My Story

Hi, I’m Abby—but most people know me as The Prepped Traveler

I turn “someday we should…” into packed bags and plane tickets.

I’m a luxury travel consultant with 10 years of planning magic under my belt, and my love language? A beautifully detailed itinerary. The kind with hidden-gem dinners, doors-you’d-never find on-your-own experiences, and swoon-worthy hotels that feel five-star… without the five-star sticker shock.

I believe travel should feel like this:
-Champagne energy.
-Zero chaos.
-VIP everything.
-The Prepped Traveler was born from one simple idea—a custom itinerary shouldn’t feel overwhelming or overcomplicated. It should feel exciting. Effortless. A little indulgent. And completely you.
-I handle the details.
-You collect the memories.

Travel Style

My travel style is intentional, I travel with purpose—not just to see places, but to experience them, framed through beautifully crafted itineraries that feel intentional, effortless, and enriched with meaning. I don’t just plan a trip—I prepare an experience, balanced between thoughtful logistics and joyful discovery. This isn’t just about destinations—it’s about the way you arrive there.

Working with Abby as my travel advisor was an absolute pleasure. On very short notice, while I was driving back north from Florida, she quickly stepped in to find me the perfect hotel. Despite the time crunch, Abby didn’t miss a beat—she was incredibly attentive, responsive, and efficient throughout the entire process.

Her communication was timely and clear, which made a potentially stressful situation feel completely seamless. It’s rare to find someone who can deliver that level of service under pressure, but Abby truly exceeded expectations. I felt taken care of every step of the way, and her professionalism and dedication really stood out.

I highly recommend Abby to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful travel advisor—you’ll be in excellent hands.
