Curated travel planning for unforgettable trips around the world.
Hi, I’m Alexis, the creator of Elevated Carry-On.
I help travelers plan thoughtful, memorable trips centered around the experiences they love — from tennis tournaments and ski weekends to luxury resorts and African safaris.
Because I travel frequently with just a carry-on, I focus on trips that are well planned, streamlined, and designed to maximize the experience without unnecessary stress.
Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway or a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, I can help bring the details together.
Trips I Love Planning:
🎾 Tennis Tournament Travel
Attend the world’s most exciting tournaments with a seamless travel plan.
Trips like:
- BNP Paribas Open
- US Open
- Miami Open
- Wimbledon Championships
I help with:
• hotel selection
• match session strategy
• transportation logistics
• dining and activity recommendations
🦓 African Safaris
One of the most extraordinary trips you can take is an African safari.
I love helping travelers plan safaris in destinations such as:
- Namibia
- Kenya
- Tanzania
These trips can include:
• luxury safari lodges
• private guides and game drives
• incredible wildlife viewing
• breathtaking landscapes like the Namib Desert or Serengeti plains
Safaris are truly once-in-a-lifetime experiences, and thoughtful planning makes all the difference.
🐢 Galápagos Islands Expeditions
A trip to the Galápagos Islands is one of the most extraordinary wildlife experiences in the world.
Located off the coast of Ecuador, the islands are home to incredible species found nowhere else on Earth — including giant tortoises, marine iguanas, blue-footed boobies, and sea lions.
Most travelers explore the Galápagos by small expedition yacht, which allows access to multiple islands, guided wildlife excursions, snorkeling, and unforgettable landscapes.
I love helping travelers plan Galápagos trips that include:
• small luxury expedition yachts
• carefully planned island itineraries
• wildlife excursions with expert naturalist guides
• seamless travel logistics through mainland Ecuador
It’s truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure for nature lovers and families alike.
⛷️ Ski Trips
Perfectly planned winter getaways to destinations like:
- Deer Valley
- Park City
- Jackson Hole
- European ski resorts
🌴 Luxury Resorts & Beach Escapes
Whether you’re looking for a relaxing beach vacation or a celebratory trip, I can help you find the right resort and handle the details.
🇪🇺 European Adventures
From iconic cities to coastal escapes, Europe offers endless travel inspiration.
I help plan trips including:
• boutique hotels
• curated itineraries
• restaurant recommendations
• transportation planning
Hotel Benefits & Travel Perks
One of the biggest advantages of working with a travel advisor is access to preferred hotel programs.
When I book hotels for clients, they often receive additional perks such as:
• complimentary breakfast
• room upgrades when available
• resort or property credits
• early check-in or late checkout
• exclusive deals or promotions
These benefits are often not available when booking on your own.
To provide these amenities and access to preferred hotels around the world, I work through a global travel network: Fora Travel.
Why Work With Me
Travel planning should feel exciting, not overwhelming.
Working together means:
✔ personalized recommendations
✔ thoughtfully planned itineraries
✔ trusted hotel and travel partners
✔ insider knowledge and destination expertise
My goal is to help you create a trip that feels seamless, memorable, and uniquely suited to you.
