BEHIND THE PLANNING
I'M ANGELA
I didn’t come into this work because I was looking for a career in travel. I was more interested in paying attention.
To how people move through a place. To what changes the feeling of a room, a meal, a day. To the small details that create ease, beauty, connection — often before anyone realizes they matter.
Years spent working across wellness, retreats, hospitality, and creative work sharpened that instinct. I learned to read an experience as a whole: the pacing, the setting, the people, the culture, the atmosphere. Somewhere along the way, I realized I had been curating travel all along.
Today, that refined eye shapes everything I do.
For more than twenty years, I’ve built relationships with exceptional properties, local communities, and people doing remarkable work around the world. Costa Rica has been part of my life for twenty-five of those years, giving me the kind of regional knowledge that only comes with time.
My work is personal by design — thoughtful itineraries, trusted recommendations, cultural depth, and a regenerative approach woven naturally into where you stay, what you experience, and how you move through a place.
What It's Like to Work Together
I know how important our travel is, and I want the planning to feel just as good as the trip itself. Calm, clear, collaborative, and free from the endless guesswork that can come with trying to piece everything together on your own.
We begin with a conversation. I listen, ask the right questions, and get a sense of how you like to travel. From there, I refine the options, bring in the right ideas and recommendations, and shape the details around what matters most to you.
Travel is never one-size-fits-all. Some journeys call for a full itinerary, others for a single well-placed recommendation. My role is to guide when needed, step back when it makes sense, and open the right doors so the process feels natural, personal, and genuinely enjoyable.
