Beyond the Obvious

Travel with intention.

Thoughtful luxury. Unexpected places. No compromises.

I find what others miss. Hotels that matter. Experiences that shift perspective. The perfect balance between comfort and discovery.

About Maria

Perspective over polish.

I design travel that challenges assumptions. With a background coordinating international luxury experiences for Conde Nast's top-tier clients—CEOs and executives from fashion, lifestyle, and beauty's biggest names—I understand what discerning travelers actually want: substance over spectacle.
