Born and raised in Budapest, Hungary, I started travelling before I could walk. My father was a former diplomat who visited almost every country, and my family often visited him. I graduated high school with a travel guide specialization, but ended up pursuing a different kind of adventure by emigrating from Hungary in 2001 and making it to San Diego, California my home. I love planning trips and helping people discover all of the little luxuries on this beautiful planet we call home. In the past years, I’ve planned a variety of specialized trips from culinary to climbing, and I’m positive that I can make your next trip unforgettable.

If you haven’t been to Hungary yet, you’re missing out on Europe’s best kept secrets. One of Hungary’s best features as a travel destination is its affordability.

Those with a hunger for vibrant culture and rich views will find themselves right at home at St. Stephen’s Square in downtown, while strolling across the iconic Chain Bridge and popping into a cozy, gorgeous café feels like stepping back in time in the best possible way. There’s something for everyone in Hungary, and I’d love to help you find it.

Joshua Tree Travel Agent Specialist

My favorite place in California, raw, rugged, and utterly unlike anywhere else on earth, Joshua Tree National Park is one of California's most captivating and iconic destinations! This is a place where two distinct desert ecosystems collide, the Mojave and the Colorado, otherworldly landscapes stretch endlessly in every direction, and the night sky puts on one of the most spectacular stargazing shows you will ever witness in your lifetime. As a Southern California native and travel specialist who visits Joshua Tree twice a year, I know this remarkable park inside and out, and I am deeply passionate about helping every visitor experience it to its absolute fullest.By day, Joshua Tree is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts of every kind. Rock climbers from around the world flock to its legendary granite formations, with over 8,000 documented climbing routes ranging from beginner friendly boulders and sport climbs to challenging technical faces and multi-pitch routes that will test even the most experienced and seasoned climbers. The iconic Jumbo Rocks and Wonderland of Rocks areas are particularly spectacular, offering a surreal and dramatic landscape that feels more like another planet than anything you would expect to find here on earth. Hikers can explore iconic trails like the Hidden Valley Nature Trail, the Skull Rock Loop, and the Ryan Mountain summit, where breathtaking panoramic views of the entire park and beyond await at the top. The surreal and hauntingly beautiful landscape of Cholla Cactus Garden, where thousands of teddy bear cholla cacti glow like gold in the late afternoon light, and the peaceful oasis of Cottonwood Springs offer quieter, equally unforgettable experiences for those looking to slow down, breathe deeply, and soak it all in.As the sun dips below the horizon and the vast desert sky begins to darken, Joshua Tree transforms into one of the premier stargazing destinations in the entire country. Designated as a Dark Sky Park, the remarkable absence of light pollution here reveals a breathtaking and humbling canopy of stars, planets, meteor showers, and constellations that will leave you completely and utterly speechless. There are few experiences in life quite as powerful as lying beneath the Joshua Tree night sky and feeling the full, magnificent scale of the universe above you, it is something every person should experience at least once.Beyond the park itself, the charming and quirky town of Joshua Tree and the neighboring community of Twentynine Palms offer wonderful dining options, unique desert boutiques, thriving local art galleries, and a vibrant and welcoming arts scene that perfectly complements the wild and untamed beauty of the park. The nearby Pioneertown, a fascinating living relic of old Hollywood Western film sets, offers a wonderfully unique and memorable side trip that surprises and delights every visitor who discovers it. After long days exploring the park, there is nothing quite like unwinding at one of the area's wonderful desert retreat accommodations, from cozy cabin rentals and charming bed and breakfasts to stunning luxury desert properties with private pools and unobstructed views of the star filled sky above. If you are thinking about planning a weekend climbing getaway, a romantic desert escape, a family adventure, a photography expedition, or simply a retreat into nature, I am here to help you craft the perfect Joshua Tree experience from start to finish. This place is truly my happy place, and I cannot wait to help you fall in love with it too.

Step onto the Athabasca Glacier at the Columbia Icefield for a humbling and once in a lifetime experience walking on ancient ice, and take in the vast frozen wilderness stretching out around you in every direction.The charming and welcoming town of Banff itself is an absolute delight, offering wonderful dining, boutique shopping, cozy mountain lodges, and a warm and vibrant atmosphere that perfectly complements the wild and untamed beauty of the surrounding park.

Norquay drawing snow lovers from everywhere.Beyond Banff, Canada's incredible diversity and vastness continues to impress and captivate at every turn.

CA Road trip

Reviewed By Fam5 - San Diego, CA | Traveled to Monterey | California | USA

We had been talking about a California road trip for years, so I contacted Szilvia to help plan it, because I don’t like to worry about the planning part. She arranged a rental car, found us a hotel in Monterey, and mapped out the perfect itinerary for our family drive up the California coast from San Diego. Everything was organized and ready to go, all we had to do was hit the road. The drive itself was half the adventure. Szilvia told us to take the Pacific Coast Highway, and it was such a beautiful drive, coastal cliffs, crashing waves, seaside towns, and views that had us pulling over every few miles. We stopped in Santa Barbara for lunch, explored the beautiful mission and the vibrant State Street, and arrived in Monterey feeling like the trip had already been worth every mile. We visited the Monterey Bay Aquarium which was the kids’ favorite. I believe it’s one of the biggest aquariums in the world and must visit for any family traveling to the area. We hiked the trails of Point Lobos State Natural Reserve, did the 17 Mile Drive through Pebble Beach, with amazing ocean views, and saw the famous Lone Cypress. This was one of our favorite family trips, thank you Szilvia.

