As a Fora Travel Advisor, I plan journeys that go beyond the ordinary—thoughtfully tailored to your style, your pace, and the moments you’ll remember most. Whether it’s a serene island escape, a winding walk through a storied city, or a table at that perfect little restaurant, I help bring your travel dreams to life with creativity and care.

When you book hotels through me, you’ll enjoy exclusive VIP perks like room upgrades, daily breakfast, resort credits, and early check-in or late check-out whenever possible. You’ll also have access to the best available rates—and still earn points and elite status with your preferred hotel programs.

Let’s create something exceptional—beautifully planned, effortlessly executed. You can find out more on my Fora Travel page.

This site began with the idea of a dog-eared notebook keeping record of our family travels both near and far: places visited, favorite experiences, good restaurants, lovely hotels and villa rentals, etc, etc. An easy reference to send to friends with destination requests as well as sort of a diary for myself.

You won’t find ads or Insta-influencer type posts here. What you will find are destination lists and itineraries, stories, recommendations, and hopefully heaps of inspiration as you craft your own journey around this beautiful world.

Buon Viaggio!!
Amy Baker
