About Calliope Travel
My mission is to help you travel even better, more often, and with less stress, by understanding what’s important to you, and adding personal touches (and some special perks) that you simply won’t get booking through Expedia, Booking.com, Kayak, etc.
- If you are overwhelmed by choice, I can help!
- If you know where you want to go but don’t have the spare time to research your destination, I can help!
- If you love traveling but find the process a headache, I can help!
- If you don’t even know where to begin, I can DEFINITELY help!
I do this by building itineraries around your preferences, but if you aren’t sure exactly what your preferences are then I can help figure that out too, and ultimately zero in on the things that matter most to you while traveling.
I love to go beyond the popular tourist spots or the typical “top ten list” to create unique VIP experiences – whether it’s a wine tasting at a small vineyard in the Napa Valley, a day-trip sailing and snorkeling in the Bahamas, dining at a traditional curry house in London, or knowing the best roadside souvlaki stand overlooking the Mediterranean in Greece.
Working with an expert travel advisor eliminates the hassle and time-consuming aspects of travel planning.
Moreover, it grants you access to exclusive benefits, insider insights, and dedicated assistance in case any travel-related challenges crop up.
About me
I have loved travel from a very young age and I was fascinated by how big the world seemed, with so much to see. Fast forward 30 years and I have now visited over 30 countries, and planning my next adventure is my favorite hobby.
I have organized business travel, retreats, family vacations, a destination wedding, solo trips, island-hopping, a large bachelorette holiday (hen do!), and everything in between. Building journeys and seeing it all fall into place is incredibly rewarding.
I want to share my love of travel and help people make their dream trips a reality. Experiencing other countries, cultures, and ways of life is incredibly rewarding and can profoundly shift your whole mindset.
Life is too short to not have adventures, so let’s stop saying “someday…” and start planning your journey today.
