Lives in Banff, AB, Canada
As I begin this journey into travel "influencing", I asked myself: What makes me a great travel content creator/ “influencer”? This was my answer... Travel is my OBSESSION. It begins with the foundation of my education. I studied Hospitality, Hotel and Restaurant management in college. I also have my WSET Level One, which is sommelier studies or the beginning of the process of becoming a sommelier. I studied in Niagara on the Lake which is in the Niagara region of Ontario. Niagara Falls isn’t but 20 minutes away. It’s like the Las Vegas of Canada. So tourism and travel to that area is off the charts. From there my heart got called to the Rocky Mountains of Canada. Which is arguably one of the most desired destination spot in North America, never mind the world. Over the span of 5 years I have worked in two world renowned Hotels and a Ski Resort; Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge, Fairmont Banff Springs and Banff Sunshine Village Ski Resort. This period in my life is where I truly discovered my passion and obsession with traveling internationally. In 2014 I discovered my love for Backpacking and seeing all parts of what a country has to offer. This journey started with a month long trek in the incredible country of Panama. Traveling as the only female, with a group of male colleagues, to around 5 different regions of the country, learning the culture, the language, and the depth Panama holds. The next country I spent a month in was Belize. Again, roaming the different regions, food and activities you can find in one of the most beautiful Caribbean countries. Other countries I visited during this period of my life were Costa Rica and Jamaica. Then came the beginning of a new chapter and adventure; Bali Indonesia and then Australia for two years. Australia is where I met my man. My visa expired the end of 2018, he got his and we moved back to Banff where we have lived for the last 5 years. During covid, we did a lot of exploring the west coast of Canada. Uculet, Tofino, Vancouver, and the Okanagan. After covid, we then did a two week trek exploring Baja California Surr in Mexico and the world class beaches that state has to offer. We rented a car and drove literally all around the province. And recently we just got back from exploring the insanely beautiful country of Portugal. Again where we rented a car and drove all around the country side. All the way from Nazare to the Algarve Coastline and everything in between. I’ve stayed in countless hostels, hotels and resorts. Worked and dined in dive bars and 5 star restaurants and everything in between. Spent 2 years living and working abroad in a country on the other side of the planet from everything familiar to me. Having visited 9+ Countries in the last 10 years, my twenties were truly dedicated to exploring as much of the world as I could with what I had. And because of these experiences, I completely understand the value and quality of a whole range of travel experiences; from camping in Tofino, too dining at the Shangri La in Sydney Australia. Now that I have stepped into my thirties, I am completely ready for more, to see more and experience more of this incredible planet. My passion and excitement for capturing and experiencing beautiful moments in time that only happen once in a lifetime, is truly what I live for. I believe and wish for everyone to have the opportunity to experience breathless moments in captivating unfamiliar places around the world. Stuart and I are currently working on Vlogs about our latest trips to Mexico and Portugal and also have very big plans of overlanding the west coast of Canada, the USA and into Mexico. So keep an eye out for these coming adventures💕

I am an avid travel enthusiast with extensive experience planning trips for myself and husband, friends, family, and colleagues. Once inspiration for a trip strikes, I become fully immersed in the planning process, and now, I am excited to help others create their dream adventures! My journey into travel planning began with a life-changing trip to Iceland, where my now-husband proposed. Since then, I have been the go-to travel planner for my circle, constantly urged by friends and family to pursue this professionally. Today, I am thrilled to share my passion for travel planning and itinerary building with you. I specialize in crafting travel experiences that seek out epic landscapes and nature. Whether it's adventurous hikes, cycling, mountain biking, camping, RVing, horseback riding, snorkeling, or scuba diving, I have a knack for finding the best spots and activities to make any trip unforgettable. I particularly enjoy slow travel and own a Class C RV, which I have driven across the United States along with my two dogs. I am well-versed in using tools like RV Life Pro to plan detailed road trip itineraries, ensuring every journey is smooth and enjoyable. Based in the Portland, Maine area, I am a strong advocate for loving where you live. Maine holds a special place in my heart, and I would love to show you all the incredible experiences this beautiful state has to offer.

