MEET EMILY BOOKEY

Emily’s passion for travel began at a young age—watching television shows about people exploring the world and dreaming of the day she might do the same. Growing up in northern Minnesota, she came from humble beginnings and didn’t have the opportunity to travel early on. But those early dreams became her motivation, and today, she’s built a successful career helping others experience the world in ways she once only imagined.

​

With over a decade of experience and multiple industry awards, Emily designs custom travel experiences with precision, intention, and expertise. She works with discerning clients who value quality, clarity, and a seamless planning process—many of whom return year after year, trip after trip.

​

Her focus today is on luxury travel, with an emphasis on elevated accommodations, private experiences, and curated itineraries across Europe, Mexico, and the Caribbean. She also specializes in destination weddings—helping couples simplify the logistics and celebrate in unforgettable settings.

​

A dual Italian citizen who has traveled to Italy more than 30 times, Emily is especially known for her deep knowledge of Italy and the greater European region—with her favorite destinations including the Amalfi Coast, Tuscany, and Rome, her home away from home. She believes in giving her clients the best of both worlds: the iconic “must-see” moments alongside the kind of authentic, local experiences that make a trip truly unforgettable.

​

Travel planning is not a side project—it’s her full-time career. Clients benefit from her destination expertise, honest approach, and unmatched responsiveness. She leads a small, trusted team that assists behind the scenes, but every trip begins and ends with Emily’s hands-on involvement.

​

While Emily does not book domestic U.S. travel (with the exception of Hawaii), her expertise shines in international destinations where her clients value guidance the most.

​

Whether it’s a honeymoon, milestone celebration, or annual family getaway, Emily believes luxury lies in the details: the right timing, the perfect room category, and those thoughtful touches that turn a trip into something unforgettable.
