Tell us a little bit about your business.

Craft Travel is a luxury travel agency and tour operator specialized in curated experiences to the world’s most epic destinations. We believe that travel is more than just seeing the sights. It’s about experiencing new cultures, meeting new people, and challenging yourself in new ways. When you choose Craft Travel, you embark on a curated journey crafted specifically to you. No two itineraries are alike! As a Pittsburgh-based travel designer, I am here to guide you every step of the way, drawing on my extensive knowledge and passion for travel. I believe in building meaningful relationships with my clients, getting to know your preferences, and tailoring each adventure to your unique requests.

What makes your work unique?

Unlike many travel agencies, our specialty is international destinations. Whether it be a luxury safari in Africa, a classic Tuscany or Saint Tropez escape, or an adventure to the South Pole via private jet, innovation is at the cornerstone of every honeymoon we plan. Our deep connections with some of hospitality’s biggest names – along with the secret gems you’ve never heard of – give us the edge when planning honeymoons of a lifetime.

As members of Serandipians by Traveller Made ®, luxury travel’s most exclusive and innovative consortium, we provide clients with unmatched benefits and access wherever they go. I travel extensively throughout Europe and Africa for my work to find the best hotels, lodges, wine estates, restaurants, and experiences for our guests to make the most of their time while on their tailored trip. We don’t offer Disney packages or Sandals beach vacations (not that there is anything wrong with that!). We pride ourselves in curating personalized journeys for discerning travelers, focusing on cultural immersion and authentic experiences.

What is your ideal client like?

Defining my ideal client doesn’t fall under a one-size-fits-all description, as our highly curated approach means that each traveler’s needs and styles are different. However, there are some key characteristics that will make you a great fit with Craft Travel.

• You are open to both collaboration and guidance as we embark on the journey of planning your perfect honeymoon. You appreciate the personalized touch and expert advice a travel designer provides and you are seeking to find someone who truly understands your style.
• You are looking to plan a once-in-a-lifetime trip and see a travel designer as someone who can introduce to you not only what is the most famous or Instagrammable (though we can always add that too!) but rather what is truly the best. You’re more interested in unique experiences rather than cookie-cutter ones. And you appreciate luxury!
• You understand the value of working with a travel designer and, once we’ve had our Discovery Call and have mutually committed to working together, you are willing to trust me. My goal is to maximize your return on investment, and in turn you feel confident making this significant investment with me. You want to ensure that you’ll come away from your honeymoon knowing that you have made the absolute most of it, and that is what I am committed to delivering.
