ABOUT
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.
