Travel isn’t just about where you go — it’s about how it feels.

I’m Samantha Diaz, an Independent Luxury Travel Advisor specializing in elevated, experience-driven travel for clients who want their trips to feel seamless, intentional, and unforgettable.

From boutique European hotels and private transfers to carefully paced itineraries and meaningful moments, I design journeys that feel indulgent without being overwhelming. You dream it — I refine it, elevate it, and take care of every detail

  • Luxury isn’t just five-star hotels (though we absolutely love those). It’s peace of mind, time saved, and every detail handled with care. When you work with me, you receive personalized, concierge-level planning, thoughtfully curated itineraries that never feel rushed, seamless logistics, and a real human supporting you before, during, and after your trip. This is travel designed to feel effortless.

  • I specialize in elevated, experience-driven travel for clients who value comfort, intention, and quality. This includes European getaways, luxury leisure and slow travel itineraries, romantic escapes and honeymoons, boutique hotels and high-end resorts, cruises and private yacht experiences, and celebratory trips such as birthdays, anniversaries, and milestone travel.

  • My services are best suited for travelers who value thoughtful planning, personalized recommendations, and a seamless experience. If you enjoy beautiful accommodations, exceptional food, cultural depth, and prefer not to manage every detail yourself, we’ll likely be a great fit.

  • I work with a range of elevated travel budgets. Luxury doesn’t always mean the most expensive option — it means choosing the right experiences, accommodations, and pacing for your travel style and priorities. I focus on value, comfort, and overall experience while remaining respectful of your budget parameters.

  • Luxury travel planning is a high-touch service. Planning or consultation fees may apply depending on the complexity of your itinerary and will always be communicated clearly before any planning begins. Transparency is a priority — there are no surprises.

  • We begin with an inquiry where you share your destination ideas, travel dates, preferences, and priorities. I then design and curate itinerary options tailored to you. After reviewing and refining the plan together, I handle the coordination and next steps so you can travel with ease and confidence.

  • I can assist with flights and hotels when it makes sense for your trip. That said, I’m always transparent — many clients prefer to book flights and certain hotel stays directly so they can use airline miles, credit card points, loyalty benefits, or elite status perks.

    My role is to advise you on what works best for your specific travel goals. In many cases, clients book flights and select hotels independently while I focus on curating the overall experience and ensuring everything flows seamlessly.

  • Absolutely. Many clients book flights and some accommodations on their own and rely on me for destination planning, hotel recommendations, room category guidance, transfers, experiences, and overall itinerary coordination. My services are flexible and tailored to your needs.

  • Luxury travel is about more than reservations. I add value by helping you choose the right destinations, timing, neighborhoods, and experiences; creating a balanced itinerary; coordinating logistics; and providing trusted recommendations so your trip feels intentional and stress-free — even if parts are booked directly.

  • Not necessarily. If you have strong loyalty status or prefer using points, booking directly can be a great option. When applicable, I’ll always guide you on whether booking directly or through a preferred channel makes the most sense based on your priorities and flexibility.

  • Depending on your preferences, I may assist with itinerary design, destination guidance, accommodation recommendations, tours and experiences, transfers, cruises, special arrangements, and overall trip coordination. Every planning relationship is customized.

  • Pricing is set by travel suppliers, not by me. My focus is on securing the best overall value — considering comfort, location, flexibility, amenities, and support. Added benefits or perks may be available in some cases but are never guaranteed and are always subject to supplier availability and terms.

  • If issues arise during your travels — such as delays, changes, or supplier disruptions — I’m available to assist and support you when possible. Having a travel advisor means you’re not navigating challenges alone.

  • Yes. I strongly recommend travel insurance to protect your investment. I can provide guidance and options through reputable providers, but coverage, benefits, and claims are always subject to the insurance provider’s terms and conditions.

  • For international or luxury travel, I recommend reaching out at least 3–6 months in advance. For peak travel seasons, complex itineraries, or special occasions, earlier planning helps secure preferred accommodations and experiences.

  • Absolutely. I love planning honeymoons, anniversaries, birthdays, and milestone trips. These journeys are designed with extra care and intention to make them truly memorable.

  • Yes. I am an independent travel advisor affiliated with a licensed and accredited host agency. This allows me access to professional booking tools, trusted supplier relationships, and travel resources while still providing highly personalized service.

  • Simply submit a travel inquiry or request a consultation. Once I review your details, I’ll be in touch to discuss next steps and begin planning your journey.
