The person who has already been.
I'm Coco Tran, a luxury travel advisor and film photographer in Sacramento. When I recommend a lodge or a suite, it's because I've stayed there, walked the rooms and know which one is right for you.
Your trip deserves more than a brochure.
Anyone can book a beautiful hotel. What changes a trip is knowing which room catches the morning light, which lodge suits a first safari, and which partner on the ground answers at midnight. That knowledge only comes from being there, and it's what you get when we plan together.
I plan for a small group of clients at a time, so you work with me from the first idea to the day you fly home. No call centers, no hand-offs.
Lodges I've stayed in.
Every one inspected and photographed in person, so your recommendation comes from experience, not a catalog.

I photograph every place I recommend.
As a film photographer and the publisher of cocotran.com, I document hotels and lodges on location. That habit of looking closely is what I bring to your trip: the details most people never notice, chosen for you.
