A More Thoughtful Way to Travel

Personalized travel planning for people who want to see more of the world, without having to figure out every detail themselves.

Based in Birmingham, Alabama, Triptico Travels creates thoughtfully curated journeys throughout Europe, the Caribbean, Mexico, Canada, and beyond. From family and multigenerational trips to milestone celebrations, group travel, cruises, and European escapes, each journey is shaped around how you want to travel, what matters to you, and the experience you hope to have.

Travel has always been part of my story.

From studying abroad in Spain to exploring destinations throughout Europe, the Caribbean, and beyond, my own travels have shaped the way I see travel and the way I advise my clients.

Triptico Travels was created from a belief that travel should feel personal. The most meaningful journeys are not simply a collection of reservations. They are carefully designed experiences that reflect who you experience a place.

My role is to listen, research, recommend, and create a journey that feels effortless from start to finish.

How It Works

A great trip takes more than finding a beautiful hotel and booking a flight. There are destinations to consider, routes to map, rooms to choose, experiences to arrange, and countless small decisions in between.

My job is to make those decisions easier while making sure the final trip feels like your trip.

01 — Start With a Conversation

We begin with an intake call to talk about where you want to go, how you like to travel, who is coming along, and what matters most to you. We will also discuss your budget and expectations so I can focus the research where it will be most useful.

02 — I Do the Research

I research destinations, accommodations, experiences, and logistics and put together options based on what we have discussed. Rather than sending you a long list of possibilities, I narrow it down to the choices I believe are the best fit.

03 — Refine It Together

Travel planning is a conversation. We review the options, make adjustments, answer questions, and continue refining the details until the itinerary feels right.

04 — Book With Confidence

Once everything is finalized, I take care of the reservations and coordination so you do not have to manage every booking yourself.

05 — Travel With Support

My job does not end when you leave. If plans change or something unexpected comes up, I can help coordinate with the right partners to get things back on track.

One advisor. One point of contact. One thoughtfully planned journey.

Why Work With a Travel Advisor?

The internet can provide endless options. What it cannot provide is the perspective of someone who understands your priorities and knows how to bring all the details together.

Working with Triptico Travels means having a trusted advisor who will:

‍ ‍Gets to Know You

  • Your preferences, priorities, and travel style shape the recommendations. There is no one-size-fits-all itinerary.

    Saves You Time

    Instead of sorting through hundreds of hotels, tours, and destinations, you receive a thoughtful selection of options that make sense for your trip.

    Adds Value

    Through Fora's extensive partner network, I can offer preferred benefits at more than 5,500 hotels worldwide. Depending on the property, benefits may include complimentary breakfast, resort or spa credits, room upgrades, early check-in or late check-out, and airport transfers.

    Handles the Details

    From accommodations and transportation to experiences and logistics, I coordinate the moving pieces so you do not have to.

    Becomes Your Point of Contact

    You work directly with me throughout the planning process, rather than being passed from person to person.

    Advocates for You

    Travel does not always go exactly according to plan. If something changes before or during your trip, you have someone in your corner to help.

    Brings Perspective

    Perhaps most importantly, I help you decide what is worth your time, what is worth your money, and what can be left off the itinerary.

    The goal is not to see everything.

    It is to create a trip that feels considered, personal, and worth the time you have set aside for it.

The Thoughtful Escape

Travel planning starts long before departure day.

Through my blog and newsletter, The Thoughtful Escape, I share destination inspiration, hotel discoveries, travel education, and stories from my own travels to help you make more informed decisions about where to go and how to experience it.

Discover a new European destination, find a hotel worth knowing about, learn how to approach a multigenerational trip, or simply find inspiration for where you might want to go next.
