Diane Sherer

After working as a divorce lawyer and a TV writer in my previous life, I made the move to luxury travel advisor in April 2016. I own my own company called Beyond and am affiliated with Cadence Travel in La Jolla. We are preferred partners with over 25 hotel groups ranging from Four Seasons, Peninsula, Dorchester Collection, and Ritz Carlton to Belmond, Rosewood, Mandarin, and Relais & Chateaux.

This business is all about relationships and I spend much of my time meeting with hoteliers, traveling and visiting properties, and attending conferences about the travel industry. It’s this type of education and these relationships I have fostered all over the world that allow me to curate incredible, bespoke vacations for high end clients, planning everything from hotels, villas, flights, and private tours, to yachts, private jets, ground transportation, etc.

Living in Los Angeles with my screenwriter husband (and having worked in the entertainment industry myself), I find that most of my clients are in the "business" - both creative types (actors, writers, directors, producers) and business types (executives, lawyers, agents, managers, heads of companies). I also have a large client base in finance, advertising, and real estate. Because I have such a varied clientele, I am always seeking out different kinds of properties to suit them. I love to play matchmaker and find off the beaten path gems, unique experiences, and create new definitions of luxury for my clients.
