My Story

Hi, I’m Hayli—travel planner, explorer, and founder of Dandie Travel. I’m a Sagittarius who’s always been drawn to the thrill of new places. My first international trip was to Mexico at 18, but I didn’t get my passport until I studied abroad in Barcelona in 2007. Since then, I’ve traveled to 22 countries, five continents, and 15 national parks. Some of my favorite places so far: Amsterdam, Lisbon, Costa Rica, the San Juan Islands, Marfa, Kenya, and Yellowstone. At the top of my list to visit next? The Galápagos Islands, the Atacama Desert, Glacier National Park, the Azores, and Cape Town. I live in Austin with my husband, Jonathan—we’ve been married for 10 years—and our two kids, Dash (8) and Indie (5), who inspired the name Dandie Travel.

Hayli planned a wonderful trip to Portugal that exceeded my expectations. My itinerary included Porto, Lisbon, and several surrounding towns and villages, with private guides and private transportation throughout. The itinerary offered an excellent balance of scheduled activities and personal free time, allowing me to experience the country at a comfortable pace.

The boutique hotels she chose were unique, charming, and provided exceptional service. Every guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely enjoyable to spend time with. The museums, historical sites, and local experiences were thoughtfully / expertly selected based on the criteria I provided during the trip planning phase. The sites I visited and the expert guides gave me a deeper appreciation for Portugal’s culture and history.

One of the greatest benefits of working with Hayli was having access to her expertise and local connections. She identified reputable hotels, outstanding guides, and interesting experiences that I likely would never have found on my own. Rather than spending countless hours researching an unfamiliar country, I was able to simply arrive, be greeted at the airport, and enjoy a perfectly organized itinerary.

Whether you prefer a fast-paced adventure or a more relaxed vacation, are traveling solo as I was, with a partner, or with a group of friends, I highly recommend Hayli’s services. She created a truly five-star experience from start to finish, and I am already considering my next trip with her help.

Hayli was tremendously attentive and helped me navigate small things with big impacts while helping me enjoy an area that has very few guides. I love how uniquely she is able to tailor agendas to her clients’ needs! I’ll be back!

Her communication was always prompt, clear, and thoughtful, and she really took the time to understand our preferences. Every recommendation she made felt personalized and spot-on, which made planning our trip so much easier.

What stood out most was her attention to detail and how proactive she was throughout the process. Everything was handled effortlessly on our end thanks to her.

I would highly recommend Hayli to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and truly dedicated travel advisor. We’ll definitely be working with her again for future trips!
