My Story

Former corporate marketer turned adventure architect, I traded PowerPoints for compass points to help others plan unforgettable journeys. Mom, travel addict, and your go-to for turning bucket lists into boarding passes.

Travel Style

My travel style is all about uncovering joy and crafting journeys that feel like they were made just for you. I dive into the details of what you love, then go the extra mile (or thousand) to make your trip unforgettable.

Our itinerary was perfect! We had a nice balance of activities and sightseeing. We enjoyed each of the restaurants that were booked for us. In addition to seeing the city, we were able to spend a day at Folly Beach which was great!

We had a fantastic experience working with Kelly Baranko from Fora. Kelly was knowledgeable, professional and timely in all of her communication. We especially loved her "can-do" mentality, which meant that no matter the request, big or small, she tackled it with vigor, providing us with answers and options that were so thorough, no stone was left unturned. Kelly was responsible for finding and recommending our wonderful tour operator, Asilia, for which we are eternally grateful. She was also responsible for developing our ambitious itinerary, which met - and exceeded! - all of our goals and objectives. The end result? The trip of a lifetime. Throughout all of the planning and execution, Kelly was fun and easy to work with. Highly recommend her services!

Kelly is a delight to work with and planned every detail of our memorable trip. She took all the stress out of planning. I’d highly recommend her travel expertise when planning a European adventure.
