Based in World
Hello! I'm Stephanie Smeekens, a dedicated travel advisor based in Silicon Valley. As a proud boy mom with a bustling day job, I've cultivated a deep passion for travel that fuels my desire to explore new destinations and create unforgettable experiences for my clients. My expertise spans several areas, including San Francisco, Santa Barbara, family travel, and city adventures. I specialize in crafting personalized itineraries that balance meticulous planning with the freedom for spontaneous exploration. My ever-growing list of places to visit and restaurants to try reflects my commitment to discovering the best each destination has to offer. One of my favorite accommodations is The Ritz-Carlton Bacara in Santa Barbara. This tranquil coastal hotel offers direct access to two beautiful beaches, providing a serene backdrop for relaxation. Guests enjoy exclusive perks such as a $100 hotel or resort credit, daily breakfast, and complimentary upgrades and extended check-in/out whenever possible. Another standout is the Fairmont Austin, a modern hotel that combines luxury service with a large pool, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration. Similar to the Bacara, guests receive a $100 resort or hotel credit, daily breakfast, and potential upgrades and extended check-in/out. For those seeking a European escape, Raffles Le Royal Monceau in Paris offers a polished art hotel experience in the heart of the city. With luxurious rooms and suites, it's an ideal base for immersing oneself in Parisian culture. Client satisfaction is at the heart of my services. For instance, Lane Gallett S. shared, "Stephanie was fantastic! She found creative options to address our needs and was so helpful and responsive! She got answers to all our questions and checked in on us before, during, and after our stay. Will definitely book with her in the future!" Similarly, Bethany C. recounted, "Stephanie was amazingly helpful. Normally I like planning trips but with our new 10-month-old son, I just didn't have the time or energy in me, but desperately needed a relaxing vacation. Stephanie made it so easy and found us an amazing resort that fit all my requests." Whether you're planning a family getaway, a romantic retreat, or a solo adventure, I'm here to help you design a trip that aligns with your unique preferences and creates lasting memories. Let's embark on your next journey together!
