Hi, I’m Ashley—founder of The Atlas Upgrade and a luxury travel advisor specializing in elevated, tailor-made experiences across the globe.
Born and raised in New Orleans, I’ve always had a deep appreciation for rich culture, history, and soulful destinations. After earning my MBA, I spent a decade in New York’s luxury fashion industry before turning my lifelong passion for travel into a full-time career.
Today, I work with discerning travelers who value curated itineraries, exceptional stays, and seamless service. From five-star hotels and private guides to once-in-a-lifetime experiences you won’t find in a typical guidebook, I bring insider knowledge, trusted global partners, and an eye for detail to every trip I design.Whether you're planning a honeymoon in Lake Como, a bucket-list family safari, an adventure through Patagonia, or a restorative Caribbean island escape, I bring your vision to life through personalized, high-touch planning from start to finish.

Client Testimonials
Best Anniversary Trip to Italy!
We are so grateful to Ashley who ensured we had the very best anniversary trip to Italy! We truly had the most amazing time! Everything was PERFECT - from the hotels, to the activities, plus all of the logistics with the car services, boats, tours, etc. It was all so seamless and it allowed us to just show up and enjoy ourselves. Ashley knocked it out of the park.

Absolutely Incredible Honeymoon
Ashley & the team planned an absolutely incredible honeymoon to Buenos Aires, Mendoza, and Patagonia for my husband and I. Not only was the pre-planning process seamless and very fun, but they were incredibly responsive the entire time we were there making sure we had everything we needed. Would absolutely recommend Ashley and can't wait to plan more future trips with her!

An eye opening and amazing trip!
Ashley planned an amazing trip to Egypt that I simply could not have planned on my own. From the smallest details to the big picture she was able to curate an amazing and seamless trip with all the highlights and wonders Egypt has to offer! She also went out of her way to ensure that we were able to accomplish everything on our itinerary after we had flight delays, and worked hard on our behalf to coordinate with local travel guides to make sure the logistics and timelines were adjusted on the fly! Simply put, I could not have done it without her!

ONCE IN A LIFETIME HONEYMOON!
Ashley was amazing to work with. The thought of planning a honeymoon while also planning a wedding was nauseating. She made the experience so easy and seamless. She was professional and timely and took into account the guidelines, wants, and must haves that I provided . She was amazing! We first went to Dubai for three days, and then spent 6 days in the Maldives. She suggested Dubai as a layover country to break up our trip and it was just what we needed! Amazing experience!

Can a trip change your life?!
Ashley is incredible! She was conscientious, comprehensive and an absolute joy to work with. The accommodations and upgrades Ashley secured for us blew us away. The views from our rooms were so wonderful, we got room service more than once because we wanted to savor every second of having private access to such phenomenal views. The fresh food and service were the best we had ever experienced. My only advice, would be to pack a pair of light, comfy walking shoes if going to Saint Lucia. The hiking trails there should not be missed.

Most Relaxing Vacation Ever
Ashley was great. Very knowledgeable and responsive. She helped us plan the perfect trip. Her advice made me feel a lot more comfortable investing in this vacation. On top of that we got an incredible complimentary upgrade to a huge suite. It was literally a house with it's own pool. I couldn't be happier with my experience. Most importantly my wife feels the same way.

Amazing Family Beach Getaway
Ashley planned an incredible trip for my family over winter break! Her professionalism and expertise throughout the process led us to a perfect family trip, where Ashley took care of all the details including emails ensuring we were prepared for the trip, local recommendations etc. Upon arrival she had a beautiful welcome spread complete with chocolate Legos for my sons and a beautiful note welcoming us. We are already working with Ashely to plan our ski trip in February!

An Amazing Vacation!
I had the pleasure of working with Ashley at The Atlas Upgrade who planned a fantastic trip for me to Greece, specifically to Athens, Naxos, and Mykonos. From start to finish, my experience was absolutely wonderful. My advisor took the time to get to know me and my preferences, and crafted a personalized itinerary that included amazing activities and sights that I never would have found on my own (including an authentic in-home cooking experience). The hotels she selected for me were all top-notch, with beautiful views. And when I had any questions, the local advisor was always available to help me out and make sure everything was taken care of. Overall, I had an absolutely amazing time in Greece thanks to Ashley's expert planning and attention to detail. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to plan an amazing vacation!
