EXPERIENCE

12 Years

Grace was born and raised in Baton Rouge, LA but has since lived in Lexington, VA, Charleston, SC, Jacksonville, FL, Sicily, and Tokyo. She, her husband, and daughter currently call Florida home.

Living abroad for eight years has given Grace the opportunity to truly immerse herself in new cultures, and has triggered a love of the new, the different, and the unexplored. Her passion for food and wine have led her to some of the best hidden gems in Europe's most exciting travel destinations. Grace's on the ground experience help her plan trips that take you beyond airfare and hotels and into the oldest neighborhoods, the up-and-coming chic parts of town, the classic restaurants, and the swanky new eateries. She believes in helping you really experience a new destination by seeing the culture through locals eyes, through traditional food, wine, markets, festivals, sites and sounds.

You can count on her to plan a trip that is at once adventurous and rejuvenating - stimulating for the new experiences but relaxing because every detail is covered.

Grace founded MavenLuxe after years of working in the travel industry and realizing that there was a market for something different - for both clients and other travel advisors. Grace hopes that MavenLuxe serves as the first-stop for clients seeking maven-level insight and comprehensive travel planning with top-notch customer service and responsiveness, but also as a home for other advisors to start and grow their own careers with professionalism and support.

  • “This was our first time traveling to Europe, and Grace made our first time absolutely seamless! The quality of communication, planning, and the travel app was outstanding. We especially loved the personal handwritten notes waiting for us at every hotel. Barbarossa in Greece was incredible, our Venice boat taxi and tour guide were fantastic, and all accommodations were five-star worthy. We can’t wait to share MavenLuxe with our family and friends.”

    – Morel Family | Greece & Italy

  • "Grace planned our most recent trip to Italy, and it was absolutely amazing! She was very mindful of creating the perfect mix of adventure, tours, and free time. Our experience would not have been nearly as good without her. We loved staying at Borgo San Felice in Tuscany – it was truly an incredible stay. Our other highlights were the Academia Gallery tour in Florence and the Forum tour in Rome. Everything ran so smoothly, and we can’t wait to share MavenLuxe with others!”
