Hello, I'm Sierra – a seasoned traveler and your go-to consultant for personalized, culturally immersive travel experiences specializing in couples and groups. I believe that every person and every trip travels differently so I'll adjust my recommendations and travel tips based on your travel preferences.

If you're not sure where to start with booking a trip, have a few questions, or want specific recommendations I am here to help you. I focus on Costa Rica, Italy, Hawaii, and Austin but I'd be happy to talk about general travel planning tips or any of the (many) other locations I've traveled. 

Here's what sets my services apart:

1. Culturally Rich Experiences: I specialize in helping you experience destinations as a local rather than a tourist. My insider knowledge, gained from living in Costa Rica, Florence, Italy, and traveling through Airbnbs across the continental U.S., allows me to recommend authentic, culturally rich experiences.
2. Customized Recommendations: I tailored my recommendations for different travel personas, catering to various interests and trip styles, whether it's a wild girls' getaway, an off-the-beaten-path adventure, or a romantic retreat.
3. Budget-Conscious Travel: Having learned to travel on a budget, I provide recommendations for accommodations ranging from hostels and boutique eco-hotels to five-star resorts and camper vans, ensuring your travel dreams are achievable, whatever your budget.
4. Personalized Consultations: During our consultation, I'll listen to your travel desires, answer questions, and share my favorite experiences and recommendations based on your unique preferences and requirements.

I'll be the travel friend you need to feel confident booking your next vacation. I can't wait to meet you!
