About us

Michi has the wonderful ability of bringing people together for incredible experiences in locations both far and near. Our experience in Puglia was no exception – amazing locales, fun activities and good food and wine. What a gift to be a part of these adventures!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Our trip to Puglia, organized by Michi, was an unforgettable blend of vibrant local flavors and hidden coastal gems. Every meal, from fresh orecchiette to exquisite regional wines, was a delightful reminder of Italy’s passion for life and culinary artistry. One of the most memorable experiences was spending sun-soaked afternoons swimming in the Adriatic and enjoying a scenic boat tour, where we couldn’t help but sing "Volare" at the top of our lungs. And how could we not mention the incredible sunset dinner set in a vineyard, the scenic bicycle tour, and all the charming strolls through rustic towns? A lifetime of memories in one trip!

Traveling with Michi and Sarah has been nothing short of extraordinary. On our first European adventure, Sarah expertly arranged our time in the south of France—where we savored exquisite wines, enjoyed scenic vineyard picnics, and relished fresh oysters paired with crisp white wine—while Michi led us through an inspiring exploration of Barcelona’s iconic sites and culinary treasures. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, ensuring a seamless and delightful experience.

Our 2024 Italian journey further showcased Michi’s passion for travel. From Rome’s historic landmarks and a fun scooter tour on Ischia to an immersive day-by-day adventure through Puglia with 38 friends, Michi flawlessly coordinated every element. Her ability to accommodate diverse needs—from varying food preferences to lodging and transportation—combined with her warmth, professionalism, and infectious humor, truly exceeded our expectations. Thank you, Michi and Sarah, for curating such incredible journeys. We eagerly await our next adventure together!

It takes a rare talent to plan a trip for such a large group of diverse people from all over the country (and world for that matter) and bring them together to experience and enjoy one of Italy’s most beautiful and historic regions: Puglia. Michi Suzuki knows people, food and places. That combination makes magic happen. Somehow, over forty of us converged on Puglia, woke every morning to a new adventure, and fell in love with the people and sights of Puglia. This is all thanks to Michi and the relationships she developed with everyone from boat captains to baristas to chefs and bus drivers. 

At the end of the trip we left feeling satisfied, yet wanting to return sometime in the future - the signs of a perfect vacation/celebration.

Besides my wedding, the trip that Michi planned to Puglia, Italy, was the best experience of my life. From the planned events, meals cooked to perfection and every moment in between with friends was filled with joy.

My trip to Puglia was an incredible experience thanks to our incredible organizer, Michi, who arranged for an amazing Trulli Villa, as our home base, which included a full service morning espresso and breakfast bar. Daily excursions included trips to hill towns and seaside villages in the region, all of which were charming, had amazing local specialties and were filled with quality artisan shops. The most memorable part of our trip was an electric bike tour that took us through the countryside outside of Locorotondo with a local guide who shared the history and traditions of the region – a not-to-be missed experience for sure!

This was the trip of a lifetime, and thanks to all the meticulous planning it felt effortless. From the locations to the activities to the meals,  it was all perfect. What I especially loved was the right mix of active and more relaxing activities, and the choice of restaurants was incredible. I think they even vetted the staff because everywhere we went, from boat rides to bike rides to dinners, we were treated with open hearts and big smiles.

Thanks to Michi our trip to Puglia was one of the most memorable European vacations we’ve ever had. 

She so adeptly organized and curated experiences, including intimate meals with chefs, large events held on family farms and day trips to visit historically significant towns, all to enrich our travel experience. 

Michi has a gift of bringing people together and ensuring a special experience for each person to savor, to connect with one another and the local culture. Brava Bella!

Our trip to Puglia made memories for a lifetime and a whole group of new friends. Crafted with care and a knack for balancing food, wine, and fun, the trip perfectly paced between adventure and downtime. The restaurants were the best and enhanced the experience of the Puglia region. From the Alberobello vistas to the cave tours and the group dinner on the last night, Michi and her unique know-how and care made this trip so memorable. It wasn’t just a trip but an experience we will never forget, for which we are grateful.

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.

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.
