SARAH STURGES TRAVEL | ABOUT ME

Mindful Travel Designed Just for You

Meaningful journeys rooted in beauty, balance, and connection.

Hi, I’m Sarah,

A woman practicing yoga or meditation, sitting cross-legged on a wooden floor in a bright room with large windows, wearing a black turtleneck and black leggings.

A registered travel advisor and certified yoga instructor with a lifelong passion for wellness, good food, fine wine, and meaningful experiences.

My travel journey began as a yoga teacher in Boston, where I spent over 15 years leading retreats, teaching mindfulness, and helping people reconnect with themselves. That practice is still at the heart of everything I do…only now, I bring it into the way I design travel.

I believe the best kind of travel is slow.

The kind that gives you space to breathe it all in - to connect deeply with a place, linger over a beautiful meal, and really feel the rhythm of local life. For me, travel is a practice in presence. It’s how I live, how I learn, and how I serve the clients I’m lucky enough to work with.

Today, I work with thoughtful travelers — people like you — who value quality over quantity.

You’ve done the whirlwind tours or you’ve spent hours researching destinations, planning your own travel. Now, you’re craving something more personal. Something slower, more immersive, and beautifully effortless.

You want to stay in the kind of places you’d never find on your own.

To sip wine made by people you’ve actually met. To know every detail of your trip is handled with care, by someone who truly understands what matters to you. That’s where I come in.

Whether you're planning a special celebration, an immersive retreat, or simply need someone you trust to design a seamless, beautiful escape — I'm here to take the pressure off and turn your vision into something unforgettable.

Working alongside me is my husband, Stefano.

He is a Certified Sommelier and Italian Wine Scholar with a deeply-rooted passion for wine—not just its taste, but its story. Originally from Verona, he brings a lifetime of local knowledge and years of expertise in the wine world.

Stefano offers curated wine experiences across Italy, from private tastings and vineyard visits to immersive journeys into the heart of Italian wine culture. Whether you'd like to add a tasting to your itinerary or plan an entire wine-focused trip, Stefano’s experiences are a beautiful way to connect with Italy and France — glass by glass.

Our life revolves around moments of joy: a glass of Barolo at golden hour, a peaceful morning walk in the hills, laughter with locals over a lovingly prepared meal. We believe that travel should be nourishing — not just for you, but for the planet and the communities you meet along the way.

Together, we love introducing clients to the real Italy…the one that doesn’t always make the guidebooks.

Sustainable by Nature, Intentional by Design

Sustainability, to me, begins with intention. Is your trip sustainable for you — financially, emotionally, energetically?

Is it sustainable for the planet and the communities you’ll touch along the way? These are the questions that guide everything I create.

I take a holistic approach to travel, curating experiences that honor your rhythm, respect the environment, and support the local people who make each destination so special.

As the Eclectus Travel “Champion” for Serandipians’ Pristine Mood— “sustainability hive”, I’m proud to advocate for conscious, eco-forward travel that protects the beauty of the places we love most.

Because the best journeys don’t just change you, they help take care of the world, too.

"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 at home wherever you go."

Our Values

Be Present

Every trip we plan is rooted in mindfulness and connection, with yourself, your surroundings, and your senses. We take the time to listen, to understand, and to create space for clarity. From our first conversation to your final departure, you’ll feel supported, seen, and never rushed.
Savor The Moment

Good food. Good wine. Good company. We believe in celebrating the art of slowing down and soaking it all in. Travel should be a joy from start to finish. We bring care, warmth, and a sense of celebration to every stage of the process, because your experience begins long before you pack a bag.
Tread Lightly

Sustainability isn’t a feature, it’s a mindset. We prioritize thoughtful choices that honor the environment, uplift local communities, and protect the beauty of the places we love. Our approach respects not just the land you travel across, but your own energy, time, and resources — so your journey feels as sustainable for you as it does for the planet.
With Intention

Nothing here is one-size-fits-all. Every journey is curated with purpose, aligned with your values, and reflective of what you truly need. We don’t just plan trips—we create experiences that feel like a return to yourself.
