Our Story
I'm a DFW-based travel advisor and lifestyle designer helping clients plan thoughtful, elevated travel with a concierge touch. Through Journee Design+Travel, I curate leisure escapes, incentive trips, group travel, and retreats that feel seamless, personal, and memorable.
Some of my favorite destinations include St. Martin, St. Barts, Anguilla, Vancouver, Turks and Caicos, and, closer to home, California and Arizona. I'm drawn to places with beautiful design, rich culture, warm hospitality, memorable food, mountain views, sparkling waters, and space to truly unwind. Whether you're stepping away from the demands of everyday life, celebrating a milestone, rewarding your team, or bringing a group together, I help design the details so you can simply arrive and enjoy the journey.
Travel Style
My travel style is intentional, stylish, and experience-led. I love boutique hotels, beautiful spaces, meaningful meals, wellness moments, local gems, and itineraries that feel curated without feeling over-planned.
I believe travel is a lifestyle, not just a vacation. From luxury leisure trips to group retreats and incentive travel, I focus on ease, connection, and the little details that make a trip feel truly personal.

We had an excellent experience working with Mariah McKee. She made the entire booking process seamless from start to finish, handling every detail with professionalism and care. She was consistently responsive, easy to communicate with, and always available to answer questions or provide guidance.
What really stood out was her level of support, not just during the booking process, but even after our stay. She followed up to make sure everything went well, which speaks to her commitment to her clients and overall service.
We truly appreciated the experience and look forward to working with her again on future trips.

Mariah helped plan a cruise for our group of 6, and she really helped make everything smooth and enjoyable for us. We LOVED the priority boarding that she got us, complimentary! And she surprised us with a custom gift for the trip. She made sure our cabins were close to each other, and she helped coordinate my birthday during the trip. I would not book another cruise without her!! She's the best.

For anyone considering their next vacation getaway, I cannot recommend Journee highly enough! My girlfriends and I decided to partner with them for a wellness retreat, and I am so glad we did. From the moment we connected with Mariah, we felt assured that everything was taken care of, allowing us to enjoy a worry-free and stress-free getaway.
Mariah's planning is truly exceptional. Upon our arrival, we were pleasantly surprised to find a thoughtful welcome treat waiting for us in our hotel rooms—a delightful touch that set the tone for our stay.
Thank you, Mariah, for making our experience so enjoyable and stress-free. We are already looking forward to planning our next vacation with you and the Journee team!

North vs. South: It Feels Like Two Different Islands
St. Lucia holds a special place in my heart because it feels like two completely different worlds wrapped into one unforgettable island—vibrant, lively, and full of culture in the north, yet peaceful, scenic, and soul-stirring in the south. The Harbor Bay area, especially, gave me a sense of connection to the local community with its music, food, and everyday life unfolding right outside the resort. Exploring both sides of the island made the trip feel deeply personal and meaningful, offering both adventure and moments of true calm. It’s a destination that stays with you long after you’ve left.

A First-Timer's Disney Dream Cruise: A Multigenerational Reunion to Remember
This Disney Cruise wasn’t just about the destinations. It was about sitting side-by-side with family at dinner, watching the kids laugh in the splash zone, and soaking up every magical moment. For first-timers—and especially those planning a multigenerational trip—preparation is key, but so is flexibility and fun.
