ABOUT Operation Roam

powered by Fora Travel

What I bring to your trip

  • Expert curation: I hand-pick hotels and experiences that feel both elevated and rooted – in character, culture, or craft
  • Cultural immersion: Whether it’s a home-cooked meal or a neighborhood tour led by your host, I find the moments that make a place feel like home
  • Logistical ease: From seamless airport transfers to hidden dining gems, I take care of the details so you can stay present
  • Quiet luxury: Champagne isn’t enough – I look for meaning in small touches: your favorite morning treat waiting in your room, a book that reflects your curiosity, or a walk off the beaten path at dawn.

MEET marlene

Travel has played a dominant role in my life – shaping who I am and constantly challenging my view of the world. Learning the history, topography, culture, and rhythm of a new place or city gives me life – and fills my cup in ways I cannot explain. One of my greatest joys is helping to spark this excitement in other people. The hope for a new experience, the longing for a new place, the obsession with booking a new journey. With 44 countries under my belt and counting, I know I can help you find this magic too!
