My Background
I believe that travel opens one’s eyes to the connections between cultures. Travelling creates learners and observers out of all of us, giving us new perspective andimpacting how we live our own lives, for it is impossible to see the world andremain both indifferent to it, and unchanged by it. You and the environment you create around you are the sum of your experiences and travels,whether it be to the City That Never Sleeps, the Pearl of the Adriatic, theCity of Sails, or the End of the World. As Eleanor Roosevelt so eloquently stated, “The purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste experience tothe utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richerexperience.” Each experience brings us closer to an emerging world community of global citizens who are working together for a better tomorrow.
My passion for travel was ignited early on, as I am the child of avid travelers who decided that three children were not going to dampen their adventurous spirits! Luckily for my brothers and I, that meant we got to tag along on all their crazy adventures. And in the years since, my love affair with the world has continued to grow.
I graduated from the University of Wisconsin – Madison with a BA in International Studies. Immediately post-graduation I relocated to Nashville and worked as a Manager for a luxury home exchange company before setting my sights on a career that would allow me to work with more detail, and more depth on every component of my client’s trips.
Let me open the door to discovery and inspiration for you and your family, and together we can design an experience that is impossible to “google.”

Best Travel Agent

This was, by far, the easiest trip I've ever planned- thanks to Olivia!! She asked all the right questions, We barely had to tweek the itinerary. She knew one of the guides we had and couldn't have been more spot on with our pairing. She was available to us via email at all times- not that we needed her. Our trip ran smoothly and could not have better planned. I will definitely use Olivia again- as will my friends!!

Olivia helped plan our honeymoon to Moorea & Bora Bora and words cannot even describe how amazing this trip was. She made the process so unbelievably easy! She worked with us to understand what we were looking for, matched us with perfect properties, recommended fun activities, and made sure that EVERY last detail was accounted for. We didn't have to worry about one thing! She even checked in with us during our trip to make sure that all connections and plans were going accordingly. She is extremely dedicated to her clients and you can feel the passion she has for her career through her customer service.

Olivia is a great travel advisor. I worked with her in order to plan my honeymoon. When issues presented during the actual trip she actively involved herself in order to make sure the resort remedied the situation. Olivia is easy to work with, accessible and excellent when it comes to follow through with planning etc. This is my second time working with Olivia and I had a great experience both times. In the past month I have recommended her to two colleagues in the process of planning life event trips and I will continue to recommend her to anyone interested in working with a travel advisor.

Olivia was always prompt in answering questions, fulfilling requests and giving suggestions.

Perfect Honeymoon in St. Lucia!
By: KLB
Reviewed on: 10 Nov 2017
Olivia planned the most amazing honeymoon in St. Lucia for my husband and I! We were both blown away not only by the beauty of the island and the extremely luxurious resorts we stayed at, but by how easy Olivia made everything for us!
From the moment we got off the plane, Olivia had everything arranged from the transportation to and from the airport, a water taxi between our resorts (which was amazing!), to even having surprises for us at both resorts which shows how much she cares about making your trip special! She even had a picture from our wedding, which was just days before, framed in our room when we arrived!
Working with Olivia on planning it was also so easy - she was extremely accommodating with our requests and changes. She also gave us great suggestions and guidance while planning which we wouldn't have known otherwise.
I highly recommend planning any vacation you have with Olivia if you want a truly once in a lifetime experience instead of just a regular trip!

Travel made fun!
By: Charlie Watts
Reviewed on: 11 Jan 2018
Our family worked with Olivia to plan a Christmas trip to Ireland. After just one phone call -- in which Olivia asked good questions about our hopes/desires and budget -- she came back with a fantastic menu of ideas for the overall itinerary and specific activities. We narrowed things down and then she made all the arrangements, working with in-country partners and her own team. She was always very available. We received a detailed itinerary and welcome package with all the relevant details (which helped us coordinate plans with our kids). We loved the hotels she picked as well as the tour guide she hired for a morning walk through Dublin. Other arrangements -- our rental van (we had six people), a professional rugby match, a brewery tour, an evening with a storyteller -- were all fantastic. Our goal was to make the holidays low-stress and yet fun and adventurous. Olivia did exactly that and was a pleasure to work with throughout! We highly recommend Olivia. Thank you so much!

Most wonderful travel advisor!!
By: Morocco adventure
Reviewed on: 09 Jul 2019
Olivia organized the most wonderful trip for me and my family. We spent 2 weeks in Morocco. From the moment we exited the airport in Fes to the moment we boarded the plane to return from Marakesh, we felt perfectly cared for! We had a nice balance of cities/country side. FES and Marrakesh were so much fun with all their chaos and excitement... great visits to historic sites, guided walks through the medinas and great restaurant recommendations. We also spent a night in the desert under a tent and it was an extraordinary experience! We were so pleased that Olivia scheduled us in an amazing Kasbah in the Mountains right when we needed some down time for relaxation and regrouping... It truly was one of the most memorable trips I have ever taken (and the first one organized by a travel advisor)... I really couldn't recommend Olivia enough! During out travels we had an issue with customs and Olivia and her team figured it out! I am already planning my next trip with her!!! She is FABULOUS!

Olivia was amazing! She booked our honeymoon to Fiji and coordinated all logistics - flights, taxi, ferry, etc. She even helped us book our excursions and worked with the resort to get us a room with the best view on the property. When we arrived there was a sweet handwritten note from her waiting on the bed. Olivia went above and beyond and truly took care of every detail! The custom app with our trip itinerary on it was also very helpful - once I downloaded everything all details were accessible on my smartphone, even without WiFi or service. Super helpful!

I chose to reach out to Olivia to book our honeymoon because in a year of heavy planning, the last thing I wanted to do was worry over every detail of a trip that was supposed to be a relaxing, stress-free and indulgent getaway. From my first meeting with Olivia, there was a huge weight taken off my shoulders. She swiftly stepped in to finalize our week-long honeymoon in the South of France, taking care of every aspect of our travel itinerary from connecting flights to train tickets, to finding and reserving the most incredible hotels. As an avid planner myself, I surprisingly had no issues turning over our trip to Olivia because I trusted that she understood the type of getaway we hoped for. Our honeymoon was perfect from start to finish - and we didn’t run into a single issue! Olivia went out of her way to make sure we were greeted at each location with a warm welcome and hand-written note. We are SO grateful to Olivia for making our trip truly unforgettable.
