About Us

Meet the People Behind
Your Dream Trips

We’re travelers first, planners second. Every trip we plan starts with understanding what you’re really looking for—not just where you want to go, but how you want to feel when you get there.

Ivone Acosta

Founder & Travel Advisor

I’m Ivone, and I’ve been planning trips for over a decade. Not the kind where you book a hotel and hope for the best—the kind where the restaurant reservation is at the perfect time, the guide knows the secret spots, and the villa feels like home, but better.

Before this, I spent 25 years as a legal secretary. That might seem unrelated, but it taught me something important: details matter. When you’re dealing with legal documents, there’s no room for error. That same precision is what I bring to travel planning.

I’ve also run my own security business—built it from the ground up and eventually sold it. But my real passion has always been travel. I love the moment when everything clicks: the perfect hotel, the right guide, the timing that makes all the difference. That’s what I want to create for you.

Gabriel Acosta

Co-Founder & Travel Advisor

I’m Gabriel, and I spent 21 years in the Army. That experience taught me about safety, precision, and looking out for people. When you’re responsible for others’ well-being, you learn to think ahead, to anticipate what might go wrong, and to have backup plans ready.

Ivone and I ran a security business together for years. But travel has always been my other passion. There’s something about exploring new places that gets me excited—the adventure, the discovery, the stories you bring home.

Now I combine both: the safety mindset from my military and security background, and the excitement of travel. When you’re planning a trip, you want someone who thinks about the details—not just the fun ones, but the ones that keep you safe and make everything run smoothly. That’s what I bring to every itinerary.

Laura Kibler

Travel Advisor

I’m Laura, and I grew up in the mountains of Southern California. My family was always outside—hiking, camping, rock climbing, kayaking, snowboarding. Adventure was just part of life.

Whenever we traveled beyond our mountain home, I was the one planning it. I loved figuring out the logistics, finding the best places to stay, researching what to do. That planning part? That’s always been fun for me. Now I get to do it for other people, and I love it just as much.

I also spent years in administrative management in financial education, which taught me organization and attention to detail. But travel planning is where those skills really shine—making sure everything connects, every detail is thought through, and nothing falls through the cracks.

Global Network

A World of
Trusted Partners

Over the years, I’ve built relationships with hoteliers, guides, and local experts around the world. From a private villa in Santorini to a ryokan in Kyoto, I know the people who can make your trip special—and they know me.

These relationships mean access to things that aren’t available to everyone. Private tours, restaurant reservations that are booked months in advance, villas that aren’t listed anywhere. Whether you’re looking for a resort on a remote island or a boutique hotel in the heart of a city, I know the places that will feel right for you.

But it’s not just about accommodations. I work with tour operators who know the hidden spots, private guides who can show you a different side of a place, transportation services that are reliable and comfortable, and access to events that aren’t open to the public. I’ve vetted them all—not just for quality, but for the kind of experience they provide.

Here’s what that means: When you work with me, you’re not just getting a trip. You’re getting access to the guides who know the secret spots, the restaurants where the chef will create something special, the experiences that let you really connect with a place. That’s what makes a trip memorable.
