Destination Weddings, Honeymoons, & Romantic Getaways
My name is Meagan. I'm a travel enthusiast who decided to turn my passion into a profession. I became a travel agent after my own destination wedding in 2020 and I specialize in destination wedding planning, honeymoons, and romantic getaways.
DM me via Instagram (@escapekeytravelco) or email me (mdclements5@gmail.com) to learn more about my personalized travel planning services.
After teaching high school history for ten years, I decided to be a stay at home mom for my little one and become a home-based travel agent. My husband and I love to travel & it's been a core component in our relationship: From our first trip together in Montreal, to his proposal at the Cliffs of Moher, to our destination wedding in Oahu - we are always down to incorporate travel into our schedule.
With my background in academia, I'm a highly trained researcher, organized planner, and incredibly detail-orientated. As a travel agent, I have access to unique resources and will work with you to find your perfect escape from the daily grind. While planning your trips, I love to find the finest accommodations, unique excursions, the hidden gems, the best foodie destinations, and I work hard to meet all of my clients' preferences.
In my spare time: I love to get lost in books, compete against my husband with a tabletop board game, solve my true crime/mystery subscription box, try new foods or grab takeout, research my latest history obsession, all while sipping my favorite beverage: tea.
