Interviews & Features
Every so often, someone asks me to step away from the itineraries and talk about the work itself: how I got here, what a travel advisor actually does, and why I still love it. Here’s where those conversations have ended up.

Nashville Voyager
Meet Ivone Acosta
We are not simply here to make a reservation.
Ivone talks about leaving a 25-year legal career for travel, the trips she plans most, and why the relationship with a client matters more than any single booking.

Working on a travel story? I’m glad to help. That might be a quick quote on deadline, background on how advisors work behind the scenes, or a guest spot on your show or podcast. Everything you need to get started is below.
Short Bio
Ivone Acosta is the founder of Acosta Curated Travel, a Virtuoso travel advisory based in Hendersonville, Tennessee, just outside Nashville. She specializes in river and ocean cruising, golf travel, food and wine, and adventure travel, and she knows Mexico, the United Kingdom, Japan, Alaska, and Ireland especially well.
Before travel, Ivone spent 25 years as a legal secretary, then built and sold her own security business. Both taught her that details matter. She brings that same precision to every trip and stays involved from the first conversation until her clients are back home.
