I’m Marilyn Russell Grant, the heart behind Artisan Getaways - a boutique travel service born from a lifelong passion for culture, storytelling, and soul-stirring experiences. With a background in design and a deep love for global discovery, I created Artisan Getaways to offer travelers more than a vacation. I wanted to craft journeys that are beautifully curated, rooted in authenticity, and leave a meaningful imprint - on both the traveler and the destination.

Over the years, I’ve wandered through the streets of Tuscany, captured golden hours in Costa Rica, dined in hidden trattorias across Italy, and stood in awe of the rich traditions woven into every corner of the world. These experiences shaped my belief that travel is an art form - one best approached with care, intention, and a touch of refined indulgence.

At Artisan Getaways, I specialize in designing luxury travel experiences with with purpose - seamlessly blending sustainability, culture, and personalized detail. Whether it’s a solo escape for renewal, a group getaway filled with connection, or a once-in-a-lifetime immersive journey, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

Let’s create something unforgettable together - crafted for your spirit, aligned with your values, and filled with the beauty the world has to offer.
