My Story
Curious and intrepid travel researcher and itinerary builder. I'm not sure if I enjoy planning travel or taking advantage of a well-planned trip more!
Travel Style
I have a very versatile travel style and am just as comfortable summiting Mt. Kilimanjaro as I am indulging at a luxury resort in the Maldives or meandering the streets of Lisbon in search of the cutest cafe or tastiest restaurant. For me, travel is all about the connection and experiences you're able to make with old friends and locals alike.

As per usual, Riker understood the specifics of our needs and quickly arranged appropriate accommodations. Sometimes we need special parking, sometimes we need certain amenities—this time we needed a clean, affordable space for basic lodging purposes. Spot-on.

Riker is always the most attentive travel advisor. We had several issues throughout our weekend, whether it was discrepancies with the bill or wondering what was included in our upgrade package, or making additional spa reservations last minute, Riker was always responsive and really great at communicating with the hotel on our behalf. Riker took away a lot of our stress, because he was the main liaison with the hotel so our experience was fairly seamless as guests. Riker also got us all of the great promotions and upgrades, which definitely added to our overall experience. Without Riker, this weekend and visit to this resort would have been not great. I’m so glad to work with Riker, because he always goes above and beyond and he really tries to get the best deals every time we have a trip. Thank you, Riker!

Booking with Riker was a wonderful experience! He was able to take what we said we were looking for and craft/book an amazing two week honeymoon - everything was wonderful! We will definitely be booking with Riker again :)

Riker and I clicked immediately and I feel like he gets my travel vibe completely. We through a couple of curveballs his way, but he managed to stay flexible and cater to our changes of plans. Couldn't be happier!

Roses and Red - Wellness Retreat in Morocco: A Captivating Journey of Cultural Immersion and Serenity
In Spring 2022, Samira led a small group on a yoga, wellness and culture retreat to Marrakech and the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. The trip was perfectly curated, featuring the perfect blend of physical, cultural, architectural and culinary activities. I would highly recommend this trip for anyone interested in blending international travel with yoga and wellness.

Unparalleled Luxury in the Maldives: Soneva Fushi and Jani
In March 2023, five friends and I went to Soneva Jani and Soneva Fushi to celebrate two of our 30th birthdays. We had an absolutely magical time with incredible “barefoot guardians” who welcomed us to each resort and helped us with whatever we needed during our stay. I wouldn’t just stay at both resorts again, but I would live there if I could! I highly recommend both to any client considering booking.
