But I believed in what I was building and knew I wanted to help others create lasting memories through travel.

I’ve heard repeatedly that you have to separate emotion from business, keep things strictly professional, and always present a polished, perfect image. I disagree with all of that—because my business is personal, and the work I do IS deeply emotional by nature. I walk into some of the most sacred, vulnerable moments of people’s lives—whether it’s the tender chaos of welcoming a newborn with or without a heartbeat, the bittersweet pride of a military homecoming, the quiet joy of a courthouse elopement, or the unimaginable grief of saying goodbye too soon.  Read More>>
