Hi, I'm Sophia — the travel advisor behind Essential Romance Travel.
And I'm so glad you're here!

Since 2019, I’ve had the absolute joy of helping couples across the U.S. plan unforgettable getaways — from dreamy honeymoons and romantic escapes to once-in-a-lifetime bucket list adventures. Whether you're celebrating a milestone, planning a surprise getaway, or just need a break from the everyday, I specialize in creating custom experiences that feel effortless, meaningful, and just right for you.

Travel has always been a passion of mine, and turning that passion into a career has been a dream come true. You'll often find my four-legged assistant, Linq, snoozing under my desk while I dive into researching the best resorts, activities, and hidden gems for my clients. He's the real MVP of itinerary-building.

When I’m not planning travel for others, I’m out exploring new destinations with my husband, scouting out the best romantic spots and resort experiences so I can give firsthand insight to my clients. I also love catching a good game, seeing live music, and taking long walks with Linq (bonus points if it ends with good coffee or tacos!).

At Essential Romance Travel, it's not just about booking a trip — it's about curating a story you’ll always remember. Let’s start writing yours.
