On her frequent trips to the region, she researches private villas and overwater suites that make for bucket-list getaways. For one couple’s 10-day honeymoon, Hamer prepared an itinerary that included a private sightseeing flight above Tupai, in Bora-Bora; a 4 x 4 ride into the mountains of Tahiti to view a volcanic crater; and a six-night stay at the Brando, on Tetiaroa. Which resort is always at the top of Hamer's list? The Brando, in French Polynesia, for total seclusion and luxury.

I wanted to have a private trip that would allow me to experience the unique areas that make up the islands there. Since that time, I have worked with Susanne on many different trips, both private and those that may extend a trip that was already pre-planned with one of the larger known travel companies. Her connections with independent vendors and her knowledge of many different areas around the world, make her a fabulous 'partner' with whom to plan my family's many world adventures. Susanne has the wonderful ability to make any trip luxurious or budget conscious depending on the need. She has handled all issues that have arisen as we have continued to travel during the Covid-19 era. She has handled them with grace and humor and a sense of assuredness that allows my family to travel with confidence. She is very well travelled and extremely organized. I look forward to my continued relationship with Susanne in planning all my future travel experiences." - Susan R. Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback! Tell us why! Other Submit
