Experience personalized service focused on your travel dreams.
A Seamless Travel Experience
Tailored to You.
A custom-made itinerary by The Well Traveled Soul starts with a "Discovery Consultation." During this 60 minute call, we take the time to get to know you. We learn the way you like to travel and meaningful experiences you're hoping to have in your dream destination. In short - the Discovery Consultation is all about YOU.
Once we get an idea of what you're looking for - whether that is a couples vacation, a group tour, a family trip or a multi-generational travel experience - we'll get to work sifting through the Internet noise (there's A LOT of it) and crafting the vacation of your dreams. My travel network is filled with seasoned professionals with experience planning trips to every corner of the globe. Trust us, we've got this.

Happy Clients
-Alanna, Belgium + Amsterdam
For my milestone birthday, I wanted an unforgettable vacation experience centered around craft beers. To my delight, Erica recommended the Belgium Beer Festival. We experienced the full weekend at the festival in Brussels and also visited Antwerp, Bruges and Amsterdam. We visited award winning beer bars such as Kulminator, Le Trappiste and Delirium Cafe.
She also made sure we did not miss out on experiencing a specialty Belgium chocolate tour, finding the best moules + pomme frites or waffles! She has become my go-to travel advisor! I know every detail will be covered and she always finds that "something special and unique" during all my travel adventures.
Working with Erica from TWTS to plan our second honeymoon trip to Paris has been easy and stress-free. All of the logistics of planning a trip like this can be completley overwhelming and take countless hours. But, Erica talked to us about what we were looking for, our travel style, budget, etc. and then took it from there.
She has a vast network across the world and was able to provide us an easy-to-use web application to review our options and submit payments. The app ties together all of the many different elements of the trip into one place.
I will literally never plan another trip without Erica's help.
- Liz, Paris | France
After determining that I'd go to Turks + Caicos for my retirement trip, I reached out to Erica who has traveled to TCI numerous times. I believe I ended up being her first grateful, though unofficial, client as she had yet to officially launch TWTS.
I am most grateful for the many tips she offered, as well as a generous listing of potential hotels, restaurants and tours. Originally we were going to opt for a less cost hotel that would have been a 10-minute walk to beach. I am grateful Erica suggested we stay on beautiful Grace Bay, because we loved having the view every morning and could be in the water in less than 3-minutes.
We truly appreciated all the information Erica was able to provide, it felt like we knew the island before ever arriving. A great retirement trip for this "well traveled soul".
- Pam, Providenciales | Turks + Caicos
Planning Process
Connect + Learn.
Let's have a chat in person (or virtually!), over coffee (or wine!) and discuss your bucket list of destinations, the experiences you're hoping to have and how you like to travel. This 1-hour Discovery Consultation is completely free-of-charge.
Craft + Collaborate.
Once you decide on a destination (with my help) and the design + research fee is paid, the real fun begins!
I begin putting together your custom itinerary and send you an initial trip proposal for review. From here, we'll make any necessary changes, tweaks and enhancements and finalize the trip proposal together.
Book + Prepare.
Once your trip proposal is approved and signed-off by you, I work closely with the various vendors and tour operators to confirm and book each piece of your custom itinerary. All elements of your trip will be presented to you via the Travefy App prior to your departure. This will allow you to easily access and view your trip from your mobile device. For those who love a hard-copy (like me!), you will also receive your full itnerary in printed form.
Depart + Support.
Embark on a trip of a lifetime! You will
begin your journey with confidence,

How would you describe the typical traveler who
works with The Well Traveled Soul?
Our travelers are those who seek to redefine luxury on their own terms. They crave personalized journeys that surpass the everyday—the kind of travel adventures that surprise and delight at every turn. While they are certainly capable of booking flights and hotels independently, the hustle and bustle of careers, family life, and daily responsibilities leave little room for planning. They prefer to work with a travel advisor who is in the know, rather than navigating the overwhelming sea of the internet on their own.
Our clients truly appreciate the relationships we've cultivated around the globe. They understand these connections allow them to indulge in exclusive opportunities, like a private wine tasting at a tucked away vineyard in Positano, Italy and being welcomed by the winemaker and his family for an authentic Italian meal. Or an intimate dinner in a cozy Montmartre (Paris) apartment…imagine dining with the stunning Basilique du Sacré-Cœur as your backdrop, pampered by the attention of a personal chef and butler. Our clients know they can count on us to craft these unforgettable moments that elevate their travel experiences to something truly extraordinary.
Looking for a Caribbean escape or debating the perfect ocean cruise, river cruise, or chartered yacht for your next adventure? Our clients rely on us to help them select the ideal resort, cruise itinerary or destination that matches with their travel style—whether they're sun-seekers, adventure enthusiasts, or cultural explorers. While we take pride in crafting extraordinary and exclusive opportunities, our true specialty lies in matching the essence of the destination to your unique travel preferences.
At The Well Traveled Soul, every journey is a personalized adventure, custom-designed to fulfill your most exciting travel aspirations.