Denise & Marco
Lives in Medellín, Medellin, Antioquia, Colombia
Hiya!! We are Denise and Marco, a full-time travel/ life abroad married couple with a deep passion for immersing ourselves in new cultures and embracing unique experiences around the world. 🙌 We have been living a life abroad for over 8 years! 🎇As we continue to explore and learn from our travels, we have decided to share our experiences and offer personalized travel itineraries and guidance. We believe that every traveler is unique, with individual preferences and interests. We aim to curate tailor-made experiences that focus on local activities and bypass mass tourism. ✨More about us✨ Our love for travel began when we first met, and since then, it has become an integral part of our lives. In 2016, we made a life-changing decision to leave the comfort of the United States and settle in the vibrant city of London. It was here that we truly began to experience travel in its purest form. London became our launchpad, igniting our passion for discovering the world and teaching us the importance of immersing ourselves in local experiences. In 2021, we decided to take our travel adventures to the next level. We left behind our settled life in the UK and embraced a nomadic lifestyle, traveling and living abroad permanently. This decision allowed us to break free from societal norms, redefine our boundaries, and truly become citizens of the world. Our experiences taught us that by embracing diversity, we enrich our own lives and develop a deeper understanding and appreciation for the world around us. We recently adopted our fur baby while living in Colombia, and he has joined us on our nomadic adventures! We're excited to guide you on your next adventure 🙌

Bery Istanbul Tips
New Pro
Lives in İstanbul, Türkiye
Do you want to explore Türkiye (Turkey) LIKE A LOCAL? Then you're in the correct place! I'm a Mexican living in Istanbul for the past 8 years. Me and my husband who was born and raised in Istanbul and is a licensed tour guide in Turkiye we both love exploring the country and share everything through our social media and guides with our amazing audience. What makes us way different is that you’ll never see us recommending ultra popular spots that have become “trendy” thanks to TikTok or Instagram because more likely they are just tourist traps and you’ll end up dissapointed either for the bad quality of the services, prices, etc, instead, we show you the city and country in a much more authentic way, from a LOCAL eye, in a way that surely you’ll remember forever. In addition to that, we also give you our little secrets that most don’t know about, we go deeper into detail and that I, of course, have learnt throughout these years of living here and experiencing every corner of the city, and tricks that also my Istanbulite husband have thought me. So, are you ready to explore the city in an authentic way? If so, our guides and itineraries are tailored exactly for that, and trust me, they’ll save you MONTHS and MONTHS of research and stress! Everything you need for an Istanbul trip is compiled here, It took me almost a year to put everything together for you, and my ebooks that became BEST SELLERS almost right away after launching them in February of 2022, now I share them here with the platform’s format, they have been very welcomed by my audience and have made a huge impact when planning their trips to Istanbul. What are you waiting for? Our guides are just a click away!

Danielle Cohen
Lives in Florence, Metropolitan City of Florence, Italy
Ciao! My name is Danielle and I'm a Californian from San Diego, who's been living full time in Florence, Italy since 2020. I studied in Florence in 2016 and absolutely fell in love with the food, culture, and history, and made it my mission to move back. I moved right before the pandemic, and staying here through all the lockdowns and pandemic life really helped me discover slow travel and find all of Italy's beauty, including lesser known gems, and off the beaten path travel spots. During my three years in Florence, I have wrote for publications like The Florentine, done freelance marketing with restaurants and a travel agency, giving me high insight into the best destinations, foodie spots, and more. I am here to help you make the most of your vacation in Italy with curated itineraries for every type of traveler and digital maps to help you enjoy THE BEST food each region has to offer. Let me do the work so you can just relax and enjoy, without any stress! I've had a very unique experience living in Italy the last 4 years, as I made my official move right before the pandemic, after visiting for years. Because of this I learned to travel locally and deeply throughout the numerous incredible destinations in Italy and for that I cater my travel services to finding the most local and mindful experiences, keeping true to discovering and appreciating Italy's culture.

We plan trips for all sorts of people, but we’re particularly passionate about connecting with those who love good food, are culturally curious, and are seeking immersive experiences that transcend the typical backpacker party scene. So whether you're yearning to wander through historic cobblestone streets or lose yourself in the vibrant colors of a bustling market, let The Lavender Travelers be your compass.

Lives in Saugatuck, MI, USA
Take your travel advice from someone who has lived there 👀 When I started traveling full-time, I learned very quickly that travel burnout is real and changing destinations every couple of days or even weeks was really not for me. I quickly pivoted to slow travel and now spend 1-3 months in each destination I visit. Spending more time in fewer locations means I am able to truly immerse myself into local culture and connect with the community on a deeper level... And it also means I can provide the best travel recommendations! Through my own in-depth experience and tapping into knowledge of the locals I meet along the way, I'm able to provide high quality travel tips to help you make the best out of your trip! I specialize in USA Travel, where I've explored 46/50 states extensively (with plans to reach all 50 by the end of 2025). I am a proud Michigan native and will never pass up the opportunity to introduce more people to it's beauty! My work has been featured on tourism boards such as UP Travel (MI), Saugautck/Douglas (MI), TN Vacation (TN), Visit Kentucky (KY), and more. While I specialize in USA Travel, I also love sharing my international adventures. Most recently, I spent one month chasing the Northern Lights in Norway and have also traveled extensively through Europe and Central America. Check out my guides for all the insider tips you need to top destinations, or contact me to help craft your perfect trip!
