Travel should feel exciting, not overwhelming. Yet anyone who has tried to plan a complex trip knows how quickly the internet can turn inspiration into decision fatigue.
That’s where I come in.
I founded Amore Travel Designs because I believe travel should be thoughtfully designed, deeply personal, and completely seamless. My role is to take your ideas and turn them into a journey that feels effortless from the moment you leave home.
Instead of sending endless options, I focus on curating the right experience for you — the hotel with the perfect view, the guide who brings a destination to life, and the moments you’ll remember years later.
Over the years I’ve developed a strong focus on immersive, high-end travel experiences.
Some of my specialties include:
Many of my clients return year after year because they trust that every trip will be carefully curated and uniquely theirs.
Every itinerary begins with a conversation.
I want to understand how you like to travel — your pace, your interests, the type of experiences that excite you, and what would make the journey truly memorable.
From there I design a fully customized itinerary that may include:
My goal is simple: you enjoy the journey while I handle the details.
Travel today is filled with choices. What my clients value most is having someone they trust to guide them through those decisions.
Working with me means:
Most importantly, it means having someone in your corner who genuinely cares that your journey exceeds expectations.
Some travel moments that never get old for me:
Those are the experiences that make travel unforgettable.
Whether you’re dreaming about Europe, an African safari, a river cruise, or a milestone celebration trip, I would love to help you bring it to life.

I will never book a vacation through anyone else!!
Cathy made the process seamless and catered to our every request. She found luxury spots and truly knows so much about location, quality and where to go & avoid. We had big plans for a group of 10 and needed our trip booked quick and it was AMAZING!!! She found us 3 connected beachfront suites, a yacht and a private plane in under 2 weeks! Highly highly recommend Amore Travel and its affiliates!!!
Italia!!
Cathy was very helpful as we planned our latest Italian getaway. We enjoyed parts of Italy we hadn’t experienced before and were so thankful for her experience and expertise. She and her husband were so helpful as we encountered some unexpected setbacks (we will avoid traveling to Europe in June/July if possible in the future!) that were threatening to (and did at points) derail us from our planned getaway. Their responsiveness and earnest desire to help us mitigate the wrinkles gave us the support we needed so we could create opportunities to improve our situation. Thank you Cathy for your efforts to get the documentation we needed for travel insurance. It’s still pending, but thank you for your expediency. Look forward to another trip with you all again. Our heartfelt gratitude 🙏🏼
Italy – Superb Job!
We have been so busy since our return from Italy I haven’t been able to send you this email until now. I just wanted you to know that Tom and I were so happy with everything on the trip. We were both pleasantly surprised how smoothly everything went. All the tours and guides were excellent! We hope to be giving you a call again. Thanks so much.
Once again, the Amore Team exceeded our wildest expectations!
We started with just a desire to spend some time with a family member in Prague and perhaps visit the ancestral home in Poland, with not much of a plan beyond that. But after our chat with Cathy, she was able to craft a remarkable 17-day journey that took us to many lovely places in countries that were reasonably nearby, with stays in Prague, Poznan, Krakow, Vienna, Salzburg and Munich. The thoughtful itinerary balanced structured tours interspersed with sufficient down time to explore hidden corners on our own. … All-in-all, another home run by Amore!
Italy Perfection!
Our first trip to Europe and only think we knew was we wanted to go to Italy. Contacted Cathy and everything was taken care of from there. We let her know the cities we wanted to see, Rome and Florence, the attractions that were important to us, the biggies that you all know, and she took care of everything from there including flights, beautiful hotels, transportation to everything and guides. The drivers were wonderful. … Anyway, the trip could not have gone better. Cathy took care of everything. Very, very, very highly recommended if you are planning any kind of travel.
Superb Destination Wedding!
Cathy was beyond amazing! I called her and let her know I wanted to have a wedding in Cancun September of 2024! She sent me high rated options and once I picked a resort she made me a site to send out to all my friends and family! She was easy to work with and made sure all our needs were met!
Italy holds a special place in my heart because every visit feels like stepping into a living masterpiece. The architecture, landscapes, cuisine, and culture create an atmosphere that is both inspiring and deeply welcoming. What I love most is helping travelers experience Italy beyond the obvious highlights, discovering hidden villages, incredible food, and unforgettable moments along the way.
I absolutely love planning African safaris because they are truly life-changing experiences. There is something magical about watching wildlife in its natural habitat, whether it’s elephants moving quietly across the plains or lions resting beneath acacia trees. Designing safaris is incredibly rewarding because every itinerary feels unique, combining breathtaking landscapes, extraordinary wildlife encounters, and beautiful lodges that make the entire journey unforgettable.
France has a way of engaging all the senses. I love the feeling of sitting at a small café with a glass of wine, wandering through historic streets that have stood for centuries, and discovering regional dishes that tell the story of the place. From the elegance of Paris to the vineyards of Burgundy and Bordeaux, France invites travelers to slow down and savor every moment.
I love planning journeys through the UK because it offers such a wonderful mix of history, culture, and landscapes. From the energy of London to the quiet beauty of the English countryside and the dramatic scenery of the Scottish Highlands, every itinerary can feel completely different. It’s especially rewarding to design trips that combine iconic experiences with hidden villages, historic castles, and unforgettable moments along the way.

St. Lucia isn't just beautiful — it's warm, unhurried, and quietly extraordinary. I spent a week exploring the island's most celebrated luxury properties, and what I found might surprise you.

Florence deserves every bit of its reputation. But some of the best moments in Tuscany happen just beyond the city limits — on wine estates, at family-run trattorias, and along roads that wind through vineyards no tour bus will ever find.

There's a moment on a European river cruise that almost every first-timer describes the same way: they wake up, look out the cabin window, and realize the scenery has completely changed overnight — and they never had to pack a bag.
