Hi! I’m Danielle

I was bitten by the travel bug…bitten bad.

So bad that one-size-fits-all tours no longer made sense for me. I wanted to travel at my own pace, in my own way. Seeing my photos, and hearing about my adventures, people started asking what company I traveled with only to learn that I planned it all myself. I started Itineraries by Design to help others realize their own travel dreams.

With a background in the arts and administration I have a unique eye for beauty and detail that comes in handy when designing personalized trips that are both seamless and unforgettable. Whether you’re dreaming of a romantic European getaway, an adventurous trek through remote landscapes, or a laid-back beach retreat, I’ll guide you every step of the way.

I’m all about the details, so you don’t have to worry about a thing. I’m here to make sure your travel experience is stress-free and tailored to you.

    and counting

    I’ve been lucky enough to have visited 35 countries around the world. All that travel means I may have firsthand experience in the countries you’re interested in visiting!

    memorable days

    Ecuador has been my favorite trip to date. I sailed through the Galapagos Islands, mountain biked Cotopaxi, visited an Achuar tribe in the Amazon basin, and relaxed in the Andes fed natural spring waters of Banos.

    must haves

    Regardless of the activity or destination I have to travel with a sketchbook, a camera, a fun fast read, a gift idea to search for for my nieces, and a bucket of sunscreen because your girl is pasty.
