My Story

With over two decades of experience in luxury hospitality and travel, I curate bespoke journeys for discerning global travelers. As a Le Cordon Bleu graduate and former concierge at The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel, I built my foundation on impeccable service, attention to detail, and a deep appreciation for refined hospitality. My roles in Leisure Sales and Revenue Management combined behind-the-scenes strategy with guest-facing expertise, shaping my signature style: deeply personal service, delivered with effortless precision.

Since 2010, I’ve specialized in crafting custom experiences that balance intention with indulgence, creating itineraries that reflect my clients’ values, rhythms, and passions. From a private ryokan retreat in the Japanese Alps to a Bordeaux wine barge charter and round-the-world private jet journeys, my work is rooted in immersive detail and the understanding that comes from genuine personal connection. I serve as a trusted partner throughout my clients’ travel lives, offering seamless support for everything from holiday flights and mini-breaks to once-in-a-lifetime journeys.

I’ve booked with Avant-Garde multiple times for family vacations and have always received fast, kind, and responsive attention each and every time.

On one trip, my flights were cancelled at 2am on the morning of departure. Not only did agent Elizabeth text immediately in the middle of the night, but she had us on the last available seats on the next available flight. We were delayed, but we didn’t miss a single day of the trip thanks to her incredible professionalism.

All of my travel is only booked through them, I wouldn’t dream of traveling without having them in my corner when I’m out adventuring the world.

Elizabeth McEachron is a 10 Star travel agent. She took detailed notes and found exceptional deals for a 10 day cruise in Greece, followed by an 8 day land tour of Italy. Highly customized and reasonable price. What a timesaver and well worth it to have such an organized, energetic , fun travel agent who thrives on giving you the best experience! She even hit our budget mark and we have some fantastic land tours planned. Thank you 🙏 and I will count the stars while on deck.

Elizabeth was AMAZING! This trip was everything we could have hoped for and more. We know with her, all the little details are taken care of and we were able to actually relax. Had the best time in South Caicos, a must for your bucket list!

We have worked with Elizabeth McEachron from Avant-Guard Travel on numerous trips over the last few years. Her services have consistently exceeded our expectations.
Last year we embarked on our first international cruise, and Elizabeth handled all the communications with the cruise, managing travel arrangements for multiple parties from different locations in order to minimize wait time, as well as some incredible excursions both pre-post cruise. She provide an in-depth itinerary prior to our departure, making sure we had access to all important contact information. In addition, she was available throughout the cruise in case any issues arose ( though there were none due to her outstanding organization prior to the event).
More recently, we visited Hawaii for the first time and Elizabeth tailored the two week event to maximize the experience for our particular interests, working within our budget concerns. She recommended multiple excursions, many of which we did. All were fabulous! She handled all the travels car rentals and excursions perfectly as well as handling any issues we had promptly. We are using her expertise on all our upcoming travels. We highly recommend her services.

My husband and I used Elizabeth McEachron at Avant-Garde Travel for our trip to Maui, celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. She was very professional and empathetic to my needs as a wheelchair user, from booking the rights seats on the plane to making sure the room and bathroom were accessible to my needs, every detail was covered.
The resort was also accessible and breathtakingly beautiful. I’d recommend using her to anyone with or without special needs.

Elizabeth/Avant Garde did a marvelous job in trip pre-planning and co-ordination. Choosing the appropriate tours and outings. The hotels were great and at centralized locations. Monitored our progress throughout the vacation-confirming tours, etc. Last, but not least, post-trip discussions regarding what worked best for future vacation. Avant Garde/Elizabeth planned our Greek Cruise this fall and a future European River Cruise next summer. I recommend them 100%.
