Without suitcases, without plane tickets, Daniella James began her fascination with  travel in a unique way. Rather than leaving home, she instead gathered her sense of  wonder to explore the intricacies of her native city of Los Angeles. She delved into its  rich tapestry of diverse enclaves, from the vibrant streets of Thai Town to Little China’s  bustling markets to the warm community spaces of Little Philippines. Drawn particularly to the culinary expression of each culture she encountered, she soon broadened her  passions to beyond the U.S. borders for more native immersion, savoring meticulously  prepared sushi in Japan, indulging in Switzerland’s artisanal chocolate craftsmanship,  and enjoying freshly harvested conch in the crystalline waters of the Bahamas. Rarely  returning to a place more than once, Daniella feels alive and connected to people  through travel, even volunteering during trips to deepen her appreciation. She believes  in knowing a culture 's etiquette, norms, and communication styles.

 

Drawing on her global perspective gained through years of cultural exploration and her  degree in Multidisciplinary Studies of Business from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, Daniella now serves as Manager of Partner Relations at TRAVELLUSTRE in  Boston, Massachusetts. Serving as the primary liaison with its network of travel partners, Daniella will provide nuanced support for relationships that enable the agency  to deliver exceptional luxury international experiences to its clients. Partnerships with luxury hotels, resorts, private jet companies, yacht charters, exclusive tour operators, and other premium service providers will be her focal point, as she assists the agency’s key leadership in creating thoroughly enjoyable experiences for unforgettable memories.
