I am Brazilian and I have lived part of my life there and in the US. I pay a lot of attention to always having the best experiences when traveling myself, and I m ready to curate your itinerary to places that are both far and unknown, enabling my clients to experience off-the-beaten -path destinations in ways they never imagined possible. I am a luxury hotel expert, and I have visited and stayed at several across Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, India, Bhutan, Dubai, Brazil, etc. Staying at those prestigious establishments have made me being recognized by my friends and clients as an expert in the travel industry. In addition I have a passion for luxury cruising, where I have sailing in quite a few of them.

With all my experiences of traveling the world to almost all continents, I have a greater understanding of how the travel business works. I am dedicated to providing the best service experience for my select clients to create the most memorable moments of their lives.

Swiss Alps Dream Ski Trip
Reviewed By Nina G. - Chicago, IL | Traveled to Zermatt ~ Switzerland ~ Europe
Selma planned my bucket list Swiss Alp/Zermatt ski trip this past Christmas. Normally, my husband and I are pretty hands-on with making travel plans, but having Selma on board made this experience so much easier, and fun! She was able to find out all the nuances over Christmas, including minimum night stays. She provided many options to stay within our budget and was very responsive throughout the entire process. Being over Christmas time, it was important for us to have lunch and dinner reservations, which was hard to given the language, barrier and time difference. Selma handled all of this- included in the very nominal fee.
I can’t imagine we will plan any future trips without her. Because of her help, responsiveness, ideas, this trip was even better than I could have imagined- she is the BEST!

Planning a trip filled with magical experiences isn’t easy. I wanted this trip to be extra special & filled with the best things to do and see. Im blessed to have had Selma work with me & make it all happen. Selma is well traveled, has a classy style, & takes ones needs/ desires into consideration. She worked with my budget to find amazing hotels with the best locations, provided top notch restaurants, & gave options for tours. Selma booked the hotels so they were arranged & ready for arrival. She quickly responded & helped me from afar. She was my go to girl who had my best interest every step of the way. Her genuine care resulted in a trip of a lifetime & one I will never forget. Selma is trustworthy, professional, & I will look to her to plan my next adventure! She’s excellent & will guarantee you have the best experience too! Thank you Selma!

Fantastic Greece Trip
Reviewed By FamilyTraveler - Oklahoma City, OK | Traveled to Greece ~ Europe
Selma was wonderful to work with. Her recommendations were perfect, and we were able to see everything we wanted to see. She also took into account that we were traveling with our elementary aged children. Even going in off season (November), we still had an amazing time, and were blessed with beautiful weather. Greece is an amazing country, and I would definitely recommend Crete and Rhodes!

Selma is the best. She facilitates all aspects of my trips, from suggesting places to visit, to booking cruises, hotels, flights and ground transportation, to suggesting and booking things to do and places to see when I arrive at my destinations, to troubleshooting when issues arise. Working with Selma, I have enjoyed many memorable experiences in the Caribbean, western Europe and Israel, as well as in the States.

Selma planned a great trip for my large extended family! She included many aspects that I had not considered, including dinner reservations. Upon check in, we got upgrades thanks to Selma's reservation, so we ended up in rooms that were even more comfortable than we had anticipated! It was the perfect getaway!

The best trip of our lives!
Reviewed By Lauren Miller - Boston, MA | Traveled to Maldives ~ Central Asia
Fantastic! Selma is extremely responsive (like...within minutes, always! so helpful) and will go out of her way to make sure you have everything you need for your trip. We went to the Maldives in the middle of Covid for our honeymoon and she was essential to not only planning all parts of the trip (we went through numerous versions/options for this trip given the pandemic) but in choosing the best options for us once we arrived. She was able to get us an upgrade, negotiate included meals for us (saved us SO much money), and even got us some extra honeymoon perks (massages, champagne, activities) we definitely would not have gotten if we booked alone. As mentioned, we went through numerous versions of this trip in terms of plans and resorts within the Maldives - she was so flexible through it all and provided great insight. She is extremely well traveled herself and really understands the nuances of booking travel. Can't wait to book our next trip with her!!

A week of luxury
Reviewed By Kevin I - Boston, MA | Traveled to Switzerland ~ Europe
Selma was amazingly responsive and cared deeply about our experience. She always went above and beyond with recommendations and handled everything she could herself. She's not only very thoughtful, but has an incredible memory, remembering details we mentioned on calls and texts many weeks prior. I would definitely book through Selma again.
