Specialist for Europe, Disney, and Hawaii
My travels began before my 1st birthday and I've carried a passport ever since! I've lived in three different countries, in three different states and regions of the United States (West Coast, SouthWest Rocky Mountains, and New England), and I am PASSIONATE about travel. Crafting the perfect itinerary gives me the greatest joy.
My childhood summers were spent with my Italian family in the hills of Northern Italy, I globe-trotted with my parents all over the Pacific Rim and Australia, and the adventures have continued with my husband of 25+ years. Some of our favorite destinations include London, Yorkshire, Paris, Monaco, all over Italy, Napa Valley, Lake Tahoe, and of course, the amazing islands of Hawaii. When we travel, we dive deep into the local cuisine and include wine tasting when possible. Visiting Art museums and places of historical significance is our way of "time-traveling". Some of our best days have been spent off the beaten path, enjoying authentic local experiences, and stumbling into unexpected discoveries. We call those "happy accidents".
In addition to English, I speak Italian fluently and French decently, and I pride myself in being able to communicate effectively with anyone regardless of background or culture. Every booking begins with extensive research and identifying the needs and wishes of my clients. How do they want to spend their time? What are they hoping to enjoy? What is flexible and what is non-negotiable? It's all about the client, not my personal viewpoint. I will always advise but I will always yield to the client's preference.
Continuing education is a priority for me. The travel industry is continually shifting so it's my responsibility to stay current. I am a Viking Certified Expert, having earned 4 certifications with Viking which are Viking Fundamentals, River, Ocean, & Expedition Cruises. I have also completed the Disney College of Knowledge and hold 6 certifications for Disneyland Resort, Walt Disney World, Aulani Resort, Disney Cruise Line, Adventures by Disney, and National Geographic Expeditions. I have completed the Globus Family of Brand Certification which includes Avalon Waterways, and I have completed the Marriott Hotel Excellence Course. I am an IATAN card-holder and carry a CLIA Embarc ID card, taking advantage of Cruise Industry training whenever possible.
No travel arrangement is too grand or too humble. From the exotic luxury expedition to the weekend getaway or quick car rental, it is my pleasure to prepare and execute your travel arrangements and provide ongoing concierge support.
Some of my client testimonials include the following:
"We went to Europe for the first time. I was nervous. But my travel Agent, Alexandra made it so smooth. All of the fine details in our itinerary made everything so easy. The directions were so thorough and precise. We had a fabulous time and I will highly recommend this “perfectionist professional” to everyone. She looks at every detail and tirelessly makes it all come together. Thank you Alexandra for your dedication to your profession and great communication skills!!"
"We had such a great experience working with Alexandra to plan our trip to Iceland! She was super professional and really detailed, which made everything so much easier for us. She even gave us clear directions on where to find things such as the rental car desk, which honestly saved so much time and brain power. She did an amazing job arranging the dates and timing for our excursions, making sure everything fit perfectly based on where we’d be that day. It was obvious she put a lot of thought into it, and it made our trip so smooth and enjoyable. If you’re planning a trip, I’d definitely recommend using her as she made the whole process stress-free, and we had an awesome trip thanks to her!"
"We recently flew to Seattle and needed to rent a car. I had looked a couple weeks before we left but then got distracted and Of course I had left it to the last minute. I’ve used Alexandra before to book things for me and so I knew she would help me find something, she had it all set up and payment sent within 24hrs! I was super grateful as I asked her inside of a few days of leaving... Our experience with Avis SeaTac was seamless because Alexandra made it seamless! She sent me notifications making sure I knew where to take it and return it. Overall working with her for the car rental was amazing and everything was so smooth from the initial call to the confirmation that we had returned the car. 5 stars!! Thanks again Alexandra, it’s always a pleasure to work with you and look forward to the next adventure to book with you."

"Our Viking cruise was somewhat daunting to plan. Alexandra guided us through the whole process, from tours, specialty dining and spa reservations on board ship, to finding quality accommodations. She gave us tips to avoid pitfalls, secured tickets to popular attractions, transportation, an extremely detailed itinerary of the entire trip, specific directions, modes of transportation, walking to metro, and more."
