Boutique Travel Planning
For The Luxury Traveler

About Me

Welcome! I’m Ronda.

I help travelers plan the kinds of trips they’ll treasure for a lifetime.

I started Travel by Ronda to offer something more intentional: curated experiences, vetted partners, and seamless support every step of the way. My role is to take the guesswork out of planning so you can focus on enjoying a trip that feels effortless and entirely your own.
