Some destinations are first discovered on a map.

Others begin in the pages of a book.

From beautiful Assouline volumes and destination guides to beach reads, memoirs, and novels that inspire future adventures, these are the books currently finding a home on our shelves, coffee tables, and in our carry-ons.

Whether you're looking for inspiration for your next journey or simply a wonderful place to escape for an afternoon, you'll find a few favorites here.


Like any good collection, this one is always evolving.

New finds, old favorites, and future obsessions will continue to appear here as they're discovered, recommended, borrowed, gifted, and occasionally purchased despite having absolutely no remaining shelf space. 

Stay tuned. More stories are on the way.

"Marla helped us plan the most perfect, worry-free trip ever!
Every detail was carefully planned and prepared so we were able to completely enjoy our vacation.
Our flights, transfers, hotels, tours, activities, etc.
were well thought out based on her knowledge of us and our wants and needs.
Every place we stayed was first class, and the tours and activities we did were absolutely perfect. "

"The level of detail that Marla puts into her trip planning leaves very little chance for things to go wrong! Also, the fact that she assured us that she was just a phone call, text or email away no matter the time (or day) was a great relief for us. Marla’s travel knowledge is amazing, we are planning to use her services for many years to come!"

"Like a Travel Fairy Godmother! Working with Marla is an absolute joy, and the world needs more people like her. Her experience, knowledge, and attention to detail is deeply appreciated, and she genuinely cares about the health and safety of my family, especially as we try to navigate traveling during this ever changing pandemic. Marla is a treasure."

"The trip was meticulously planned by Marla and I did not experience one bit of exhaustion. I simply checked the app before bed to determine what time we needed to wake up. Then I scrolled thru the meticulously planned day, as the day progressed. From dining, entertainment, VIP Tour Guides and black car service, not one detail was missed. It was a fabulous trip that my family and I will repeat."
