Time really does fly when you’re curating unforgettable journeys. This year marks the 5-year anniversary of A Girl & A Bag Boutique Travel Designers—and what a journey it’s been! When I first started this business in 2020, I had a vision to help people travel better. What I didn’t know then was how much that vision would evolve into something so much bigger—a brand dedicated to adults-only luxury travel, bespoke experiences, and effortless escapes.
Laying the Foundation
Before launching A Girl & A Bag, I knew I wanted to build a strong foundation in the travel industry. I completed The Travel Institute’s TripKit online program, which gave me the industry knowledge and expertise to confidently guide my clients through unforgettable travel experiences. That education, combined with my passion for elevated travel, set the stage for what was to come.
From Booking Everything to Booking the Best
When I launched A Girl & A Bag, I was ready to book anything and everything—family trips, budget-friendly stays, group getaways—whatever my clients needed. But along the way, I realized my heart was in curating luxury experiences for adults who wanted more than just a trip—they wanted an elevated journey. In 2022, I made the bold decision to specialize in adults-only luxury travel, focusing exclusively on 4- and 5-star accommodations, private experiences, and elevated service. It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for both my business and my clients.
Unlocking VIP Status
By 2023, I introduced the VIP Program—a next-level service for my most loyal clients. VIP status meant priority access to my services, personalized attention, and exclusive perks that go beyond what money can buy. The program was designed to reward those who trusted me with their travel dreams, offering them more access and even more unforgettable experiences.
A Fresh New Look
With growth comes evolution. In 2024, I rebranded A Girl & A Bag with new colors, a fresh logo, and a sharper focuson the luxurious, effortless experiences my clients expect. The new look is more than just aesthetics—it’s a reflection of how far the brand has come and the elevated standard I’ve set for every trip I design.
What’s Next: Bespoke Beyond Bookings
I’m always looking for ways to give my clients more of what they love. Coming in March 2025, I’ll be launching my custom itinerary service—perfect for travelers who crave expert recommendations without needing full-service planning. Whether you’re looking for hidden gem restaurants, boutique hotels, or exclusive experiences, this service will give you insider access to curated recommendations that can’t be Googled.
Thank You for 5 Incredible Years
None of this would be possible without my clients—those who trust me to turn their travel dreams into reality. Whether you’ve been with me since the beginning or you’re just discovering A Girl & A Bag, thank you for being part of this journey.
Here’s to the next five years—filled with exclusive experiences, unforgettable moments, and the kind of travel that feels like luxury, redefined.
