About

A former small town-turned big city girl that is forever dreaming about her next adventure and who she can convince to come with her.

Travel style

Once a hostel backpacker, now a unique adventurer. I love visiting places that quickly remind me that I am no longer home, yet I also hold a deep appreciation for a luxe hotel that makes me feel special. For those that have curated their own trips, you know that travel planning can be daunting and time-consuming. I'm passionate about putting in the work to help others find the perfect fit to fulfill their travel dreams. Whether it be a family vacation with unforgettable adventure, a celebratory group trip, the best local hotel for a simple staycation or a romantic getaway pairing both a luxury property with an off-the-beaten-path cultural experience in a dream destination, my ultimate goal is curating an experience that is forever memorable and budget-conscious.

Marion's reviews

Marion was so helpful with booking a vacation for three generations of our family on Maui. From initial discussions to the final reservation she was professional and efficient, and we loved the surprise gift baskets at the resort!

Marion was of great assistance in planning our trip to Italy. While I love to research trips, this one was a little overwhelming. She gave me input regarding destinations and assisted us with transportation, tours and suggested activities tailored to our interests. I had already secured our hotels but would have easily left that to her as well if I hadn’t. She even checked on details of our Vatican tour and rail tickets while we were on our trip since there was some concern due to the impending conclave.

Her services are a great value for the money and I have already recommended her to friends.
