Here's the thing: when someone shares their travel dreams with me, I get genuinely excited. Not polite "oh, that sounds nice" excited - like can't-wait-to-dive-in excited.
Hi, I’m Samantha - founder of SH Travel Designs and lover of romantasy novels, perfect lattes and moments of genuine awe. I became a travel advisor because I love crafting those moments when everything just clicks: you're standing in the right place, at the right time, thinking, this is exactly what I needed.
By day, I'm an accountant which means I bring a love of spreadsheets, obsessive research, and serious attention to detail to every trip I plan. What I love most? Creating trips that reflect you. My recommendations come from actually being there, trying it all, and sometimes learning the hard way so you don't have to.
Whether you're celebrating something big or craving time to reconnect, I'm here to handle the details so you can savor the moments.

From wine tastings to hidden beaches, I'll curate dining and activity recommendations with insider tips, provide flight guidance for the best routes, and design a daily plan that flows seamlessly while leaving room for spontaneity. No cookie-cutter tours or endless research required.
