  • "I have worked with travel agents before. This was not that. Every detail of our trip had been considered in a way that felt almost personal, like someone had actually listened to what we said we wanted and then gone further than we thought to ask for. We came home stress-free, which has always been the goal, but has never been possible before."

  • "What sets Eraya apart is that you are dealing with someone who has actually been to these places, who cares genuinely about getting it right, and who treats your trip as if it were her own. The inquiry process felt like a conversation with a friend who happened to know everything about where you wanted to go. The trip itself exceeded everything we discussed. That is rare."

    Amanda F., Italy & Greece Journey

  • "I came to Eraya with nothing more than a feeling, that I needed to go somewhere that would actually mean something. No destination in mind, no dates, no idea what I was looking for. I was half expecting to be asked to come back when I had more information. Instead I was asked better questions than I had thought to ask myself. By the end of the first conversation I knew exactly where I was going and why. That clarity alone was worth it.

  • "I have stayed in a lot of hotels. I thought I had a good sense of what a beautiful property looked like. What I did not fully appreciate until this trip was the difference between a hotel that is beautiful and a hotel that is right (right for the place it is in, for the pace of the trip, for how I wanted to feel). Every property on this itinerary felt inevitable. Like there had never been another option. That curation is quietly extraordinary."

Hi there! I'm Courtnie Clemens.

For five years I've been creating a new kind of travel itinerary - one that blends luxury travel with authentic cultural experiences so genuine that every other trip feels like tourist theatre. Whether it's hammam mornings in Marrakech, temple rituals in Kyoto, or something completely off the beaten path, my goal is to give you access to powerful, profound cultural practices that leave you forever enriched.

I pair these experiences with unique boutique stays that give you the time and space to recharge, process, and return home a slightly different person than when you left. A little more still. A little more calm. A little more connected.

When you reach out, you hear from me. I read every inquiry personally, ask the questions that matter, and build your itinerary around who you actually are and what you're genuinely looking for.

If this is the year you finally take that trip, I would love to be the one who helps you plan it.
