Travel Planning

Why Work With Me

Before I began coordinating weddings, I spent nearly a decade leading guided trips across the U.S.—from the red rock deserts of Utah to the misty forests of the Pacific Northwest. I’ve guided guests through Mount Rainier, Olympic National Park, and on Snoqualmie Falls Wine Tours, as well as national parks like Zion, Bryce, Yosemite, and Yellowstone.

As a professional guide, I learned how to craft itineraries that balance adventure, comfort, and unforgettable moments. I’ve led groups of all ages and skill levels—many over 50—on hikes, road trips, and multi-day camping adventures. My experience includes:

• Leading outdoor adventures for groups of 8–16 guests in some of the country’s most stunning national parks.
• Delivering engaging lessons on geology, botany, ecology, and Indigenous cultures, helping travelers connect more deeply with the places they visit.
• Managing all the behind-the-scenes logistics—meal planning, lodging reservations, budgeting, and safety briefings—so every trip ran smoothly.
• Coordinating with vendors, winemakers, park staff, and local businesses to create seamless, memorable experiences.
• Adapting plans for different abilities and interests, ensuring everyone feels comfortable and inspired.

Now, I bring that same expertise to travel advising and itinerary design. Whether you’re planning your first trip to a national park or adding extra adventure for guests attending your wedding, I’ll help you make the most of your time—with insider knowledge you won’t find in a guidebook. From knowing which hikes are actually worth the effort, to where to find the cleanest bathrooms and the best local bakeries, I take the stress out of planning so you can just enjoy the journey.
