CARTA

Who are you when you travel?

Every trip I build starts with that question. I'm a travel advisor, and every client gets a trip hub: their restaurants, their hotels, their contacts, my personal notes. On their phone. And they get me, directly.

Why I Started Carta

I got tired of seeing people pay for luxury travel and get a PDF in their inbox.

A list of suggestions. No one to call when something goes sideways. No one who actually knows your name, your preferences, what time you like to eat dinner.

The Ritz costs $2,200 a night. Le Grand Mazarin costs $650. I've put clients in both and watched them have completely different, completely perfect trips, because the right hotel has nothing to do with the price tag. Figuring out which one is right for you, that's the part I love. That's the job.

Before and After

The difference is not prettier paperwork.

The trip hub is proof of the work. It takes the loose pieces of a trip and turns them into something you can actually use while you are moving.

What most travelers get

A PDF buried in email01
Confirmations scattered across inboxes02
Restaurant links you have to sort yourself03
No clear answer when the plan changes04

Useful before you leave. Harder when you are standing outside a hotel, looking for the next thing.

What Carta gives you

For most hotel-led trips, my planning is paid through the hotels and partners I book, not as an added planning fee from you.

You pay for the trip itself. I handle the fit, the bookings, the trip hub, and the support around it. If a trip needs a different arrangement, I will say that plainly before we start.

How the pricing works

The trip hub is the part you see. The judgment is the part you feel.

I am not trying to replace care with software. I use the trip hub to make the care easier to reach when you are actually traveling.

Affiliation

WorldVia Travel Group

That gives me the hotel relationships, support network, and preferred partner access behind the scenes.

Benefits

Preferred hotel booking

Depending on the property, that can mean breakfast, credits, upgrades, early check-in, or a better room conversation.

Support

You text Gabe

If a reservation moves or a flight lands late, you are not digging through a PDF. You are texting the person who built the trip.

What to notice when you open the sample.

I am not showing the trip hub because the interface is the secret. I am showing it because the care becomes obvious when the details are organized around the traveler.

01

Today view

The first screen answers the question you actually have in the moment: what is next, where do I go, and when should I leave?

02

Mapped context

Restaurants, hotels, museums, transfers, and open time sit on the same map, so the day makes sense geographically.

03

Personal notes

This is where the judgment shows up. What to order. What to skip. Why this hotel fits you and not someone else.

04

Essentials

Contacts, documents, confirmations, and backup details live where you need them. No login. No download. Just the link.

How It Works

Three steps. That's the whole thing.

01

You tell me who you are

A 30-minute call. Cuisine preferences, travel pace, past trips you loved, the ones that missed. The more I know, the better your trip.

02

I build your trip

I do the research, the bookings, the reservations. Hotels through preferred partnerships, restaurants with confirmed tables. You review and approve, and I take care of the rest.

03

Your trip hub arrives

Two weeks before departure, you get a trip hub. A private, phone-friendly guide built for your specific trip. Every reservation, every contact, my personal notes on each day. No login. No download. You open a link. It works.

Destinations

Some places I keep sending people back to.

Not a catalog. Just the places where I know the right rooms, the right tables, and the right time of day to arrive.

A quiet Paris side street at blue hour, bistro windows glowing gold against the dusk
Parisdinner is at eight. ask for claire.
A narrow Tokyo alley at dusk, paper lanterns glowing against deep blue twilight
Tokyothe counter seat you'd never find alone
The Amalfi coast from a high terrace at golden hour, buildings stepping down to a navy sea
Amalfithe terrace worth the extra flight

The Trip Hub

Not an itinerary. A companion.

Before you leave, you get a trip hub. A private, phone-friendly guide built for this trip, for you.

Restaurants filtered by what you care about. Points of interest chosen for you, not for everyone. Your bookings, your schedule, and a note from me on what to order, when to arrive, and what to skip.

  • Every reservation, every contact, every document, in one place
  • My personal notes on each day, each restaurant
  • A Today view that tells you what's next and when to leave
  • Works offline, on a plane or in a dead zone
  • No login. No download. You open a link. It works.

Idea

+ Add something of your own

Carta is not for every trip. That is a good thing.

I would rather be clear before the call than polite after it. The fit matters, because the work is personal.

Carta is right for you if

You care where you stay, not only what it costs

You want hotels, restaurants, timing, and support handled together

You prefer texting one person over managing five booking tabs

You are planning a hotel-led leisure trip, family trip, honeymoon, anniversary, or recurring travel

It is probably not right if

You only want the cheapest possible flight

You already booked everything and only need a pretty itinerary

You want a generic city guide with the same list everyone else has

What Carta Is

“Every client gets a trip hub. Their hotels, their restaurants, their contacts, my personal notes. On their phone. Built around who they are. And they get me. Directly. You text me, I answer. You call me, I pick up. Something goes wrong at midnight in Tokyo, I'm the one who fixes it. That's Carta.”

Gabe Rozavski, Founder

One standard of service.

Every client. Every trip.

  • A dedicated travel advisor who picks up the phone
  • A trip hub built for your specific trip, on your phone
  • Hotel bookings through preferred partnerships, often with upgrades
  • Restaurant reservations and experiences, including places that don't take online bookings
  • In-trip support: text me, I answer
  • Post-trip debrief so the next trip is even better

How the pricing works →

The question is not whether you can book a trip. Of course you can.

The question is whether you want the work, the context, and the backup handled by someone who knows why each choice is there.

Can I just ask ChatGPT for restaurants?

Yes. It can give you a list. It cannot know what night fits your flight, hold the booking, place it near your hotel, or answer when the plan breaks.

Is this just a travel advisor?

Yes, and that is the point. I book hotels, restaurants, flights, and experiences. The difference is that the trip does not end as a PDF in your inbox.

Can I book direct?

Sometimes you should. Sometimes I can get a better fit, a better room conversation, or a benefit you would not see on the public booking page.

Tell me where you want to go

Why “Carta”

Carta means maps.

I named it that because every trip I build starts with a simple question: who are you when you travel? Do you move fast or do you breathe? What's the best trip you've ever taken? What would make a trip feel like it went wrong?

A 20-minute call is enough to know if Carta is the right fit. No commitment. No pitch. Just a conversation.
