About Me
Certified Travel Advisor

Hey there, travel enthusiasts! I'm Darlene, your go-to travel guru. I don't just book trips, I chase experiences! My passport is a roadmap of collected experiences, from (purposely) getting lost in a new city and finding hidden foodie havens to swimming alongside whale sharks! I crave authenticity – soaking up cultures and diving headfirst into new experiences. Whether I'm trekking solo, exploring with family, or reuniting with friends; every trip brings unforgettable moments. From spotting Africa's "magnificent 7" to learning to bake fish like an Aboriginal Aussie, my adventures are a blend of discovery and delicious detours. So, if you're looking to explore beyond the guidebook and create memories that taste as good as they feel, let's chat!

My Travel Booking Style
My happy place? Anywhere with a new culture to explore and delicious food to devour.

Travel isn't just about ticking places off a list. It's about diving deep and creating memories that stay with you forever. That's why I'm obsessed with crafting immersive adventures that unlock a new perspective on the world. I'm all about finding those hidden gems, like a quirky local market or a restaurant buzzing with the energy of the city. Time is precious, so I prioritize well-located, stylish accommodations to maximize exploring without unnecessary travel hassles. As I believe travel should be comfortable, I recommend design-forward experiences perfect for solo adventures or group trips.

Complete Transparency
Booking with Me is Almost Always Free

The travel industry revolves around happy travelers – that's you! By partnering with me, hotels, cruise lines, and tour operators gain an advocate who understands your needs and can match you with the perfect vacation experience. They see me as an extension of their sales team, focused on exceeding your expectations. This translates to better deals and access to exclusive benefits for you.


In most cases, there's no additional cost to you for my services. My commission is covered by the travel providers themselves. However, for incredibly complex itineraries with multiple destinations or highly customized experiences including airfare, a transparent planning fee may apply based on the booking vendor's requirements. We'll discuss this upfront, so you can make informed decisions and I will guide you to the best choice to meet your budget needs.
