Travel, Reimagined.
BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED ESCAPES WITH SOUL.
For couples and families who crave presence, beauty, and time well spent.
The right trip doesn’t ask you to overthink it.
It should feel intuitive. Effortless in the best way. But somehow, the more you care about the experience, the harder it becomes to plan.
You want something beautiful but not overly curated. Intentional but not rigid. Something that feels considered without requiring you to manage every detail.
This is where we step in.
At The Modern Traveler, we design highly personal escapes to Italy, Greece, and France for travelers who value good taste, thoughtful pacing, and distinctive experiences that unfold naturally without having to map it all out themselves.
From long lunches at vineyard estates to private boat days along the coast, every detail is chosen with care so you can sink in and simply be present.
You pick the dates. We’ll take it from there.
Our Services
The Signature Journey
Your time is limited. Your taste is not. This is our full-service travel design experience for couples and families who want presence over pressure and a trip that feels as considered as it is beautiful. From the hotel you’ll never stop talking about to the moments you don’t have to manage, everything is chosen with intention so you can land, settle in, and just be.
This isn’t just travel.
This is the art of knowing what matters.
You don’t need more choices. You need alignment between what you love, what you need, and how you want to feel while you're away.
This isn’t about checking boxes or rushing through a list of sights. It’s about staying somewhere that feels like a breath of fresh air. A place with depth, warmth, and real texture not just a beautiful hotel.
Whether it’s a private lunch inside a wine cave, where the vineyard owner pours wines only sold on-site or a vintage convertible ride through lavender fields, ending with a tasting in a 17th-century château, nothing is chosen by chance. Every detail is placed with care.
We handle the details. You get to fully show up.
CLIENT LOVE NOTE
“WE NEVER COULD HAVE MADE THIS TRIP HAPPEN WITHOUT ADRIANNA SWOOPING IN TO SAVE THE DAY! MY HUSBAND COMPARED IT TO HAVING A LOCAL PLAN OUR TRIP. ”

Your Trip Deserves a Human Touch
I’m Adrianna, a travel designer, former event planner, and full-time nomad who’s lived across Europe with my partner and learned a lot about what makes a trip feel incredible… and what quietly ruins it.
I work with people who carry a lot in their day-to-day lives, professionals, parents, founders, couples who want their travel to be the one place they don’t have to manage.
The trips I design are meant to feel like a deep exhale, with experiences that feel natural instead of overproduced and often unfold in ways you wouldn’t have known to ask for.
I obsess over the details that actually matter: the rhythm of your days, where you stay, and how you’re received once you arrive. I work with a small number of clients so I can stay close to every trip, drawing on trusted local relationships and making decisions the same way I’d make them for myself.
Thoughtful. Unrushed. Never generic.
