I’m an LA native, raised in Seattle, who’s called San Diego home for the last 25+ years. My career started in tech – from IT to Program Management – before I traded my multi-screen desk setup for a passport and plane tickets.
My career in Tech and Program Management now provides the foundation for my approach to travel – a meticulous eye for detail, an ability to manage a multitude of moving parts, and a dedication to providing solutions of the highest quality.
My clients know me as an attentive listener, able to hear their deepest desires and translate them to an experience to match. The destinations, transportation, accommodations, activities… my goal is to align every detail with that client’s unique tastes.
I invite you to explore the world with me, whether through custom travel planning or perusing my blog from the comfort of your own home.
Cheers to living an enriched life, and bon voyage!

Look no further for a travel advisor! Chanda was knowledgeable, helpful, detail oriented and followed up consistently throughout the whole planning process. I knew I could count on her at any point including during our trip. Our trip exceeded our expectations! The Springs Resort was over the top… we had a blast throughout our entire trip. Thank you, Chanda!

Loved planning our trip to Napa with Chanda. She is prompt, helpful, and knowledgeable! We were so thankful for the Virtuoso perks at Stanly Ranch in Napa. Plus, we enjoyed her personal rec of a private driver for a day of wine tasting. Thank you, Chanda!

Chanda has been beyond helpful with all the experiences that I've booked with her. She's made the huge difference of being comfortable and confident with taking the risk of booking more expensive trips that I would otherwise not feel like risking. Chanda is patient and very thorough when seeking different options, accommodations and activities. I find her invaluable for all my travel plans. I have definitely saved money since she thinks of the things that I don't think of.

Our getaway was absolutely everything we needed & more! Chanda’s attention to detail is unmatched, making sure every special request was fulfilled. We had special accommodations that needed to be made for my wife (having a walker & not able to walk far)) and the resort recommended by Chanda was the perfect match for what we were looking for and requiring. We are excited to have someone so knowledgeable and trustworthy for our future vacation planning!
