Travel That Feels Like Coming Home to Yourself

Travel isn’t about escaping — it’s about returning to what truly matters. The joy of discovery, the comfort of knowing every detail is cared for, the deep connection to a new place that feels just right.

You want experiences that are joyful, enriching, and entirely your own. Where luxury isn’t about excess, but about ease, authenticity, and the freedom to immerse oneself completely.

The most fulfilling journeys don't take you away from your life—they bring more meaning to it.

Introducing Sarah Sturges Travel

A collage of nine different travel and leisure scenes including two people hiking in a forest, a coastal harbor with boats, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, a patio with poolside furniture, two women in front of classical sculptures, a narrow canal with colorful buildings, a woman with outstretched arms in a field, a canal in Italy, and a person practicing yoga on a wooded path.

I’m passionate about the idea that your travels should be as unique and intentional as the life you’ve built.

I craft journeys that unfold like a beautiful story — one that is entirely your own. Every detail is curated to reflect your rhythm, your desires, and the way you would like to experience the world

It’s about stepping into a destination and feeling instantly at ease, knowing that the finest accommodations, the most enriching experiences, and the perfect balance of exploration and relaxation are already in place.

With deep expertise, privileged access, and a concierge-level approach, I’ll transform your travels into something rare, something meaningful…something only you could have.

Because the best journeys aren’t just planned; they’re designed with precision, care, and a deep understanding of what truly makes travel extraordinary.

This is more than luxury travel. This is the art of traveling well. This is where we begin…

Destinations That Speak to Your Soul

While every journey I create is entirely bespoke, there are destinations our clients return to time and again — places that offer the perfect blend of relaxation and exploration.

These are just a few of the destinations we love, but my expertise extends far beyond this list. Wherever you dream of traveling, I’ll craft an experience that feel wholly your own.

"Travel isn’t about how many places you visit, but how deeply you experience them. True luxury is moving through the world with intention, immersing, savoring, and feeling inspired wherever you go."

KIND WORDS

  • "Sarah, your sage advice is a blessing; you think of everything with the utmost concern for us - where would we be without you! I literally feel like I am cradled in loving hands working with you as we navigate this journey together. After four planned and cancelled Italian adventures, it strikes me that our first trip (finally) was destined to be curated by you. We haven’t even departed and I feel like I have already connected to the country in a gentle way. Grazie mille Sarah, grazie mille!"

    Leslie and Tom Ruggiero

  • "Your consultation service made a very real difference in planning our January trip to Portugal, and in our on the ground enjoyment while there. We really appreciated your app with the daily events, contacts, reminders; if there was a question, the answer was probably right there on the phone. Because you had already worked with other clients visiting Lisbon I’m sure we benefited from their feedback that you were able to offer on hotels and lots of other things. Pat promises to take me to Sweden for my birthday this fall, so we will be talking to you about that before long."

    Michael and Pat Henderson

  • "We fully know the effort and time you put into what you so passionately do. ...There are no words - at least in English! - to adequately express my gratitude for all the care you put into curating our adventure in Italy! xoxoxox

    Leslie and Tom Ruggiero

  • "We are adventurous and well travelled, and had never used a travel advisor previously. We were not sure if it was worth the investment but this trip was to a part of the world we had no prior experience with and wanted some extra reassurance on our accommodation choices, our time management and our safety. We were juggling a lot of moving parts with multiple family members traveling from multiple locations (including multiple countries of origin) with multiple interests, to be achieved within a budget and a short booking lead time and Sarah helped achieve all of the above. "

  • "We have been frequent independent travelers abroad, and this was our first group experience. We were a bit apprehensive, but having had a chance to interact with you and Stefano we were confident that at least our leadership would be first rate! In fact our fellow travelers were delightful, the camaraderie added a very positive dynamic to the tour, and your planning and delivery was a constant source of admiration and gratitude. Especially for those with an interest in wine and the culture surrounding it, Stefano is a uniquely qualified guide."

    Michael and Pat Henderson

  • The process was very collaborative on the front end but it was while we were there that we agreed having her services were worth every penny. The transports, the streamlined app, and the troubleshooting with what could have been an a complete unforeseen disaster brought our stress level from a 10 to a 2 in minutes. She was a true life line. We would and have highly recommended her services to anyone looking to travel, particularly to Marakkesh and the Agafay dessert. It was a trip of a lifetime that my family will not forget."

Meet Sarah, Founder & CEO

Hi, I’m Sarah. Originally from Boston, and with a background in sales, I spent years as a yoga instructor and retreat leader, helping people find balance in movement, mindfulness, and daily life. That same philosophy guides the way I design travel — a seamless blend of exploration and relaxation, indulgence and intention.

Luxury, to me, isn’t about excess — it’s about ease, authenticity, and experiences that feel effortless yet deeply fulfilling. Whether it’s a quiet morning in the Umbrian countryside or a private wine tasting by the Mediterranean, travel should feel as natural and enriching as the life you love.

I live in northern Italy for most of the year, which gives me a front-row seat to the rhythm of life here: the seasons, the festivals, the food, and the beauty in everyday moments. When it comes to wine-focused travel or discovering the lesser-known corners of Italy, I consult with my husband, Stefano —a Certified Sommelier and Italian native — whose expertise adds another layer of richness to the experience.

Let’s craft a journey that feels like coming home to yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • While we're proudly based in Italy and the US, our expertise spans the globe. From Morocco to Mexico, Japan to the UK, we’ve designed unforgettable journeys on nearly every continent. Nothing is off the table—see where our clients have been and dream big.

  • We’re compensated through a combination of client fees and commissions from our trusted in-destination partners. Our planning fees cover the time, expertise, and care we put into crafting your trip — from our first conversation to your safe return. These fees ensure our recommendations are based solely on what’s best for you, not on commissions.

  • Not necessarily. While we charge planning fees, hotel rates booked through us are often the same as what you’d find online — sometimes even better. Plus, you gain access to added value like upgrades, VIP perks, and round-the-clock local support through our destination partners.

  • You can, but AI won’t text you back at 5am while you're in the middle of the desert. And you won't be first in line for an upgrade when booking a hotel yourself. We offer real support, real connections, and a level of care technology alone can’t replicate.

  • Absolutely. This is your journey —we’re here to guide and refine. From curated hotel options to itinerary revisions, we make planning collaborative, flexible, and tailored to your vision.
