Inspired by the sea, thoughtfully designing journeys along the world’s most beautiful shores.

Growing up on the West Coast, the ocean was always a constant in my life. Some of my earliest memories are of exploring the shorelines of Washington, Oregon, and California— and spending time in the San Juan Islands, where I first fell in love with the quiet magic of wide open water and the sense of calm and escapism it brings. The feeling I got when I visited these places stayed with me, shaping my love for coastal destinations.

Over time, that pull led me beyond the Pacific coast: to the sun-drenched Gulf Coast, the lush Hawaiian Islands, and Mexico’s turquoise Caribbean shores. Each destination offered something different, yet the same sense of inner calm, awe, and inspiration was always with me.

I realized I didn’t just love to travel—I loved designing travel. Researching, planning, and curating every detail quickly became my passion, and I saw how much more meaningful a journey could feel when it was tailored to my interests and local culture- and now I'm passionate about sharing that process with my travelers.

That’s what led me to become a travel advisor and launch Marisola Travel: to offer intentional, elevated experiences that feel truly and uniquely yours. Today, I specialize in elevated, adult-focused, coastal and island escapes in the places I've experienced and loved— because these destinations have always felt like home, and I want every client to feel that same sense of magic, joy, and discovery.
