About the Owner

Hi, I’m Nadia! I am a luxury travel advisor obsessed with going to increasingly remote locations and am aiming to visit 40 countries before age 40 and 50 countries before age 50.

Featured in LA Weekly as one of the “Top 15 Most Incredible Travel Experts for Adventure Lovers Worldwide," I last visited country 52. I love a mix of everything to really experience a destination – although who can say no to a unique luxury hotel? My ideal adventure has a mix of luxury and boutique, nature and city, and remote and well-established. I get the feel for a culture through food, whether that be food tours, cooking classes, gourmet restaurants, market visits, or street food. Once I fall in love with the idea of a country, I can't stop obsessing until I visit it! I always research my destinations (and yours) extensively to make sure I'm not missing out on anything unique. I am based in Orange County, CA and a fur-mom to a (sweet but psycho) rescue dog.

Besst Travels is a luxury travel agency that designs experiential-focused trips. While we plan trips for clients all over the globe, we specialize in bucket-list adventures and luxury adventure travel, such as safaris, Northern Lights viewings, remote nature lodges, ethical animal encounters, and similar. There’s no one that knows more about places in the middle of nowhere! Growing up with a mother who was a flight attendant and a father who was a pilot, I use my travel experience from visiting 52 countries to inform my clients journeys. I get joy through ensuring my clients never miss out on extraordinary, one-of-a-kind experiences backed with meticulous research and personal travel experience.

Happy Clients

  • “I highly recommend Besst Travels for all your travel planning and needs. Nadia of Besst Travels is simply the best! She is friendly, knowledgeable and will go beyond expectations for her clients. She helped me and my husband plan our trip last year to Singapore and Bali, and more recently on our Virgin Voyages cruise based out of Puerto Rico. We would have been overwhelmed by all the options these locations offered, but Nadia helped us decide and book memorable excursions such as our food tour in Singapore. Nadia has exclusive perks for her clients, and her insight for planning different activities and experiences is invaluable. We are excited to plan our next trip with Besst Travels!”

  • “Nadia helped me with my honeymoon and it was the absolute best experience, both in working with her and enjoying the fruits of her labor. She made everything so very simple and took all of the stress away, and as it was my husband and I's first international trip, acted as an incredible source of information and advice. I have raved about her to anyone that would listen, and I refuse to plan any trip without her ever again. My honeymoon is my happy place, and that is due largely in part to how absolutely special she made it.”
    - S.M., Traveled to Finland

  • “My husband and I have had the pleasure of working with Nadia for multiple trips, and we can confidently say that she is absolutely fantastic! Nadia took the time to understand our preferences and interests, and then crafted customized itineraries that exceeded our expectations every time. From custom welcome gifts in Paris to booking food tours in Barcelona, it was truly a blast. We've had some of the most memorable and enjoyable vacations of our lives with her help. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a travel agent who goes above and beyond. We can't wait to plan our next adventure with her!”

  • “I had Besst Travels help with with my 20 year anniversary trip to Dubai and the Maldives. Hands down best travel experience of my life and I have traveled a lot! The destinations themselves were amazing but what blew me away was the attention to detail, the ease of communication, the customer service, the knowledgeable recommendations of excursions, hotel options, destination tips, and more! I felt like a VIP traveler within my bit so VIP budget. I will definitely be using her again for any other trips I take and 100% recommend this to anyone who is planning a trip. It takes the stress out of traveling and allows you to enjoy your trip without worrying about anything.”

  • “Nadia was AMAZING. I’ve already told all my friends about her and said they must reach out to Nadia when they’re booking their trip to Colombia/Peru. From beginning to end, the entire experience was fantastic. I really appreciated Nadia’s input when it came to deciding on the experiences/hotels to stay at. Also, Nadia was always available via WhatsApp in case we needed to change plans last minute (happened a lot). I would give 10 stars if I could! Thank you so much Nadia!”
    - K.K., Traveled to Peru and Colombia

  • “Nadia has been amazing to work with! She has booked 5 hotels/resorts for us so far on various trips and we have been given hands down the best rooms at each location. Her process is simple and organized and you don’t have to think about a thing. Would highly recommend!”
    - C.A., Traveled to Italy and Costa Rica

  • “I’ve always had the most extraordinary trips using Besst Travels. Nadia takes the time to consider your personality and wants to find the perfect fit for you. The excursions she recommends and plans are perfectly curated to you! You always feel like royalty when Besst Travels plans your trip. Won’t ever book a trip again without her!”
    - K.B., Traveled to Sweden, Oman, and South Africa

  • “The honeymoon was amazing - we had such a special trip and you were a huge part of that so thank you so much! We have traveled a bunch and certainly know what we are doing planning trips but your guidance was above and beyond what we expected. We thought your timeline of where to go and how long to stay was perfect, each place we felt we had enough time to do what we wanted and didn’t overstay (of course we could easily go back!).”
