Hi, I’m Brie!

I’m a travel advisor, a mom, a storyteller, and a firm believer that a great trip is about more than simply getting from one place to another.

I love the planning that happens before a trip—the excitement of choosing a destination, finding the right places to stay, building an itinerary, and making sure the important details are taken care of. But I also believe the best travel experiences leave room for a little spontaneity.

Because sometimes the moments you remember most aren’t the ones you carefully planned.

They’re finding a cozy coffee shop when the rain starts falling and ending up in conversation with people you never would have met otherwise. They’re taking the scenic trail because something about it catches your eye. They’re lingering a little longer over dinner because no one is ready to leave. They’re discovering a place that wasn’t on your original itinerary and realizing it’s exactly where you wanted to be.

And some of my favorite adventures are the ones I get to experience with my kids.

I love watching them discover a new place through their own eyes—trying foods they’ve never tasted, asking a hundred questions, learning about different cultures and history, and finding wonder in things I might otherwise walk right past. Traveling with kids may require a little more planning, but I wouldn’t trade the opportunity to let them explore, learn, and experience the world firsthand.

That’s a big part of how I approach travel planning for families, too. I want a trip to feel organized enough that you can relax, but flexible enough that your family has room to be curious and make memories along the way.

As a travel advisor, my goal is to help you create an experience that gives you both: a thoughtfully planned trip where the important details are handled, and enough freedom to slow down, follow your curiosity, and let the adventure find you.

This blog is where I share the places I visit, the experiences I love, the travel tips I’ve learned along the way, and the little moments that make me fall in love with travel over and over again.

And when you’re ready to plan an adventure of your own, I’d love to help.

You bring the curiosity. I’ll help with the details.

My Travel Style

This really depends on where I’m going. Sometimes I’m the person who books a flight, packs a bag, and figures it out as I go. Other times, I love having every detail planned out and all I have to do is show up and enjoy the ride.

I think that’s one of my favorite things about travel—it doesn’t have to look the same every time.

Every destination gives me a chance to try something new, step a little outside my comfort zone, and see the world from a different perspective. I usually come home with more than just pictures and souvenirs. I bring back a new idea, a new appreciation, or sometimes even a new passion.

And honestly? I love not knowing exactly what that will be before I go.

My Current obsession: Having my kids come up with vacation plans/ideas. Seeing their excitement fuels mine.

I’m Always packing: At least one space saver bag, because you know souvenirs.

Things that saved me : Tracking devices in my luggage; 10/10 absolutely recommend.

Top Dream destination: To stay in one of the overpriced bubbles under the northern lights. If anyone has a hook up let me know please.

Travel Must Haves: A day of nothing. Normally a few days into the trip to explore things discovered or just relax and unwind.
