The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.”

About Wander & Bloom Travel
Wander & Bloom Travel LLC (TM) is a boutique luxury travel consultancy firm located in the Hudson Valley, New York area but caters to corporate and luxury leisure clientele nationwide. As a full service agency, we specialize in the seamless management of every aspect of your luxury travel experience.
Services include private and commercial air arrangements, curated hotel and resort stays, ocean and river cruises, as well as both group and bespoke itineraries, complemented by a range of premium travel amenities. In addition, personalized concierge services are available to assist with dining reservations, spa experiences, theater tickets, sporting events, and other exclusive arrangements to enhance your journey.
As a luxury travel designer, I specialize in crafting bespoke journeys for discerning clients who expect the highest level of personalization. Each itinerary is thoughtfully tailored, with meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to excellence.
From the world’s most prestigious hotels, resorts, and private villas to exclusive experiences and privileged access, every element is carefully curated. I manage every aspect of the travel experience, allowing my clients to relax and enjoy their journey without the need to plan, coordinate, or worry about any details.
Whether planning a secluded escape, a culturally immersive city stay, or an adventure to a remote destination, I ensure each journey is seamless, refined, and truly exceptional.
Wander & Bloom Travel is not a traditional travel agency. I intentionally partner with a limited number of clients each year to deliver a highly personalized, attentive experience, focused on thoughtfully designed journeys rather than budget-driven travel.
Leasure clients may engage my services through a per-trip consulting fee, a travel retainer, or an annual membership. At this time, the agency maintains a waitlist for new clients; however, I welcome inquiries from those interested in a more curated and elevated approach to travel.
For corporate clients, I will only take on 1-2 corporate accounts per year, on a retainer basis. Wander & Bloom has extensive corporate travel knowledge and resources to manage small to mid-size accounts up to $5 million. We have the latest in resources and tools to elevate your corporate travel program without sacrificing employee comfort.

As a dedicated concierge, I bring a refined depth of knowledge in gourmet dining, fine wines, luxury spa, golf, and ski experiences, cultivated through both extensive personal exploration, an extensive network of trusted contacts worldwide, and professional training. This unique combination allows me to offer thoughtfully curated recommendations and insider access tailored to each client’s preferences. With a discerning eye for quality and a commitment to exceptional service, I ensure every reservation and experience reflects the highest standards of sophistication and enjoyment.
I studied English with a Pre-Law focus and am proficient in SABRE and Apollo/Travelport GDS reservation systems, ARC reporting, as well as domestic and international air, cruise, and FIT bookings. My experience also includes corporate event and meeting planning, complemented by extensive expertise in social media marketing and web design.
Beyond my work as a travel advisor, I am an accomplished gourmet food, wine, and travel writer and professional recipe developer. My work has appeared in publications such as The Arizona Republic, The Telegraph, Parks & Travel Magazine, as well as my own digital platform, A Cork, Fork, & Passport.
