Pull up a chair, pour a glass of wine, and start dreaming.

Her Dream Vacation isn’t just a travel company. It’s a boutique experience designed exclusively for women who are ready to stop waiting and start going.

We’re small group.
We’re flexible.
We’re delightfully serendipitous.

This is travel for women who crave authenticity, connection, culture, and just a little magic along the way.

Each journey is thoughtfully personalized to the women traveling together. Because no two groups are alike—and that’s exactly how it should be.

Founded by a woman who understands your travel dreams (and your travel standards), Her Dream Vacation was created to immerse you locally, connect you with like-minded women, and give you the freedom for a spontaneous adventure or two. Yes, we plan beautifully. But we also leave room for the unexpected.

You’ll experience off-the-beaten-path moments, meaningful cultural connections, exceptional accommodations, knowledgeable local guides, and just the right rhythm to maximize your time. We handle the details. You live the dream.

​

Before we travel together, I want to know you—your interests, your curiosities, your “I’ve always wanted to…” moments.

Every itinerary is curated with intention and sprinkled with surprises. There’s space for shared experiences and space for YOU.

Want to book a massage?
Take an optional tour?
Shop a hidden artisan market?
Slip away with a book and a cappuccino?

We make it happen.

This is your dream vacation. I’m just here to elevate it. I am particular about the needs of a traveler. I get you.

​

“Where Does Your Name Come From?” I get asked this all the time.

My name is Stamie—short for Stamatia. Greek, of course. In true Greek tradition, I was named after my grandmother (and yes, I have four cousins with the same name!).

The meaning?

 

“Intelligent, active, preoccupied and always planning; not enough spare time and always looking for an adventure.”

In other words… accurate.

As the daughter of a Greek mother and a United States Air Force career dad, wanderlust was practically in my DNA. I’ve lived in 11 states and 4 countries, graduated from the College of Charleston in beautiful Charleston, South Carolina, and built a life around hospitality, travel, and refined experiences.

My career began as a travel agent and evolved through fine hotels, resorts, restaurants, country clubs, commercial real estate, and 15 years in media sales and advertising. Every chapter sharpened my eye for quality and deepened my passion for extraordinary experiences.

Her Dream Vacation is the culmination of it all—a company created to empower women to travel solo within a group for safety, comfort, and authentic connection.

​

I was also a single mother raising a daughter who inherited my wanderlust. Our mantra has always been:
“You never know, unless you go.”

Mother–daughter trips? Magical.
Sister getaways? Essential.
Girlfriend adventures? Long overdue.

Grab your mom, daughter, granddaughter, sister, or best friend—and come with us.

I also understand how easy it is to find excuses not to travel. Life gets busy. Responsibilities pile up. But sometimes, it’s one cobblestone at a time toward something that feeds your soul.

My mission?
To help you break free from the excuses and say yes to yourself.

Take care of YOU.

​

My interests? Historic preservation, the arts, community involvement, gardening, beach walks, hiking, travel writing, and time with my daughter and dear friends.

My passport? Well loved.

 

I’ve explored 39 U.S. states, most of Europe, the Caribbean, Bahamas, Cuba, China, Thailand, Macau, Mexico, Canada, Iceland, Bermuda, India, Jordan, South Africa, Vietnam, and Morocco—with South America and more of Asia on the horizon.

I currently split my time between Greece and Charleston, SC. When I’m not planning your next adventure, I operate a local tour business in Athens called Athenian Adventures: Athens and Beyond.

And yes—my travel assistant is a West Highland Terrier named Elvis. He has his own Facebook page and blog, “Elvis Adventures.” Don’t be surprised if he makes a cameo.

​

I’m always seeking:

• The perfect picnic spot
• The hidden alleyway
• The local pub with incredible music
• The unexpected flea market treasure

​

My style is immersive, engaging, cultured—and just a little bit spontaneous.

This isn’t transactional travel. This is relational travel.

We’re in this together—from the first conversation to the final farewell dinner and beyond. My greatest joy is watching women arrive as strangers and leave as friends, already asking, “Where are we going next?”
