My specialties
Travel has always been my passion. My earliest memory of falling in love with exploring the world goes back to my first visit to Epcot as a very young child. I will never forget my family handing me that map and telling me we would be visiting all these countries… TODAY! I was floored. I stared at the cartoon depictions of each spot on the map for every hour of every line we waited in. I wanted to soak up every detail: the food, the architecture, the souvenirs, the entertainment. That curiosity has never left me and in my adulthood, led me to visit multiple countries, attempt to teach myself Italian and Greek (attempt being the key word), and even start an ongoing project to experience every country through its cuisine – my World Food Adventure. Today, I’m fortunate to have two amazing roles at Evyssa Vacations. As Csilla’s assistant, I provide white-glove service for her beautifully curated, one-of-a-kind itineraries. Watching her craft trips that are as seamless as they are extraordinary has inspired me to bring that same level of care to the trips I plan for my own clients. I specialize in curating unique, immersive travel experiences. I want our trips to be more than a vacation and full of experiences that touch your soul —whether that’s a stay in a castle, an underwater suite, a tented camp in Africa, a ryokan in Japan or slowing down and eating a delicious meal while staring at the Alps without another tourist in sight. My approach is personalized, focusing on those magical, unforgettable moments that make a trip truly special.

Resort Spotlight - The Aerial BVI, British Virgin Islands - An All Inclusive Private Island Escape for Wellness & Sustainability
In my lovely industry, I am often referencing an ultimate all-inclusive excel workbook (I do love my excel - blame my time in inventory management!) that factors in traveler ratings from multiple sites to rank these resorts from the best of the best all the way down (After all – we are not planning to put our name on anything subpar.) Consistently at the very top of this list was a place I had not heard of - The Aerial in the British Virgin Islands. It was new. Anyone who had gone rated it a 5 star experience and the fact that I was unfamiliar with it after so much time digging into all-inclusive resorts for our guests was even more intriguing to me. And so...I have now done ALL the research to bring this one to you.
