I'm Claudia, German by birth and global nomad by heart. I was born and raised in East Germany before jet-setting off into the world, visiting 100+ countries as of today. It's hard to pick favorites but I'll say if you haven't traveled to Greece, South Korea, or Tanzania yet, you need to add it to your list.


My passion for travel comes from my grandparents. They would take me on annual family vacations to the Turkish Riviera and Mallorca when I was just five years old. I remember feeling a rush of excitement when exploring a new place. Traveling wasn't allowed in East Germany until the wall fell in 1989 so before then my grandfather Horst would regale me with stories of his travel agent friend. I remember thinking, "a job traveling and helping others travel? Sign me up!"


After school, I moved to London to pursue my travel and hospitality dreams. I was then sent to Zanzibar where I helped open a boutique hotel in picturesque Nungwi Beach. I changed it up and started working aboard luxury cruise ships, traveling at sea for six months at a time and spending a lot of time exploring places like the Arctic, Australia, and circumnavigating Africa. I then moved to the United States and won the Green Card Lottery in 2012 where I lived in the flashy town of Las Vegas and the tourist destination of Santa Barbara, CA.


My ultimate goal is to craft your dream vacation within your budget. I've been lucky to explore everywhere from the remote corners of the world to high-end luxury escapes to popular hot spots and I want to create the same for you. These will be the stories you talk about for years to come and I'm honored to guide you on this journey. If you're a meticulous planner who wants to see it all or if you're more go-with-the-flow, I'll attune the trip to your pace. For the LGBTQIA+ community, I'm aware and knowledgeable of the unique experience we face when traveling to new areas. Each country has different cultures and laws, so I'll help you navigate your destination in the best way possible with whatever vibe you're seeking.

Amazing India Trip

"Claudia is awesome to work with! She takes the time to understand what her clients want in their travel experience and ensures those expectations are not just met but exceeded. Claudia is so knowledgeable which allows her to plan the perfect trip. Claudia has planned two once-in-a-lifetime trips for us and each one was perfect from start to finish. Can’t wait for her to help with our next adventure!" A&M

Incredibly helpful

"My partner and I have worked with Claudia now for several years on long trips to Europe (one of them for 12 months). She is very knowledgeable, easy to work with, and most of all thorough with her assistance. As we continue to travel, we will always enlist the help of Claudia. Highly recommend." C&J

HONEYMOON THAT LIT UP MY LIFE - LITERALLY
I hope this doesn't have a character limit because I can write a War & Peace-level novel on my AMAZING experience with Claudia. We (husband & I) planned our honeymoon about 8 months in advance and started with 0 location picked. After we established a budget, Claudia helped me work out what experience (beach/snow/mountains) I would like. She was incredibly helpful and we landed on experiencing the Northern Lights/Aurora Borealis as we wanted to honeymoon early December. She helped establish how relaxed we wanted to be during the trip and created the most perfect 10 day honeymoon across Norway and Finland. Her services provided hotel bookings, transfers to/from the hotels/airports, activities such as tours, sauna tickets, reindeer rides, northern lights hunting were taken care of, etc. We literally only had to think about where/what to eat and the itinerary was just a quick glance on our phones so we knew what was coming next. Please use Claudia. Darn this thing has a 1k lim
