Wonder Well Travel Turns 2 (and a half)!

Wonder Well Travel: Highlights, Heartfelt Moments & What’s Next

A little over two years ago, I left my career in tech and launched Wonder Well Travel, a boutique travel design service focused on small-group women’s trips and custom itineraries for curious, culture-loving travelers. Now in my 3rd year, I’m thrilled to share a few milestones:

Doing What I Love to Do
Travel isn’t just a passion for me — it’s an obsession. Designing thoughtful, beautiful, and often life-changing experiences for my clients is what I truly love.

Joined Leading Travel Networks
I affiliated Wonder Well Travel with Fora Travel, a modern host agency that supports travel advisors with a state-of-the art booking platform, exclusive hotel relationships, and with Virtuoso, the world’s leading luxury travel network. These partnerships give me access to the most sought-after hotels, insider experiences, and a global advisor community of destination experts.

Earned “Pro” Advisor Status
I’ve been recognized as a Fora Pro Travel Advisor two years in a row — a distinction based on client satisfaction, booking excellence, and ongoing professional development. 

Hosted Small-Group Women’s Trips

One of my greatest joys is curating journeys for women — many of them navigating life transitions and others simply seeking community and adventure. Each trip blends culture, nature, connection, and exciting new experiences A few recent destinations include:

• Slovenia & Croatia –with stays at the Grand Park Hotel Rovinj and Hotel Bohinj as well as boutique properties such as Majerija and Gredic. 
• Portugal – from the Algarve to Alentejo, Lisbon to the Douro Valley, with stays at Bairro Alto Hotel, Casa da Companhia, and more
• Greek Islands – Athens, Naxos, Paros & Antiparos
• Croatian Islands – a luxurious week of island-hopping aboard Always Croatia
• Costa Rica – lush jungle and hot springs at Tabacón and Rio Perdido, plus beach time at W Costa Rica – Reserva Conchal
• New Orleans – music, food, and fun at the stylish Eliza Jane Hotel
• Morocco – from a desert-edge riad to a luxury Sahara camp and magical Marrakech

Having expanded my offering to go beyond women’s small-group trips to include luxury travel experiences for anyone, I’ve redesigned my website to reflect this. Check it out at www.wonderwelltravel.com and see some of our upcoming trips

Created an Online Community for Women Travelers

I also launched a private facebook travel group for women 50+. This community connects like-minded women to share travel inspiration, find travel partners, and help shape future Wonder Well Travel trips.

Designed Custom Itineraries for All Types of Travelers

From couples to families, solo travelers to retirees, I’ve designed custom trips that combine comfort, local culture, and wow-factor. A few recent examples:

• Several couples’ trips to multiple cities in Portugal
• A 3-week Southeast Asia honeymoon — Thailand & Bali featuring Six Senses Koh Samui, Anantara Uluwatu, Anatara Ubud and private guided tours in each location
• A “European Sampler” trip for a family of five starting in London and traversing 5 countries
• A 3-week grand tour of London, Scotland & Ireland for four active retirees
• A Costa Rican rainforest-to-beach escape for a nature-loving couple

What’s Next: SAP Alumni Travel

After working for more than two decades with SAP, I would be remiss if I did not shape opportunities for my friends and colleagues there – many of whom are now SAP alumni. I’m now starting to offer both my women’s small-group trips and custom trips specifically for SAP Alumni. Stay tuned for updates on these travel adventures!
