I’m Claudia, German by birth and a global nomad at heart. Born and raised in East Germany, I have traveled to over 100 countries, gaining rich and diverse travel experiences. My top recommendations? Add Rwanda, South Korea, and Morocco to your list for unparalleled adventures.
My passion for travel was ignited by my grandparents, who took me on annual family vacations to the Turkish Riviera and Mallorca. Despite the travel restrictions in East Germany until the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, my grandfather's captivating stories of his travel agent friend inspired my career path.
After completing my education, I moved to London to pursue my dreams in travel and hospitality. My journey led me to Zanzibar, where I helped establish a boutique hotel on picturesque Nungwi Beach. I then expanded my horizons aboard luxury cruise ships, exploring destinations like the Arctic, Australia, and the entire African coastline. Winning the Green Card Lottery in 2012 brought me to the United States, where I lived in dynamic cities like Las Vegas and Santa Barbara, CA.
I specialize in curating bespoke luxury travel experiences, from remote island escapes to high-end urban adventures. Each journey is tailored to your precise preferences, whether you thrive on meticulous planning or prefer a more spontaneous approach.
I’m also keenly aware of the unique experiences faced by the LGBTQIA+ community and am dedicated to ensuring comfortable and enjoyable travels.
Together, we will create travel stories you'll cherish for years. Reach out with your travel inspiration, and let's transform your dream into an exquisite travel experience.
I look forward to hearing from you!
