Meet Alyssa
I'm Alyssa Costenbader, professional travel designer and founder of AC Curated Travel.
Travel has always been about more than destinations for me. It's about celebrating milestones, reconnecting with loved ones, experiencing new cultures, and creating memories that last long after the trip ends.
As a military spouse and mother of two, I understand how valuable time together truly is. That's why I'm passionate about creating seamless, meaningful travel experiences that allow my clients to be fully present from the moment they leave home.
After years of helping travelers explore the world, I launched AC Curated Travel to offer a more personalized, boutique approach to travel planning—one centered on relationships, attention to detail, and exceptional service.
Whether you're dreaming of a romantic escape to Greece, a luxury Hawaiian getaway, an unforgettable family vacation, or a destination wedding abroad, I'm here to bring your vision to life.
Thoughtfully planned. Personally curated. Designed just for you.
