Your Next Trip Should NOT Feel Like Work
I’m Simone, and I turn your “maybe someday” travel dreams into “I can’t believe I’m actually here” moments.
You know that feeling when you’ve got 47 browser tabs open, three Pinterest boards, and you’re still not sure if that hotel in Tulum is actually worth it?
Yeah, let’s skip ALLLLL of that!
I specialize in Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central/South America – places where the water is impossibly blue, the food is unforgettable, and your biggest decision should be whether to order ANOTHER coconut mojito (or is it just me and my love of Don Q coconut rum?).
Whether you’re ready for cultural deep-dive, a beach escape that actually restores your soul, or a celebration that matches the milestone you’re marking – I’ve got the connections, the insider intel, and the obsessive attention to detail that turns good trips into LIFE-CHANGING experiences.
the experience
Locale
We want you to fall in love with your destination as much as I love traveling. I will work to ensure that you destination is an unforgettable experience.
Mexico & Caribbean Mastery
I don’t just book trips to these destinations – I live and BREATHE them. From hidden cenotes in the Yucatan to the best rum distilleries in Barbados, i know where to find the magic that doesn’t make it into travel blogs.
Cultural Connections
Want to eat where the locals eat? Learn to salsa from someone’s abuela? Experience Day of the Dead in a way that feels reverent, not touristy? I connect you with authentic experiences that transform how you see the world.
Cultural Connections
Think snorkeling with sea turtles, cooking classes with locale chefs, or hiking to waterfalls that end in natural pools perfect for Instagram shot (and an even better memory). Adventure that excites without exhausting.
Restoration That Actually Works
Beach time that goes beyond lying in the sand. I curate wellness experiences, spa treatments, and those perfectly timed sunset cocktails that remind you why you needed this trip in the first place.

Why Curated Travels by Simone?
You Deserve to see Yourself in Beautiful Spaces
I believe all travelers, especially, BIPOC travelers deserve to feel like that belong in the world’s most stunning destinations. Too many upscale travel experiences feel designed for a narrow slice of people, and that’s not the world I’m creating for my clients.
When I plan your trip, I’m not just booking hotels and excursions – I’m ensuring you feel welcomed, celebrated, and completely at home in every space you enter. From boutique resorts to exclusive experiences, I’ve cultivated relationships with suppliers who understand that luxury travel should be inclusive and affirming for everyone.
Here’s What That Actually Means:
I research and vet every recommendation to ensure you’ll feel genuinely welcome.
I work with local partners who celebrate diverse travelers, not just tolerate them.
I know which spaces will make you feel seen and which ones….won’t
I handle all the details so you can focus on experiencing the joy and restoration you deserve.
BIPOC travelers shouldn’t have to wonder if they’ll be comfortable in paradise. That’s my job to figure out beforehand – so all you have to do is show up and shine.
I’m Simone. And I plan travel like it’s personal — because it is.
Because representation in beautiful spaces isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s a necessity.
