onto the ship calm and ready, not scrambling to catch up.
Onboard Life
The ship isn’t just how you get from place to place: t’s where much of your experience actually unfolds. Understanding how things work on board means you can enjoy it fully, not spend your time figuring out the basics.

FAQ
Most traditional travel agencies focus on booking; finding available flights, hotels, and tours, then processing the reservations. The value is in access and logistics.
A travel design studio focuses on the thinking that happens before booking begins. What should the rhythm of this trip feel like? Which neighborhood puts you closest to the experiences that matter to you? How do you transition from one city to the next without losing a day to logistics? What cultural context turns a beautiful building into a meaningful experience?
I manage all the bookings and logistics. But the design work is where the real value lives. It’s the difference between a trip that’s well-organized and a trip that’s well-considered.
Every designed itinerary includes a complete day-by-day plan with cultural context, confirmed reservations for accommodations and key experiences, restaurant recommendations, transportation logistics, and emergency contacts.
Beyond the itinerary itself, you receive access to your Traveler Resource Hub, preparation guidance, and direct communication with me throughout the process.
During your trip, I’m available for real-time support. If you have a last-minute restaurant change, a question about local customs, or something unexpected that needs a quick solution.
The goal is for everything to feel handled. You focus on being present. I focus on making sure every detail works.
