How My Journey Began

In my 20s, I found that I would be waiting around for my friends to travel with me. It wasn't until I went on my first semi-solo trip and met so many like-minded travel enthusiasts that I really started traveling internationally much more often and using all my vacation days.

Today I'm proud to say that I have traveled to 55 countries, but it's not just checking a country off my list. I enjoy experiencing the culture and spending one to four weeks in each country I travel to.

My Approach to Travel Design

I'd love to listen to what kind of trip you'd like to take and help plan it out! I'm of the mindset that it's a good idea to do the harder travel locations while you are still physically and mentally able to.

Solo Trips

My own travels took off on my first semi-solo trip, where I met so many like-minded travelers. I'd love to help you plan yours.

Couples & Friend Groups

Trips for two or for your whole group of friends, planned around the kind of trip you'd like to take.

Culture & New Experiences

I focus on culture, fun, and new experiences you can try in different places that you may not be able to do in your home city.

Some of My Favorite Places

Japan, the Philippines, China, Vietnam, Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, Guatemala, Peru, Myanmar, Iceland, Patagonia, Antarctica, and a safari in Kenya and Tanzania.

The Little Things

Still on My Bucket List

I would love to do a trip traveling through Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. I'd also like to travel to Sri Lanka, Mongolia, and Socotra in Yemen. I've still got so many places on my bucket list!

My Favorite Hobby

Traveling! I'm passionate about it, and I'm lucky that my husband feels the same way.
