The First Grand Gallivant

We have participated in two tours organized by Sarah and both were extraordinary. I would follow her to any spot on the planet and know the trip would be fascinating and delicious. She is incomparable! She’s the goddess of travel. Hidden gems cannot escape her gaze. Oh, I could go on, and on, and on.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Michi. In all my years as a freelance journalist, I have never encountered a publicist that I have connected with on this level. Michi not only went above and beyond to provide a diverse itinerary (for my time in Seattle and beyond) that catered to my editorial needs, but she also is a very personable and authentic person, something very refreshing in this industry. The itinerary didn't lack excitement; from memorable dining experiences to local encounters to visiting several parts of the beautiful state of Washington to outdoor adventures, Michi managed to take every single thing I wanted to see or experience to create a perfect itinerary. Numerous angles have come from my trip, which as a journalist makes my life so much easier and makes a trip much more enjoyable. I look forward to the possibility of working with Michi in the future.

Sarah crafted one of the most unforgettable trips I’ve ever taken. From the moment we arrived, every day was filled with beauty—sun-drenched vineyards, exquisite meals, intimate tastings, and warm conversations with locals. Her deep connection to the region opened doors we never could have found ourselves, especially in Montpellier, where we explored hidden corners of the medieval city. I truly fell in love with the rhythm of life in southern France. For the first time in years, I wasn’t ready to come home.

Normally, I plan my own travels—but handing it over to Sarah was the best decision. She brought us to places you can’t Google—tiny wine estates, local celebrations, quiet beaches. The whole experience felt spontaneous but perfectly curated. Zero stress, just real connection with the place. I didn’t want to leave.

Sarah curated a trip that was both indulgent and deeply rooted in local culture. Think private tastings, sunset dinners, hidden galleries. Every detail was flawlessly arranged, yet nothing felt ‘touristy.’ It’s the kind of travel that feels both exclusive and truly human. I left enchanted by the region—and already planning my return.

We’re not into tourist traps, and Sarah’s trip was everything we hoped for. It was real—markets, hilltop villages, swimming in secret coves. She gave us the freedom to explore and the joy of discovering places most travelers miss. Laid-back, soulful, and unforgettable.

I felt like I was walking through the pages of history—but with better food and wine! Sarah’s insight into the Viticultural heritage of the region brought everything alive. It wasn’t just informative—it was immersive. I left with new knowledge, lasting memories, and a deep connection to southern France.

Traveling alone can be intimidating, but with Sarah, it felt safe, warm, and open. I could join the group when I wanted or explore quietly on my own. There was no pressure—just genuine experiences, thoughtful guidance, and beautiful moments of stillness. I found a sense of peace I didn’t expect.
