Persona Travels is your travel partner built on a simple but often overlooked truth:
meaningful travel begins with understanding the person taking the journey.
Every experience is intentionally designed around individual personas, the unique combination of life experiences, values, interests, rhythms, and ways of engaging with the world.

THOUGHTFUL TRAVEL PLANNING
I design intentional travel experiences for individuals, couples, families, and groups. Whether you are looking for rest, adventure, connection, celebration, or a meaningful pause, I help create a trip that aligns with what you want your time away to actually do for you.
From destination clarity to logistics and flow, the goal is simple: to make your trip feel easier, more intentional, and truly yours.

CURATED GROUP TRIPS
If you prefer to travel with others, I design and lead small group travel experiences. These trips are created to be easy, well-paced, and shared with the right people, so you can enjoy the destination without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. They will be thoughtfully designed to bring together meaningful travel, shared experiences, and genuine connection.

WOMEN'S RETREATS
A true passion of mine is to create retreats for women who are in a season of transition or change and need space away from the demands of daily life to reflect, rest, connect, and reimagine what's next.
These retreats are meant to be more than an escape. They are meant to be transformational spaces where women can gain clarity, feel supported, and move from feeling stuck to stepping more fully into who they are becoming.

I am Sona Thakkar, a certified travel coach and advisor who creates intentional travel experiences for those seeking something more meaningful. Whether through personalized travel planning, curated group trips, or retreats, I help shape journeys that inspire connection, reflection, and discovery. I believe travel has the power to expand our perspective and move us forward in lasting ways.
Travel can be more than a getaway...
