Windward Path - Luxury Travel Advisor Seattle

LUXURY TRAVEL ADVISOR

The perfect hotel room. The private tour. The hidden gallery. Travel designed by someone who's actually been there.

You deserve more than a beautiful hotel room.

You deserve the right room. The one with the view of the garden, not the street. The private dinner with a celebrated chef. The guide who makes history come to life. The driver who knows which route avoids crowds.

With relationships at the world's finest hotels and deep knowledge of each destination, I ensure every detail exceeds expectations. Whether you're seeking art-filled afternoons in Amsterdam or perfect beach days in Turks & Caicos, you'll experience it as insiders do.

The result? Effortless travel that leaves you completely relaxed, genuinely enriched, and perfectly taken care of - delivering exactly what you envisioned, and often more.

I'm Carolyn, your travel advisor and advocate.

I create journeys for discerning Seattle travelers who expect excellence in every detail.

Having lived in nine countries and traveled to dozens more, I bring genuine relationships and insider perspective that you simply can't google. This means securing not just any room at the Four Seasons, but the corner suite with the view. Not just a wine tasting, but dinner with the family who has owned the vineyard for generations.

My clients appreciate this distinction. They want both luxury and authenticity, without compromising either. The Rosewood's perfect service, with the ceramics workshop I know about in the village. The Michelin-starred dinner, and the family-run trattoria. My clients trust me to know which moments call for each.

"More than any professional we've worked with, we knew we could trust her completely. That was the greatest gift." — Recent Client
