Founder & Travel Expert

Growing up in southern Indiana, I was always drawn to exploring new places and cultures. While my family preferred staying close to our lake house, I quickly became the designated planner—organizing everything from hotels and excursions to, eventually, multi-week Mediterranean cruises. Those early experiences gave me the freedom to experiment, learn, and discover what it truly takes to design meaningful travel.

After graduating from Purdue University, I built a career forecasting financial projections for a Fortune 100 company. While those years sharpened my analytical mindset and attention to detail, they also left me craving something more. A life-changing trip to Cuba with my husband reignited my passion for exploration—and ultimately led me back to what I love most.

Today, I combine that analytical expertise with a deep passion for travel to curate personalized, seamless journeys. What once were spreadsheets are now thoughtfully designed experiences—crafted to immerse you in new cultures, spark inspiration, and create memories that stay with you long after you return home.
