Travel Designed Around How You Want to Feel
I started Travel by Ellie because I love turning trip ideas into something real, exciting and completely personal. I design every trip around how you want to feel.
About Us
Meet Ellie Dierberg
Founder & LUXURY Travel Advisor
I’m Ellie, a travel advisor with what I like to call a “Master’s in Travel Planning,” earned through Brownell's mentorship program.
After completing the program in 2024, with an incredible global network of hotels, people and experiences, I began planning trips for friends and family, and quickly realized how much I love the process.
I’ve planned trips for groups ranging from 8 to 15 people across destinations like Mexico, Hawaii, Argentina and Europe, including a 12-person journey through four countries with a cruise. I design all kinds of travel – from relaxing getaways to honeymoons, group trips and multi-stop itineraries.
I start every trip by understanding how you desire to feel.
Every trip is designed around how you want to feel, with a level of detail that makes the entire experience seamless.
That might mean a fully mapped-out itinerary, a multi-country trip with moving parts, a multi-generational vacation that runs effortlessly, or something more relaxed like a villa stay or time on the water. From flights and hotels to transfers and logistics, I take care of every detail so everything flows smoothly from the moment you leave to the moment you return.
WORLD-CLASS partnerships
Some of the best parts of a trip aren't things you can search for. They're the room that wasn't listed, the reservation that was technically full, the upgrade that just appeared. That's not luck. It's relationships.
Being part of the Brownell and Virtuoso network means the world's finest hotels and operators know our name before we call. It means our clients receive amenities, access, and attention that simply aren't available elsewhere.
And beyond the perks, when something unexpected happens – because travel is beautifully unpredictable – you'll always have someone who knows exactly what to do and who to call.
These partnerships exist for one reason: to make your experience extraordinary from the moment you book to the moment you're home.

Hawaii
With a big group of 12 family friends, we traveled to Maui and the Big Island, exploring, snorkeling, taking boat rides, and dolphin spotting. An incredible experience. Would highly recommend.
Naples, FL
I grew up visiting Naples, and it’s still my favorite long-weekend escape. We recently stayed at the new Four Seasons Naples Beach Club. The sunsets, design, food, and little touches throughout the hotel are incredible.
Tuscany
Truffle hunting, Brunello tastings, slow afternoons in tiny villages, Tuscany delivers on every cliché in the best way. I spent a week there with one of our Italian partners and fellow Brownell advisors.
