Bonjour from Montreal! I'm Emi, a travel designer born in Istanbul, Turkey. I took a leap at 16 to explore the world, calling 9 countries and 12 cities home, currently based in this vibrant Canadian city. My adventures have taken me to over 35 incredible destinations, where I've not only indulged in delicious food (a true passion!), but also dived headfirst into local cultures. I thrive on authentic experiences. But my background goes beyond just exploration. As a certified Sommelier and graduate from a top hospitality school, I spent 8+ years as a Food & Beverage Manager working for high-end, luxury hotels. This experience ignited my passion for creating unforgettable travel experiences. With my network of industry friends around the globe, I'm your personal travel curator, crafting itineraries that go beyond the ordinary, minimizing stress and maximizing memories. 🗺️ Destinations I can help you with: Turkey, Switzerland, Canada, New York, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Beijing.

Sarah Lang
Lives in San Francisco, CA, USA
Hello! My full-time career is building unique, fully customized luxury travel itineraries to all corners of the world. Having lived abroad in Hungary, Spain, UK, Germany, and Hong Kong and traveled to a total of 70 countries, I ultimately decided to dedicate my life to helping others achieve their travel goals through my boutique luxury travel agency, Foray. Most recently in the past few years I've visited France, Italy, UK, Bali, Jordan, Mexico, Namibia, South Africa, Greenland, Iceland, Chile, Uruguay, Argentina, and Cuba. I'm continuously on the road traveling myself, and speaking and meeting with hotel and tour partners worldwide to stay up to date on their destinations. I absolutely love to help advise on topics such as: -- The best routing for an itinerary -- The best luxury hotels in each destination -- Which attractions to skip, which not to miss, and how best to plan ahead and avoid crowds -- Best modes of transportation and how to book -- Help narrow down destinations when you can't choose, and help suggest ones you may not have thought about -- Group travel: how to book and negotiate a room block, air, book activities, etc. -- Cruises: which cruise line and style is right for you? -- Group tour companies: how to choose the right company and experience for you. -- California travel: As a California native, there's nowhere I know better than here! Whether it's a full road trip or Yosemite, Big Sur, the desert, Tahoe, redwoods, or LA, I have loads of insider tips for California travel. -- And much more - if you'd like to know if I can assist on a particular topic, please ask! Depending on what we discuss, I may be able to assist with booking hotels, cruises, or tours for you with additional perks or promotions that are only available when booking through a travel advisor. Please don't hesitate to reach out, I look forward to connecting with you! Cheers, Sarah

They are just extra in their simplicity. Day-by-day itinerary with recommendations, insight, and a step-by-step guide. Simple. "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." -Leonardo da Vinci

Becca & Debs | Pride Escapes
Lives in Colchester, UK
Hi there! We are Debs and Becs, wife and wife team who are on a mission to explore as many corners of this earth as we can. We own a few businesses and run them remotely whilst on our adventures around the globe. One of our businesses, Pride Escapes, is relatively new and is focused around creating content that can help others plan their upcoming trips based on our personal experiences and knowledge about these areas. It sounds odd, but I (Becs) honestly enjoy the planning process of a trip as much as the actual trip itself. I LOVE spending hours researching a destination before we head off on an adventure and I always try to connect with local business owners of my destination to ensure I get the most out of a holiday. I figured that if I was already putting in the effort to plan my own holidays, perhaps it would be helpful to find a platform where I could pass this information on to others who maybe do not enjoy the planning part as much as I do. Our guides are also perfect for those who simply don't have the time to put into the research and want to have an extensive roster of information at hand for their upcoming trip. Wherever you're headed or whatever you need, we would be honoured to be a part of your travelling experience. Drop us a message or head over to our website for further contact information. - Debs & Becs
