Hi, I am Ellia from Montreal, Canada. Welcome! I am passionate about living an adventurous life and have been travelling the world for more than 15 years. Nothing in life gives me as much fulfillment as going on an adventure does. I have travelled to 50 countries (some more than once) and countless cities in each. I hope to motivate others to see more of the world and have extraordinary experiences. I hope that I am able to leave you with tips that help you experience all the great things every country in the world has to offer.

I am a current New Yorker who spent some time living in London and Paris. I am a travel enthusiast myself, and I travel in very differing styles whether I am traveling with family, friends or by myself. I grew up in a city called Izmir, a coastal city located on the West Coast of Turkey, which is mostly known for its closeness to ancient cities such as Ephesus and Pergamon, as well as its sandy beaches and crystal clear water. I am a beach vacationist, as well as a city enthusiast. I also enjoy ski trips. I can do travel planning for every budget, where to go, how to go and the accommodations there, as well as plans for whoever you are visiting with (is it a friends vacation, a romantic one, a family one, or a solo trip?).

I love traveling like a local but I'm not afraid to feel like a tourist too. I'm a "both and" sort of traveler. I want to travel a LOT so I need it to be affordable. I want to KNOW I am somewhere unique & special, so I'm willing to make that happen. I am a single mom so my expertise is in making it family friendly, fun AND affordable. And oh yeah - VERY memorable. I've had repeat visits to several locations - Colorado Springs, Denver, San Juan la Laguna, Utah, Virginia to name a few. And I adore treating my hometowns like vacation spots so I can tell you all you need to know about Greenville, SC and Travelers Rest, SC and Asheville, NC and Roanoke, VA - for starters! I'm also an ace girls trip planner. Just ask my friends who have accompanied me to cabins in North Carolina and Georgia, adventure trips in Midway, Utah, weekend stays in Savannah GA and Charleston SC and state park adventures across the United States. Themed trips are a special interest to me - especially ones centered around literature or reading. I've also traveled out of the country - Paris, London, Guatemala - with a lot of kids so I can make that accessible too. In fact - ACCESSIBLE might be my best travel descriptor and super power. I LOVE chatting about your upcoming trip and brainstorming ideas. I can go from - "I will plan every detail for you" to "Here's some highlights and you can take it from there" according to your own personal choice! Let's get you horseback in a national forest, parasailing over the ocean, electric bike riding across a mountain or touring Charles Dickens' actual home, visiting the birthplace of the Girl Scouts or having a picnic beside Thoreau's actual Walden Pond.

Solo female backpacker 🇺🇸🇧🇴🇻🇳🇨🇦🇮🇹🇳🇿 Licensed skydiver 🪂 Former K-6 educator 👩🏻‍🏫 Van life 🚐 US expat 🇺🇸 ✈️ 🇳🇿 I am a solo female traveler who LOVES to try new things. To me, life is a compilation of experiments with a goal towards self-discovery. I value personal growth and adventure through travel and hope to service others in their own journey. Being up for experimenting and trying new things wasn't always the case. I was a perfectionist who did not want to mess up in fear of rejection and damaging my self-worth. It took a lot of self-love and patience to build the confidence that I have today. I worked my way up from a completely guided tour to living abroad alone in a van. See my timeline below. If I can do it, you can do it and I'm here to help support you through that. Travel History: 2005 - First international trip to Vietnam (with the family) 2013 - South America for the first time for a study abroad trip in Bolivia 2017 - Guided solo trip (2 months in Vietnam) 2020 - Couples trip to Canada (ended early because of COVID 😢) 2022 - Improvised solo trips to Italy and Vietnam 2023 - Moved abroad alone to New Zealand...and started living in a campervan full-time Cheers, Mai
