About Mindy and Suzie

Summary

 

Mother-daughter advisors Mindy and Suzie specialize in multi-generational family travel, offering three decades of relationship-driven expertise. We craft highly personalized trips across Asia (Japan, Vietnam, South Korea, Thailand, Cambodia), alongside milestone celebrations and small-group wine experiences in Europe. Our hallmark is meticulous, trust-based planning that prioritizes family connection and handles every detail, blending legacy and fresh perspective across generations.

​

Who We Are

 

We are Mindy and Suzie, mother-daughter travel advisors with 30 years of trusted client relationships and a second generation of expertise. What began as one woman's commitment to building real relationships with her clients has grown into a family business built on the same values, just with twice the perspective.

​

What We Specialize In

​

  • Multi-generational family travel across Asia, with deep expertise in Japan, Vietnam, South Korea, Thailand, and Cambodia.

  • Milestone celebrations as dedicated milestone trip planners.

  • Small-group wine experiences in Europe’s most celebrated wine regions.

​

How We Plan

​

  • Every trip we plan is built around time together, family connection, curiosity, and the confidence that comes from knowing every detail is handled.

​

Who We Serve

​

  • Families gathering three generations around a dinner table in Kyoto.

  • Couples celebrating 50 years in Italy.

  • Professionals who work hard and want their time away to actually feel like time away.

  • Grandparents introducing grandchildren to cultures that will shape who they become. This work requires real relationships, not volume, and we have built our business around exactly that.

​

Our Experience and Relationships

​

  • Mindy brings three decades of client relationships, both with the families she serves and with trusted partners on the ground across the world who make extraordinary travel possible.

  • Those relationships are not transactional; they are the result of years of trust, repeat business, and a reputation built one trip at a time.

  • Suzie brings a second generation of expertise and a genuine understanding of what families want travel to feel like today, blending that legacy with a fresh perspective on how multi-generational travel is evolving.

​

Continuity Across Generations

​

Together, we offer something rare in this industry: continuity across generations, both in our relationships and in our expertise. Good travel planning and good relationships are built the same way—over time, with care, and by truly knowing the people involved. Your travel style, your family dynamics, your standards, and the stories you want to bring home shape every trip we design.

​

Invitation

​

If you are planning a trip that matters, we would be honored to help you get it right.
