Vera holds a degree in Art History and a Master’s degree in Museum Studies and worked as an art curator before entering luxury travel. That background continues to shape the way she sees a journey—not as a collection of reservations, but as a considered whole in which culture, architecture, history, gastronomy and a sense of place come together.

Her professional journey in luxury travel began in 2019, working with American travel advisors affiliated with the Virtuoso network. She gained extensive experience designing complex itineraries for discerning clients while building trusted relationships with luxury hotels and travel partners around the world.

She founded Duchess Concept to create a more personal kind of travel advisory—one built around thoughtful planning, genuine understanding and long-term client relationships. This perspective remains at the heart of the brand’s philosophy: Journeys, curated as art.
