Cara Stewart
Your advisor
About
I'm an independent travel advisor with Fora Travel and the founder of La Via Cara, a boutique advisory for travelers who want a trip that feels like their own. “La via” means “the way”: your way, tailored to you.
I work with couples, families, and groups on custom trips of every shape: honeymoons, milestone birthdays, girls trips, family reunions, and once-in-a-lifetime adventures. I'm highly organized, always available, and I take pride in hearing what you really want out of a trip, then making it happen.
“Travel, tailored to you.”
Every detail, handled
Flights, stays, transfers, and the tiny logistics in between.
Honest recommendations
Only the places and stays I would book for my own family.
Present before and during
From the first idea to the flight home, I stay on call.
Personal, always
No call centers, no templates. Your trip is built for you.
What I Do
From the first spark of an idea to the moment you land back home, every piece of your trip is planned, booked, and looked after.

Personalized itineraries built around how you like to travel, for couples, families, friend groups, and milestone celebrations.

Hotels, villas, and apartments, carefully chosen to fit your style, your group, and your destination.

Tours, private guides, cooking classes, tastings, and the dinner reservations that make a trip memorable.

Cruise planning, flight booking, and the transfers that connect every piece of your trip.

Girls trips, family reunions, and company incentive travel, coordinated so the organizer gets to enjoy the trip too.

Client Love
Real words from real trips, from honeymoons to milestone birthdays to family vacations.
“Fantastic choices. She did her homework. Europe is not the easiest place to accommodate 4 people, 2 adults and 2 kids. Cara chose skillfully. The places we stayed always had the best view of our destination for a fair price, accommodated our teens well and in general were super clean, comfy, and great places to stay. We beyond felt very lucky as we moved through Europe to have such perfect accommodations.”

“Cara was extremely attentive to all of our requests. She really listened to us and gave us great recommendations. Would highly recommend her!”

Custom trip planning
“I recently worked with Cara Stewart from La Via Cara to coordinate a complex group trip for six couples to celebrate my 50th birthday adventure in Tulum, Mexico, and I cannot recommend her services enough. Organizing travel for 12 people is usually a logistical nightmare, but Cara made it look effortless. She curated a truly spectacular experience for us, starting with a stunning villa that actually featured seven master bedrooms—ensuring everyone in our group felt like a VIP. From securing seamless private transportation for the entire group to arranging elite private chefs and breathtaking beachfront dinners, every detail was handled with precision and style. Cara’s expertise really shined in the activities she curated. She managed all our access and tickets to the cenotes, booked us into the most amazing clubs, and organized an unforgettable day out on the ocean. Because she is a Fora Advisor, her connections and 'VIP' touch were evident throughout the entire itinerary. If you are looking for a travel advisor who can handle high-level logistics while maintaining a sense of beauty and intention, book with Cara. She took the stress out of the planning so we could simply enjoy the moments. We will definitely be using La Via Cara for our next escape!”

“Cara was great! She was very knowledgeable about the properties, restaurants and activities in the area and matched our requests and needs to a tee. She not only booked our hotel but helped us to create an unforgettable vacation filled with a great balance of activities and relaxation, unique cultural experiences and amazing food. We will confidently use Cara to help us with future bookings.”

“We had Incredible Experience with Travel Advisor Cara Stewart!”
“Working with Cara Stewart was an absolute dream! She made planning our trip to the Kona Kai Resort in San Diego completely effortless and filled with personal touches that made it truly special. From the start, Cara was organized, thoughtful, and incredibly attentive — she sent detailed emails and text updates to make sure we were fully prepared and never had to stress about a thing. The moment we arrived, we were greeted with champagne and a sweet personalized note, which made the experience so romantic and memorable. Thanks to Cara, we also received a $100 resort credit and access to a complimentary breakfast buffet that made our mornings even better! Every detail of our stay reflected her care and professionalism. She turned what could have been a standard business trip into a magical getaway we’ll never forget. We can’t recommend Cara Stewart highly enough — she’s truly the best at what she does, and we’ll definitely be reaching out to her for our next trip.”

“I had the very best corporate travel experience with Cara, Fora, and the Beacon Grand. First of all, Cara secured me free breakfast each day of my 3-night stay. She also got me 2 drink tickets for cocktails at the hotel’s very chic bar. And, a $100 in food and beverage credit which was a real gift because the restaurant on site at the Beacon was phenomenal. I actually wanted to eat there. She was able to get me a 1pm late check out so I was able to take meetings from the desk in my room before departure.”
“Looking forward to booking again!”