Our bucket list trip

Reviewed By Gobergen - Carlsbad, CA | Traveled to Bergen | Norway | Europe

My husband and I was thinking about going to Norway this summer. Had been on our bucket list for years. Szilvia planned it for us, our flights, a hotel in Bergen's Bryggen wharf district, and gave us great tips that made the whole trip unforgettable. Bergen is something special. We rode the famous Floibanen funicular up to Mount Floyen where the panoramic views of the city and surrounding fjords were so beautiful, I can’t even describe it. The highlight of the trip was a fjord cruise through the UNESCO listed Naeroyfjord, beautiful scenery!! We also tackled the Trolltunga hike, one of the most dramatic and rewarding experiences we ever had, challenging but absolutely worth every step. Back in Bergen we explored the colorful historic Bryggen wharf, the famous Fish Market, and ate fresh seafood and Norwegian fish soup at the waterfront restaurants. Norway has stolen our heart and will absolutely be going back, for sure calling Szilvia to help plan it again.

Cabo girls trip

Reviewed By GirlsTrip26 - San Diego, CA | Traveled to Cabo San Lucas | Baja California Sur | Mexico

Our group of girlfriends wanted to go to Cabo San Lucas, so we called Szilvia and she put together a five day girls trip for us. She booked our flights from San Diego, and a great resort right on the beach, and took care of every detail. Cabo was absolutely everything we needed, sunshine, crystal blue water, incredible food, and amazing atmosphere for a girls trip. We spent our days lounging by the pool and on the beach, took a boat tour to the famous El Arco rock arch, went snorkeling in the Sea of Cortez, and enjoyed Mexican food and margaritas at a restaurant Szilvia had recommended. The sunsets in Cabo are beautiful, every evening we watched the sky turn shades of gold and pink over the Pacific. The nights were awesome, with vibrant bars and restaurants along the marina keeping our group entertained and dancing until late. Five days felt way too short and we are already planning our return trip. Thank you Szilvia for putting together such a great girls getaway!

Oktoberfest in Berlin

Reviewed By Ofest2025 - San Diego, CA | Traveled to Berlin | Germany | Europe

We always dreamed of experiencing a real German Oktoberfest so I reached out to Szilvia to help with the trip. She arranged our flights, found us a great hotel in Berlin, and gave us plenty of tips that made our experience so much better than anything I could have planned on my own. The Oktoberfest celebrations were awesome, cold perfectly poured German beer, delicious pretzels and bratwursts, live music, and an atmosphere of pure joy and celebration. Beyond the festival, Szilvia encouraged us to explore Berlin itself and I am so glad she did. We visited the Brandenburg Gate, walked along the Berlin Wall and the East Side Gallery, and soaked in the incredible energy of one of Europe's most fascinating and vibrant cities. It was an unforgettable trip and Szilvia made every detail completely effortless. Thank you!

Bachelorette trip

Reviewed By Girlstrip5 - Budapest, Hungary | Traveled to Las Vegas | Nevada | USA

Oh my god, where do I even start! We came from Europe for my best friend's bachelorette trip to Las Vegas and we had absolutely no idea how to plan something like this in America. My friend told me to contact Szilvia. She arranged all our flights, got us a hotel right on the Strip, and took care of everything so we could just focus on having fun. And wow, what a time it was! Las Vegas is absolutely crazy in a good way, we could not believe our eyes when we arrived. Szilvia recommended us the best rooftop pools, beautiful restaurants for our group dinner, and got us into exclusive nightclubs on the Strip. We danced all night, we gambled a little, we laughed so much, and our bride was just so happy the whole trip. Everything was organized and we never had to worry about anything. For us coming from Europe it was so helpful to have someone who knows Las Vegas and understands exactly what you need. Szilvia thought of every little detail and made everything so easy for us. Our bride had the most amazing last trip as a single woman and we will never forget this experience. Thank you so much Szilvia, you are the best and we will for sure contact you again for our next trip to America!

Short trip to Austin

Reviewed By Gotx24 - Carlsbad, CA | Traveled to Austin | Texas | USA

We visited Austin for the first time last October and reached out to Szilvia to help plan the trip. We had two things on our agenda, the annual Halloween street festival and checking out the new Mesa Rim climbing gym, and she took care of everything, from flights to a great hotel right in the middle of the action. The Halloween street festival was a blast. The energy on Sixth Street was amazing, incredible costumes, live music pouring out of every venue, and a crowd that knew how to have a seriously good time. It was one of those nights that reminds you why Austin has such a legendary reputation for fun and culture. The next day we headed over to the new Mesa Rim climbing gym and it did not disappoint. The facility was stunning, beautifully designed with an impressive variety of bouldering walls and rope routes for every skill level. The atmosphere was welcoming and the community was fantastic. As a climber it was honestly one of the highlights of my entire trip. Szilvia put this whole trip together seamlessly and her recommendations were spot on. Short trip, two perfect experiences, exactly what we were looking for. I will definitely be calling her again for my next adventure.

