Independent Travel Consultant

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.

Destinations I most often book

Ambergris Cay is the kind of Turks and Caicos escape that feels almost unreal, private air transfer, your own golf cart, a standalone beachfront villa, and a butler who quietly makes everything effortless. No crowds, no schedules, just calm water, chef driven dining, and space to truly exhale.
