meet claire, the traveler
Growing up, my family loved traveling to the same places time and again - finding somewhere we loved and visiting so frequently we felt like locals. Between the Cape and Kiawah, we had our favorite fishing and crabbing spots, bike ride routes, and ice cream shops. As we got older, we started to explore new destinations - a summer in Dortmund learning German, two weeks in Paris and Rome appreciating art, history, and excellent shopping, a semester abroad in London falling in love with life across the pond.
All of this fostered two hobbies that helped me forget my less exciting 9-to-5: traveling on the weekends and planning said travel. Fast forward to today, where I still spend weekends traveling - to visit friends, to celebrate 30th birthdays, for bachelorette parties and weddings. True to my roots, you’ll still find me gravitating back to my favorite destinations (Aspen and Charleston are always good ideas). The only difference now is that I’m also spending the weekdays doing what I love - planning travel and scouting new destinations - for others.

My mission is to help the travel-obsessed travel even better, more often, and with less stress, by adding a personal touch (and some special perks) that you simply won’t get booking through Expedia.
I do this by building itineraries around local experiences, like designing a custom cowboy hat at the base of Aspen Mountain or learning to make traditional tzatziki on a beach in Santorini. It’s important to me to build relationships with the locals so that I can go beyond the traditional tourist spots to curate a unique VIP experience – whether it’s at a Michelin star restaurant or a roadside bratwurst stand.
Working with a team of luxury travel advisors like ours takes the time and stress out of planning travel, while offering additional perks, insider information and support should any travel issues arise.
