Start Your Journey
I spent two decades in the corporate world watching people who excelled at everything exhaust themselves planning the one thing meant to restore them. I knew that feeling firsthand. Now I design travel for the busy, discerning, and unwilling to settle for ordinary.
THE PERSON BEHIND THE PLANNING.
TWENTY YEARS IN marketing. ALMOST 40 COUNTRIES. ONE VERY DELIBERATE CAREER CHANGE.
For over 20 years, I built a career in marketing—rising into executive roles and living the fast-paced, high-pressure lifestyle that so many of my clients know firsthand. Like many, I racked up loyalty points and defaulted to the predictability of big-brand hotels. But it only took a few standout stays, at a thoughtfully designed Firmdale hotel and experiencing the magic of a Belmond property to shift my perspective on travel. I began to see that a hotel wasn’t just a place to sleep; it was a lens into local culture, a chance to connect with a destination in a more meaningful way.
That spark led to deeper, more intentional travel: meals where the locals actually eat, private guides who share stories you won’t find in any guidebook, moments of discovery that stay with you long after you’ve returned. From summiting Mt. Kilimanjaro to diving the Great Barrier Reef to wandering the cobblestone streets of Florence, my passport now holds more than 35 stamps—and each one a reminder of why getting travel right actually matters.

What sets Sarah Eppler Travel apart is simple: I am my client
I’ve lived the long hours, the constant deadlines, the mental exhaustion—and I know exactly how precious (and rare) real time away can be. That’s why I bring a detail-obsessed, nothing-gets-missed approach to every trip I design. I get to know you, not just your destination.
This might look like booking you at the perfect Caribbean resort with a trusted babysitter waiting—so you can enjoy a peaceful oceanview dinner, uninterrupted or designing a multigenerational safari in Africa, blending exhilarating wildlife encounters with luxurious lodges—designed to delight both seasoned travelers and curious young explorers.
It’s not just about where you’re going—it’s about how you want to feel while you’re there. I treat your vacation like it’s our own, so every recommendation is thoughtful, intentional, and rooted in what matters most to you.
