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

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

Danielle Cohen
Lives in Florence, Metropolitan City of Florence, Italy
Ciao! My name is Danielle and I'm a Californian from San Diego, who's been living full time in Florence, Italy since 2020. I studied in Florence in 2016 and absolutely fell in love with the food, culture, and history, and made it my mission to move back. I moved right before the pandemic, and staying here through all the lockdowns and pandemic life really helped me discover slow travel and find all of Italy's beauty, including lesser known gems, and off the beaten path travel spots. During my three years in Florence, I have wrote for publications like The Florentine, done freelance marketing with restaurants and a travel agency, giving me high insight into the best destinations, foodie spots, and more. I am here to help you make the most of your vacation in Italy with curated itineraries for every type of traveler and digital maps to help you enjoy THE BEST food each region has to offer. Let me do the work so you can just relax and enjoy, without any stress! I've had a very unique experience living in Italy the last 4 years, as I made my official move right before the pandemic, after visiting for years. Because of this I learned to travel locally and deeply throughout the numerous incredible destinations in Italy and for that I cater my travel services to finding the most local and mindful experiences, keeping true to discovering and appreciating Italy's culture.

Lives in Naples, Metropolitan City of Naples, Italy
I am a Southern California native, mother of two, military spouse and travel lover currently located in Naples, Italy. I’ve lived and visited many different places and I hope that my travels will help you plan your next great adventure! My guides focus on travel that the whole family can enjoy and feature some of the great places the military has sent us, as well as our own travels. Having lived in many different places, I have local knowledge of a wide variety of places. Two of my favorite recent travels are a month long family trip to Australia and Singapore and a multi-generational Caribbean cruise. I love that some of my kids first core memories will be of our international travels. It is so heart warming to watch them make friends at a foreign playground and having an interaction with a person that doesn’t speak their same language. Now, living in Italy we have many more opportunities for travel, both throughout Europe and locally near Naples, Pompeii, and the Amalfi Coast. We have enjoyed discovering new foods, exploring language and culture. My youngest has an egg allergy that we manage so food and language intertwine often.
