Heather Hodes
Founder & Luxury Travel Advisor
Heather’s approach to travel is driven by the moments that move us—whether it's the adrenaline of the bulls charging through Pamplona, the quiet awe of watching whales breach along the Sunshine Coast, or the profound pride of witnessing her children engage in meaningful service work in Grenada. She believes that the best journeys aren't just about where you go, but how the experience fills your spirit.
As a dedicated Travel Advisor, Heather specializes in crafting bespoke adventures that allow her clients to find their own "heart-thumping" moments. By blending seamless logistics with a deep understanding of what makes a trip truly transformative, she ensures every itinerary creates a lifetime of stories worth sharing.
When she isn't designing world-class experiences, Heather can be found enjoying life’s simpler joys: laughing with her husband and five children, walking her three golden retrievers, or relaxing on the dock with friends and a ranch water in hand.
