My specialties
Travel has always been my passion. My earliest memory of falling in love with exploring the world goes back to my first visit to Epcot as a very young child. I will never forget my family handing me that map and telling me we would be visiting all these countries… TODAY! I was floored. I stared at the cartoon depictions of each spot on the map for every hour of every line we waited in. I wanted to soak up every detail: the food, the architecture, the souvenirs, the entertainment. That curiosity has never left me and in my adulthood, led me to visit multiple countries, attempt to teach myself Italian and Greek (attempt being the key word), and even start an ongoing project to experience every country through its cuisine – my World Food Adventure. Today, I’m fortunate to have two amazing roles at Evyssa Vacations. As Csilla’s assistant, I provide white-glove service for her beautifully curated, one-of-a-kind itineraries. Watching her craft trips that are as seamless as they are extraordinary has inspired me to bring that same level of care to the trips I plan for my own clients. I specialize in curating unique, immersive travel experiences. I want our trips to be more than a vacation and full of experiences that touch your soul —whether that’s a stay in a castle, an underwater suite, a tented camp in Africa, a ryokan in Japan or slowing down and eating a delicious meal while staring at the Alps without another tourist in sight. My approach is personalized, focusing on those magical, unforgettable moments that make a trip truly special.

A Personal Review of Brown’s Hotel – Luxury in the Heart of Mayfair, London
Some hotels dazzle with grandeur, while others wrap you in the kind of warmth that feels like home—albeit with an air of effortless elegance. Brown’s Hotel, part of the Rocco Forte Collection, is a rare blend of both. Stepping through its doors, you’re not just entering a luxury hotel; you’re stepping into a living piece of London’s history, carefully reimagined for the modern traveler. For nearly two centuries, Brown’s has hosted some of the world’s most fascinating figures—Theodore Roosevelt, Mark Twain, Agatha Christie, and even Alexander Graham Bell, who placed Britain’s first telephone call from within these walls. But while its legacy lingers, its ambiance is anything but dated. A series of interconnected townhouses, the hotel offers a sense of refined intimacy, making each stay feel as though you’ve been welcomed into an exclusive Mayfair residence.

Cordoba: Transit or Stopover Destination?
Cordoba is one of those cities that stays with you long after you leave. I’ll admit, the first time I visited, I treated it as just a quick stop between Seville and Granada. But after revisiting it in November 2024, I realized how wrong I was. The Mezquita-Catedral left me speechless, but the real magic of Cordoba is in the little things—the narrow streets, the hidden restaurants, the warm smiles of the locals. Trust me, Cordoba deserves so much more than just a passing glance.
