Masai Mara - Kenya

My favorite trip is designing & going where I've never been.

It had been awhile since I took a bucket list vacation, but after taking a Mother-Daughter trip to Prague & Vienna in 2021, all of that changed. I find that especially as parents, we tend to get caught up with the day-to-day hustle & don’t take the time for ourselves. This trip with Sophia was magical & it made me yearn for more. I knew I could make a career out of this passion I felt while there. I fully believe that everyone deserves impeccable travel experiences. When traveling, there is nothing to lose, a great world to see & I am so happy to be able to offer that to my now clients.

Travel was always a dream of mine - yet not fully attainable until after college. Growing up in the Midwest as a family of 6, our travels were limited to road trips. After college & marriage - it became OUR goal to make travel a priority! Even with careers, raising our family & a budget - we did it!!

As a family we visited Poland (multiple times), Maui, Aruba, Jamaica, Ski resors throughout the US, Curacao, Hiked in Banff, Fished in Alaska & Sailed throughout the BVI's, Exumas & Abacos Islands. 

In September of 2023, we celebrated our new chapter as empty-nesters with an epic Safari Trip to The Masai Mara in Kenya. Waking up in our amazing tent & spending hours on a Safari Ride was a daily "pinch me" moment. #takethetrip

My Travel Tips: 

1: Don't post too much. Enjoy the human connections & being present in the moment

2: The week leading to a trip - hydrate, get lots of sleep & eat a clean balanced diet. I like to start my vacation feeling fresh & rested. (Even with the crazy packing)! 

3: Keep moving! Once you arrive in a new destination, plan a walking or biking tour to stay energized & fight off jet lag.

4: Let someone drive! Having a friendly face greet you after landing and whisk you off to your hotel is a sure way to get your trip off to a positive start.
