Mangata Travel Brings the World to You
Hike across glaciers in Iceland. Scale castle turrets in Tuscany. Cycle alongside floating river markets in Vietnam.
It’s all closer than you think.
Through my one-on-one trip planning services, I make action-packed vacations possible for travelers ready to dive deep.
Discover the Mangata Travel Difference
Here’s the thing about “going off the beaten path,” exploring “under-the-radar” destinations, or finding travel’s “hidden gems”: You really have to know where to look (or else they wouldn’t be “hidden,” would they?).
My clients crave unusual and offbeat experiences that are a little—or sometimes a lot—outside the tourist mainstream. They rely on me to lead them there. When I travel, I’m always forging boots-on-the-ground relationships within the industry, from hotel GMs to local guides. My industry connections lead to new opportunities, which I then pass on to you, opening doors you didn’t even know existed.
How I Take you beyond “cookie cutter”
A perfect-fit trip starts with one thing: listening. My job as your travel advisor is to ask the right questions, intuit what you’re saying between the lines, and then deliver a travel experience tailored to you.
It’s travel planning with a human touch (how novel these days!). And this human has ventured far and wide to gather first-hand intel on immersive journeys that would suit every type of traveler. I provide inventive suggestions that my clients—or Google!—wouldn’t have thought of on their own, but that are guaranteed to make a trip feel uniquely yours.

Once you take care of the Trip Design fee, I’ll begin doing just that, designing your trip based on what you shared during our consult. You’ll receive your trip proposal to review and provide feedback on, then I’ll tweak it to your liking. With your itinerary in place, I’ll get everything booked and arranged for you.

STEP 1
After you complete the Trip Inquiry Form, we’ll arrange your complimentary consultation call. This call is all about YOU—your vacation vision & goals, travel style, budget and time frame, preferred pace, who’s coming with you, and more. Digging deep together is what will allow me to create a customized plan for you.

THE MANGATA PLANNING PROCESS
I’ll make sure you’re prepped for your trip with a pre-departure consult, travel checklist, destination info, and all my best tips. You’ll receive your full itinerary via mobile app for access at your fingertips. Once you leave, we’ll stay connected during your trip to ensure everything is going according to plan — or better!
Have you already planned your vacation—but you’re seeking a second set of (expert) eyes? With my Itinerary Consultation service, you’ll share your current itinerary with me, and then we’ll hop on a 45-minute call together so I can provide my feedback. Bring all your questions, and I’ll bring my best ideas on how you can create a more seamless travel experience with major wow-factor moments.
An Itinerary Consultation is $150 for a 45-minute call—get in touch to schedule yours:
