Are You Craving More than a “Normal” Vacation?

Your soul needs more adventure, exploration, and LIVING

You feel most alive when you’re traveling. It’s a part of your identity.

You crave exhilaration in your otherwise routine life.

You are searching for an experience that you will reminisce about when you’re 80 years old and say with a smile,

“I can’t believe I did that” & “that moment changed my life”

Let us help you travel to transform…AND check off places you’re dying to see on your bucket list, too!

Even though you’re settled down, you don’t have to settle

IMAGINE…

  • Stepping onto the plane feeling excited, calm, and fully prepared to embark on an adventure of a lifetime.

  • Having an intentional and enriching plan for your travels that fulfills your unique lifelong goals.

  • Watching your children interact with locals and be immersed in different cultures will shape their perspectives for the rest of their lives.

  • Spending quality time with your loved ones, uninterrupted by the demands of work, school, and life.

  • Waking up every day, learning something new, pushing the limits of your comfort zone (in a good way!), and experiencing tremendous personal growth.

This is NOT a pipe dream - you really can make this happen in your life.

But you need a step-by-step plan and expert guidance to make the process as smooth as possible.

Finally take the leap and explore the world on your expertly planned adventure.

There are 2 ways to work with us…

Go from Dreams ➡️ Realistic Plan

You’ve got massive travel dreams, but you are overwhelmed by how out of reach they seem.

Here’s the thing - You don’t know what you don’t know. You don’t plan dream trips for a living, but good news - I do :)Button

Let me help you get clarity on your dreams and map out a realistic plan for exactly HOW you’ll depart on your ultimate dream trip in the next year.

If you’re just exploring this idea, start here!

Go from Rough Plan ➡️ Ready-to-Book Itinerary

You are committed to taking a BIG adventure, but your head is spinning in circles trying to figure out all the details.

And you don’t have dozens of hours to do all the detailed research.

Just thinking about all the work makes you cringe or forget about the trip all together.

Let me create a meaningful itinerary that is made just-for-you and help you holistically prepare for your adventure of a lifetime.

As Seen In

Here’s me milking a yak in Mongolia - the nomadic family laughed at how bad I was!

Hi, I’m Susie

I am a travel expert recognized by Conde Nast Traveler as a Top Travel Specialist since 2020. I founded my travel agency in 2016 and have helped hundreds of people explore the world in a personalized way that fulfills their unique dreams.

Throughout my 13-year career as a Management Consultant, I worked in Rome for 5 months, took a year-long sabbatical, and 2 separate month long sabbaticals. I also took a 5 week sabbatical while I was running my travel agency. Therefore, I understand what it takes professionally to take a sabbatical both as an employee and an entrepreneur - and the fears that pop up on both sides of the fence!

I am a Mom to a curious toddler, so I understand what it’s like to travel with a child and take their needs into consideration for such a life-changing undertaking.

I specialize in helping busy professionals and parents travel to transform their lives.

With my guidance, you’ll feel prepared - personally, professionally, financially, and mentally - to make the most of your amazing adventure abroad!