Climbing in Vietnam

Reviewed By MarkH38 - San Marcos, CA | Traveled to Vietnam | East and Southeast Asia

As an avid rock climber, I always wanted to go climbing in Vietnam. I finally decided to make the trip happen, so I reached out to Szilvia to help put it together. I wasn't sure how familiar she would be with a climbing focused trip to Southeast Asia, but I found out she used to climb too, and she absolutely blew me away with her thoroughness, and resourcefulness for making my adventure perfect. She arranged my international flights, a hotel in Hanoi to kick off the trip, and coordinated all the logistics to get me to Cat Ba Island and the legendary climbing areas of Ha Long Bay, one of the most iconic climbing destinations. The climbing itself was absolutely world class. Szilvia connected me with a highly regarded local climbing guide who knew every route on the island inside and out, from beginner friendly routes on the lower crags to challenging multipitch climbs. Deep water soloing, climbing the cliffs and jumping directly into the crystal clear water below, was an adrenaline rush unlike anything I have ever experienced. Beyond the climbing, Szilvia made sure I had time to explore Vietnam. I explored the streets of Hanoi's Old Quarter, ate street food including fresh pho, banh mi, and crispy spring rolls, and spent an evening on a sunset cruise through Ha Long Bay. This trip was the adventure of a lifetime and I’m already planning my next climbing destination and Szilvia will be the first person I call.

Honeymoon

Reviewed By NancyM - Oceanside, CA | Traveled to Paris | France | Europe

When my husband and I started planning our honeymoon, we wanted something special. I always wanted to go to Paris, and when we reached out to Szilvia, she made that trip possible. She arranged everything, our flights, hotel just minutes from the Eiffel Tower, and personal recommendations that made our trip incredible. Szilvia had recommended a beautiful candlelit restaurant in the Le Marais district where we enjoyed the most exquisite French cuisine we have ever tasted. We strolled along the Seine, explored the famous Louvre, and spent the afternoon wandering through the streets of Montmartre, ending up at the Sacré-Coeur Basilica with panoramic views over the entire city. We also took a romantic sunset Seine river cruise that Szilvia had arranged as a surprise addition to our itinerary, which was one of the most magical experiences of our entire honeymoon. Every detail reflected Szilvia's genuine care and dedication to making our trip absolutely perfect. If you are looking for someone who truly goes above and beyond for her clients, look no further.

Tahoe Mountain Bike trip

Reviewed By JoeyG - Oceanside, CA | Traveled to Lake Tahoe | Nevada | USA

So I've been wanting to shred some trails in Lake Tahoe for years, and this year I finally pulled the trigger. A buddy told me to hit up Szilvia to help plan it out, and honestly best decision I ever made. She sorted out my flights into Reno, hooked me up with a sick lodge in South Lake Tahoe, and even lined up a bike rental with a solid local shop. All I had to do was show up and ride. And man, the riding did not disappoint. The Flume Trail was everything I dreamed, sick singletrack with insane views of the lake that honestly made me stop and just stare a few times. I also hit up Northstar Bike Park which was an absolute blast, great flow trails, gnarly descents, and the lift access meant more laps and less hiking. After riding all day, it was great to come back to a super comfortable spot close to good food and the lake. Evening walks by the water with a cold beer after a long day on the trails, doesn't get much better than that. Szilvia totally nailed it. She knew exactly what I was looking for and delivered without any hassle. Already thinking about next summer and she's definitely getting that call again.

First time in Hungary

Reviewed By Citylights - San Diego, CA | Traveled to Budapest | Hungary | Europe

My husband and I always wanted to visit Budapest, and when we decided to finally make it happen, a friend recommended Szilvia. She knows the city inside out, and she regularly visits Hungary. From our very first conversation, we knew we were in great hands. She arranged our flights, a hotel in downtown Budapest along the banks of the Danube, and provided us with knowledge that elevated our experience. She recommended trying out the public transportation, which is excellent in Budapest, even late at night! We visited the Gellert Thermal Baths, which is not as known as the Szechenyi Baths, but the experience was amazing, as you can see the Danube from the top of the building sitting in one of the thermal pools, incredible! We also walked across the Chain Bridge at sunset, with the Hungarian Parliament Building glowing golden on the riverbank, it was one of the most romantic sights either of us had ever seen. We explored the historic Buda Castle and Fisherman's Bastion, where the panoramic views over the city and the Danube simply took our breath away. Szilvia also recommended we visit the famous Ruin Bars of the Jewish Quarter, which turned out to be one of the most unique nightlife experiences of our lives. We visited the beautiful St. Stephen's Basilica, ate traditional Hungarian cuisine including goulash, chimney cakes, and langos at local restaurants Szilvia personally recommended, and ended each evening with a glass of Tokaji wine watching the city lights reflect off the Danube. Every moment of our Budapest trip felt magical, and that is entirely thanks to Szilvia's expertise, passion, and personal touch.
