Our Story
A Texas girl currently in the Midwest. I'm passionate about discovering the world’s most extraordinary places. It all started with a life-changing trip to Japan 15 years ago, an experience that sparked my love for travel. My corporate career in consulting gave me the privilege to travel with intention and comfort. For me, creating the perfect trip is like solving a rewarding puzzle, where every detail comes together to reveal unforgettable moments and stunning views.
Travel Style
Every trip I plan reflects what you love, because travel should be as personal as your perfect cup of coffee. Whether that’s exploring bustling local markets to quiet moments overlooking oceans, when you work with me, it’s always intentional. I focus on designing an experience that feels exciting and truly yours. I plan around what matters most to you, while bringing in what I personally value in travel: walkability so you can explore easily on foot, charming coffee shops for your morning ritual, standout foodie spots to satisfy every craving, and scenic places to soak in the atmosphere—whether that’s a rooftop with skyline views, a peaceful spot by the water, or an iconic landmark that takes your breath away. My goal is for you to show up and fully immerse yourself in the moment: the kind of trip where every experience stays with you long after you’ve unpacked, and you find yourself already dreaming about going back.

The entire planning and booking process was very smooth with Ashley. She was quick to respond with any questions or concerns and ensured we had all the information we needed to have an stress-free, relaxing trip! She made our honeymoon very special and unforgettable.

Overall, an absolutely wonderful time! Already picked our next location. The Cotswolds were a highlight, we wish we’d stayed longer. It was absolutely magical and I just wish we'd had more time to have explored - no way we would have known that we would love it so much when planning! The curation by our tour guide was perfect, I don’t think he could have done anything differently that would have made it any better, it was wonderful! He even pulled an audible and took us through Oxford which I am so thankful I got to see, that was a very unexpected experience.

Ashley proceeds great options for our trip, accommodations, food and things to do. She was able to make some changes on dinner reservations so we could eat with some friends. We couldn’t be more pleased.

Ashley was amazing! All coordinated efforts by her were well communicated and methodically planned. She went above and beyond when the hotel was MIA upon my arrival. She made sure I knew she was available should I need it.

I cannot say enough about working with Ashley as my travel agent. From the very beginning, she listened so intentionally and thoughtfully curated three different proposals that truly reflected my interests, goals, and comfort level. I felt seen in the process—not just as a traveler, but as a person. I genuinely could not have dreamed up a better experience. Every detail was handled so seamlessly that I felt like an absolute rock star the entire time—everything just worked. Ashley checked in consistently before and during my trip, which made me feel supported without ever feeling overwhelmed. At one point, I texted a friend, “I am in freaking New Zealand—I can’t believe this is real.” And that really sums it up. This adventure would not have been possible without Ashley’s skill, care, and encouragement. Working with her didn’t just create an incredible trip—it gave me the confidence to push myself and feel empowered to explore more of the world.
New Zealand itself was pure magic—calm waters perfect for swimming, the best almond croissants I’ve ever had, the kindest people, and views that truly feel unmatched. It was the perfect reset and recharge all at once. I will forever be thankful.
