Adventure and Experiential Travel Expert
My favorite type of travel to plan is adventure and experiential travel. What is adventure travel? Adventure travel involves activities like hiking, biking, kayaking, zip lining, skydiving, scuba diving, etc. These sorts of activities may be outside your comfort zone, but I believe that's where adventure truly lives. Even if you've never done something like this before, after you've done it you will see that you can do much more than you think. As they say, life begins at the end of our comfort zone! Experiential travel, or immersion travel, is a way of traveling where you focus on experiencing a country, city, or place by meaningfully engaging in its history, people, culture, food, and environment. Through this type of travel, you'll get to experience something much different than home, and you'll learn that we are more alike than we are different.

Hiking the Inca Trail in the Rainy Season
While most people visit Peru in the "dry season" (May through October), you shouldn't be deterred from visiting during the off season. If you visit during the "rainy season" (November through April), you can still have a great time, and even a more unique experience in some ways.

What It's Like Visiting Iceland Right Now (2021)
Like the rest of the world, Iceland was hit hard by the pandemic. But the country managed to avoid repeat lock downs for citizens, and has some of the world's highest vaccination rates. This has helped them be the first country in the EU to safely reopen, while still keeping infection ... Read more from my What It's Like Visiting Iceland Right Now (2021) story.
Falling in Love with New Orleans
I've visited New Orleans twice so far, but I could visit it 100 times and never get tired of it.
My first visit to New Orleans was magical and delicious. I basically ate my way through the city by tasting as many local dishes as my stomach could handle. I happily started ... Read more from my Falling in Love with New Orleans story.

Family Travel Planning
I am extremely intimidated by planning international travel for my family of 6, and because of this I have not travelled internationally since having children. When my four children expressed interest in visiting London and Japan, I contacted Malory for a consultation to help me plan the trip for my family. Malory made the entire planning experience stress-free by suggesting the number of days to spend in each city, transportation, accommodations, activities, and dining options. Each one of my children had specific requests for things that they wanted to see and do, and Malory found something for everyone. Malory did a great job of listening to what was important to us, and came well prepared for our consultation. She was especially talented in accommodating our travel budget while still including everything!
Los Angeles Getaway
Malory helped plan a trip for me and a friend to Los Angeles, CA. Since she had been there it was incredibly helpful consulting her on where to stay and what to do! She suggested a hostel, which I had never stayed in, and it ended up being awesome! We ended up doing one of the tours with the hostel to the Hollywood sign which I didn’t know hostels put together things like that! She definitely helped open my eyes to places besides just hotel rooms. She also helped plan our days at Universal Studios. She had already been there and knew what kind of pass we needed to buy, and what time we should arrive. And what rides to go to first! I would definitely trust Malory to help plan another trip for me. She took the stress away and helped create a wonderful travel experience.
Dream Trip to New Orleans
Malory was fantastic to work with. My trip to New Orleans was a dream trip for me! She really took the stress of planning a vacation completely out of my experience. I loved every activity she suggested and the food recommendations were phenomenal! Would definitely work with Malory again for my next trip!
Girls' Trip to New Orleans
Malory planned a perfect weekend getaway in NOLA for myself and two girlfriends. Malory was familiar with NOLA and found an adorable hotel in a great location. She found the best Voodoo, Cemetery, and swamp tours. Her food recommendations were amazing, and the weekend was just what we all needed! It was so nice to leave the stressful planning in the hands of an experienced traveler. She was able to keep our itineraries well within budget and find activities to accommodate all of our interests. I can't wait for her to plan my next adventure!
Mother Daughter Hiking Trip in Arizona
Best trip ever going to the Grand Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, and Antelope Canyon! Malory, thank you so much for planning such an amazing trip for my daughter and I.
