Travel beautifully.
Bespoke itineraries and meaningful recommendations for design-minded travelers
Designed experiences
I help you discover the places that feel special, the cafés, neighborhoods, galleries, and moments that make a city stay with you. Think thoughtful guidance, curated routes, and trusted recommendations for exploring cities with intention. Because where you go shapes how you feel, and I care about the details that make travel unforgettable.
Who I am
I’m a designer. and photographer, and I’ve spent years figuring out how to get past the noise: the tourist lists, the trending spots, the places everyone says are great but aren’t. I filter down to what’s genuinely worth experiencing. I move like a local, not a visitor, and I help you do the same.
If that’s how you want to travel, we’ll work well together.
How it works
-
Share your destination, travel dates, group size, and any initial thoughts. You don’t need a fully formed vision - just tell me what’s pulling you there.
-
We’ll have a brief conversation to clarify how you like to travel — pace, interests, energy, food preferences, and what makes a trip feel good to you.
-
I’m not a travel agent and I don’t handle bookings. I curate and design the trip plan itself — the routes, neighborhoods, restaurants, galleries, cafés, and experiences that are worth your time. You’ll receive a thoughtful, filtered list — without the noise or overwhelm.
-
You’ll get a clear, day-by-day itinerary with everything organized and mapped. You decide what to book and when — the plan is yours to use how you like.
What Travelers Are Saying

Bespoke, vibe-y itineraries are Dani’s art form. It’s clear she’s spent thousands of hours honing the craft: pouring over maps, lists, forums, etc. and stress-testing her findings. She’s the one you want in the driver’s seat for your next trip.

I am usually the go-to person for my friend’s in Los Angeles for restaurant recommendations. I love staying on top of new openings, reviews, etc. BUT. I can’t hold a candle to Dani’s knowledge and expertise. She’s always two steps ahead of me. And every recommendation she’s given me—for a date, a fun friend’s night out—has led to some of my favorite dining experiences in the city. She’s my GO TO for restaurant recommendations, and I’ve even started to pick her brain about where to shop. The fact that she knows more about my city (a city she no longer lives in!) is wild. I’m so thankful to have her as a resource. Wow.

No matter where my travels take me - Mexico City, Kyoto, even my hometown Philadelphia - Dani is my go to. From amazing bites to vintage shopping, Dani’s recs are always perfectly tailored and special.

Traveling with Dani was truly an incredible experience. She would have everything planned to a tee, from finding the perfect, quaint coffee shop in Sweden to art galleries in Paris, rich with history, Dani always had every moment perfectly mapped so we optimized our time with amazing sights. Dani will help enhance your travel experience in ways you never thought possible. And you definitely won’t regret it!

Whether it’s artisanal mini grocery shops, well-curated thrift stores, or a restaurant on the brink of a James Beard award, Dani is always on the pulse of what’s worth seeing in a city - and what’s not.

Dani has an incredible pulse on the go-to food spots for so many cities around the US and beyond. I am always so impressed with her foodie knowledge, recommendations, and variety. I highly recommend her travel tips and itineraries!
