ABOUT ME

Nature is my happy place

I didn’t grow up as a world traveler, but everything changed when I did a study abroad program in Australia. What I thought would be the adventure of a lifetime turned out to be the start of a lifetime of adventures! I learned to hike, sail, kayak, scuba dive, and more. I had officially caught the travel bug. From Sydney, I traveled on weekends and school breaks to Tasmania, the Outback, the Great Barrier Reef, New Zealand, Fiji, and more.

The internet was in its infancy, so I relied on travel books, but I relished reading them and finding new adventures. Even back then, I loved to talk to fellow travelers and was always planning where to go next and searching for unique experiences.

My ideal vacation has always revolved around outdoor adventures with stunning scenery, but after becoming a Mom, I realized you could have an amazing vacation without scaling a mountain or rappelling into a canyon. In fact, many of the best sights of our amazing national parks don’t even require hiking boots. When I traveled with my young son, I happily traded Class V rapids for scenic floats and 10-mile hikes for half-mile strolls. I loved seeing him put down the screens and appreciate the stunning beauty of the great outdoors.

I’ve planned girls’ trips, couples’ trips, family trips, and solo trips. I know how to customize an itinerary for every ability level and interest. Whether you want to hike down to the floor of the Grand Canyon or stay in a luxury tent under the stars that doesn’t remotely feel like a tent, I’ve got you covered.

It all started in Australia…

AI is Great, But you need more

ChatGPT can plan a generic trip. I can plan your trip.

AI hasn’t hiked the Grand Canyon, strolled along Jenny Lake, sailed the Acadia coastline, swam in the alpine lakes of Yosemite, or watched bears roam in Glacier. I have.

The truth is I have used AI, free blogs, and review sites to plan my own trips and I spend WAY more time planning trips now than before those resources existed. I combine that research with my first-hand experience to save you hours and hours of time while ensuring every detail is designed around your style, pace, and priorities. AI can suggest. I listen, adapt, and personalize.
