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.
