About the Founder
MARIA ANGELA DI CARA
​
For Maria, travel isn’t just a passion — it’s a lifelong devotion to beauty, culture, and connection. A global citizen, luxury travel designer, and devoted curator of transformative experiences, Maria is currently based in Wilmington North Carolina, and has spent years uncovering the world’s most exquisite places with an artist’s eye and a heart for service.
​
Fluent in four languages and a dual citizen of Italy and the U.S., Maria studied opera and languages in Florence, Italy, while working in the fashion world — immersing herself in European elegance, timeless design, and the art of living well. Her refined sensibilities and global experience now shape every journey she creates for her clients.
​
Maria approaches luxury travel as both a craft and a calling. She listens deeply, learns what matters most to you, and then meticulously designs a journey tailored to your desires — anticipating every detail and infusing each moment with thoughtful, personal touches. From remembering your anniversary to having your favorite wine waiting at check-in, she makes sure you’re seen, celebrated, and completely cared for.
​
Clients often describe her as “top shelf,” “impeccably attentive,” and “deeply conscientious.” Once you travel with Lux Quest, you become part of the family — and Maria is there not just for this journey, but for all the ones that follow, helping you build a lifelong timeline of unforgettable escapes.
​
She doesn’t just plan trips. She curates soul-stirring experiences — woven with meaning, elegance, and intention.
​
"I am so excited to connect with you and bring your travel visions to life! We will go above and beyond crafting a carousel of unique travel memoirs for you and your families that will last a lifetime."​
