Bio
David Cohen
I don’t know how she does it (other than her years of traveling experience and incredibly broad network) but each trip Stacy plans for our family is better than the previous one. She just seems to always get it right with her recommendations, whether it’s a special excursion, a hotel and location, a restaurant, and even small things like the people she connects you with while traveling. Her relationships (because it really is much more than a network) have a knack of making her clients feel like the most special people. Whether it’s the hotel room location or getting an early or later check-out time because of travel plans, or getting a very hard to come by reservation at a restaurant or beach club (Positano), to the welcome gifts upon arrival and special things that just seem to suddenly appear, the whole trip just always feels first class. Having just spent time on Maui with Stacy before her move back to the mainland, we were able to experience the island from a unique perspective. And this is what she does, whether there or not, she makes each vacation a wonderful, unique and memorable experience. We cannot wait to begin planning our next vacation with Stacy’s help.

I’ve been Stacy’s client for 13 years and I can’t imagine entrusting my travel plans to anyone else. She anticipates my needs and expectations and makes sure they’re met. If there’s a problem, she solves it quickly and efficiently. And to top it off, she’s a genuinely nice person. I can’t recommend Stacy highly enough
