I’m Allison.

I like to Dash,

and I like to Ramble.

In many ways, I was destined to be a traveler. My dad spent over 30 years working as a corporate pilot, and my mom spent over 35 years as a flight attendant. Travel was in my blood from the start.

I've always loved exploring the world, and travel design is something that comes naturally to me. I relish the process of researching a destination and learning about what is in store upon arrival. I love arranging an itinerary and plugging in a variety of experiences; the puzzle of creating an experience that meets—and exceeds—the needs and expectations of my clients is one that I'm always excited to solve.

 I believe that a well-planned trip with the right companions can be transformative--and I love being the person who facilitates those experiences. No matter how popular the destination, it is important to feel like you’re experiencing something singular and unique. You should come home with the kinds of stories that inspire others to explore the world too.

What Our Clients Are Saying:

“Our trip was a delight

and we can safely say it was thanks to Allison’s planning and thoughtfulness when crafting our itinerary. She understood our interests and made recommendations that we wouldn’t have done otherwise. We saw parts of Santa Barbara that we didn’t know were there, and it definitely enhanced our vacation experience. We will absolutely be looking to use Allison for future trips!”

“Everything was amazing and beautiful.

I wanted to thank you so much for all the great ideas and guidance you gave us for our trip to New York. It was my first time there and it was truly magical! We did everything on your list and loved it all.”

— Cindy from Claremont, CA

“She was incredibly patient during the planning process.

There were 6 of us having to make decisions and that got a little complicated! The hotel accommodations were fabulous. The trips she arranged were excellent. She covered all of the details and made sure every aspect of the trip was taken care of. It made it possible for us (me) to completely relax! I can't wait for the next trip!
