La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, Spain

I have had a huge passion for traveling my entire life. I grew up going on family vacations around the US from states like Florida, Colorado, New York, Texas, Hawaii etc. My favorite memories from growing up is exploring new places of the country and seeing what that place had to offer. Each place in the world is unique in some way and I think can offer something amazing to learn. As I grew up, I started to go on trips with my friends from driving cross country 21 hours to Florida or flying to Arizona to enjoy some hiking, I always found myself wanting to explore more.

After I graduated college at Missouri State University, I found myself living in southern Spain and teaching English to kids from the age of 4-16. I had the opportunity to live there for about two years. Living in a different country was an incredible way to immerse myself in the Spanish culture and way of living. Andalucía, the southern region of Spain, is full of life, beauty, magic, and somewhere I consider to be a second home. Having the opportunity to live there, means that I was able to really explore the country on a deeper level and know the culture, the day to day living, and expectations and requirements of traveling. I was not only able to explore Spain but I was also able to plan my own trips to surrounding countries of Europe and of Africa.

After planning, helping, and giving recommendations to friends and family for their European vacations, I decided to turn my passion for traveling into a career.  I became a travel agent in the year 2024, I completed the Travel Institute TAP program and am continuing educating myself everyday. Traveling to a new place can be scary and nerve wrecking, I am so excited to be here to calm nerves, make the process of planning as stress free as possible, and create perfect trips around the world. I love to hear about the different ways people can fall in love with places around the world, some places might just surprise you!
