I'm Daria, the founder of IRIS, a private travel concierge built around a simple idea: the best vacations happen when someone else is doing the work.

My background is in extensive travel across the globe, paired with a lifelong love of research, planning, and figuring things out on the fly. I've built a career on the details other people miss, the ability to find even the most of-the-beaten path places and adventures, and the instinct to know what a trip actually needs, even when a client isn't quite sure how to put it into words

I don't work with a team, and I don't outsource the parts that matter. When you travel with IRIS, I'm the one researching your destination, coordinating with local guides and hosts, and standing beside you if anything needs solving in real time. It's a hands on, one to one relationship, built for people who want their vacation handled by someone who is genuinely invested in getting it right.

I named the company after Iris, the Greek messenger goddess who traveled the bridge between heaven and earth. That's the role I play for every client: the bridge between the trip you're imagining and the one you actually get to live.
