Meet the Experts!

---

Hi friend! I'm Byrd and travel is my love language. I am the proud founder of this amazing organization and I strive to create unique experiences that capture the authentic culture of each country. As your advisor, you will gain a new friend. I absolutely want to create memories that you will cherish for a lifetime and I think it's equally important to build meaningful connections while doing it. I believe that people grow and gain empathy through immersive cultural experiences and my goal is to bring those experiences to as many people as possible!

From a young age I have known two things: I love to help others and I love to go on adventures. Throughout my childhood, my passions were fed with family trips and various school organizations, as well as volunteering opportunities. While attending college at the University of Michigan (Go Blue!), I was able to dive deeper into other cultures around the world in my anthropology studies and this fueled my desire to explore the world and all it has to offer. Entering the professional world, I have had countless opportunities to help others in my career and I've always found that to be my favorite part of any job that I've had. In 2019 I became a Mom. My husband and I knew from the beginning that we wanted to raise our little one to be adventurous and to seek new experiences via traveling. I want to help you expand your worldview through travel and make your adventure-seeking dreams come true! 

I'm Lauren. I'm a wife, a lover of immersive travel, a supporter of equality, and a true cat lover. I plan trips that bring different cultures to life for all travelers, but I have taken an interest in specifically making sure travelers of all diverse backgrounds are safe. Not every country is supportive of different races, religions, or sexual orientations and I spend my days ensuring my clients are welcome in the destinations that we choose! 

Travel is for all.

I am an avid traveler and so excited to share my expertise so you can have a wonderful trip!  Whether you are looking for a laid-back beach vacation, an adventurous trip of a lifetime or something in between, I will be here to take care of all the details!  Traveling, immersing myself in different cultures and experiencing all the world has to offer are what I live for.  I’ve been fortunate enough to experience some amazing things – gorilla trekking in Uganda, swimming in cenotes in Mexico, skydiving in Maine, and drinking a pint of Guinness in Ireland to name a few.  I am so excited to work with you and help turn your travel dreams into a reality!If you want to dine with locals as they prepare a meal for you in their home or relax on a beach or poolside, you will still interact with locals and be able to learn something about their country and culture.  

I’m Nikki and I love all things travel! Seriously. I love reading about it, talking about it, planning it, and obviously the act of traveling itself. Because I love travel I’m passionate about the work I do and I want my clients to truly feel that passion themselves as we work through creating amazing itineraries together. My 15 years of experience in the travel industry have taught me many tricks of the trade, but nothing replaces the personal experiences of traveling around the world. From hiking the cloud forest in Costa Rica to hang gliding in Kitty Hawk, I’m always looking to jump into the best experiences that a destination has to offer! Contact me for your next adventurous getaway!

I grew up in a household where work-life balance wasn't a priority until my parents were empty nesters or retired. Due to that mentality, I always felt that all work and no play wasn't the way to live life, which is why being an advocate of a work-life balance cultivated my love of travel, and planning trips, it has been my therapy.   

It brings me such joy and purpose when planning a vacation - knowing that's one thing you do not have to worry about. I am here to help you explore nature's beauty and the wonders of the world through travel, so you can achieve that work-life balance. It's been said, Travel is the only thing you can buy that makes you richer in experience, wisdom, and knowledge! Travel is an investment in yourself, so I look forward to being a part of that journey. 

Congratulations! You are already taking the steps towards a life changing experience! Traveling has the capacity to do that. It can change your life. But with great travels, comes the stressful process of planning your journey. That’s where I come in. My name is Samantha and I want to help provide you a life changing experience!   

My biggest fears when traveling are missing out on all the experiences that I would love and fitting everything on my wish list into my traveling schedule. This is why I love visiting a place twice! A second trip always allows me to perfect my itinerary, but who has the time and money to do that?! Allow my expertise to provide you with a trip that will have the excitement of seeing a place for the first time, but also the peace of mind of knowing you have an itinerary so polished that you’d think you’ve been there before. I can make sure your journey is as exciting, and as fulfilling, as it should be.
