DANIELLE HAYES
SAN FRANCISCO, CA
My love of travel was ignited during my childhood, thanks to unforgettable family vacations to Hawaii and Europe. With both of my parents working in the airline industry, I quickly became travel-savvy and developed a deep passion for exploring new places. Now, as a mother of three, I strive to take my own children to distant destinations as often as possible. My passion for eco-conscious travel drives me to fully immerse myself in the cultures I encounter. I revel in the thrill of exploring new cities, wandering unfamiliar streets, and uncovering hidden gems.
Before officially joining the travel industry, I was already playing the role of travel designer, expertly planning trips for large groups of friends, girls’ trips, and family vacations. My greatest joy comes from planning journeys to South America, Hawaii, Mexico, and Europe, especially for families. I specialize in finding sustainably-minded and eco-conscious travel destinations for my clients, ensuring that every trip is both enriching and responsible.
In a nutshell
Fun Facts about me:
Hotels I could call home // Sugar Beach in St. Lucia or The Hotel Alfonso XIII in Sevilla
Guilty pleasure snack // Truffle french fries, or any french fries
One country I’ll never say no to // I rarely say no, but Spain and Mexico are high on my list
At sunset you’ll find me drinking // a cold, crisp glass of Sancerre
A few things I pack in my carry-on // Since I only travel with a carry-on, the list is long, but my underseat essentials are:
-Reusable water bottle (I fill it up after airport security)
-Hydration packets
-La Roche Posay Cicaplast – the ultimate hand lotion
-Sleep mask
-A cozy travel wrap for keeping warm on a chilly plane
-Pressure bands for air sickness
-Patience and gratitude 😉
