Luxury Travel Planning for the Modern Wanderer

Solas Travels provides intuitive, expertly-curated travel planning that transforms vacations into vessels for lifelong memories.

Together with our trusted partners around the globe, we focus on consistently exceeding the expectations of our clientele through every item on their itinerary.

No detail is too small. No dream destination is too big. And no two trips are ever the same. We get to know the “why” behind your travel desires, and build each itinerary around what matters to you most.

This mindful approach to the planning process allows us to craft more meaningful and immersive experiences. Whether it’s a culinary honeymoon tour of Tuscany, a family adventure to New Zealand or a multi-generational jaunt to the Kohala Coast, we’re here to light your way.

Details have delighted me since day one.

And my mother has the receipts to prove it. As in, the notebook paper I would hand-write itineraries on as a kid and dispense to our family before any big trip. In pencil of course, in case any last-minute changes were required. Totally normal behavior for an 8-year-old right?

I loved taking care of people then, and the same is true now. I believe proper hospitality is an art that can only be perfected by getting to know the stories and priorities of the people you serve.

I learned this early in my career working in domestic film publicity at 20th Century Fox, and perfected it in my time as a luxury event & wedding planner with an international clientele. Logistics are my love language, and digging into them ensures that my clients are presented with the details that define a one-of-a-kind experience.

My own travels have led me off the beaten path to incredible experiences recently, including:

  • Wild swimming in Loch Ness, Scotland
  • Gorilla trekking in Rwanda
  • Learning local recipes in Naxos, Greece 
  • Hiking among the giant cedars on Yakushima Island, Japan
  • Snorkeling through the Namena Marine Reserve in Fiji
At the top of my “Next Up” List: The Okavango Delta in Botswana. Hoping to share the beauty of that region with my animal-whispering daughter and adventure-loving husband soon.
