My Story
Travel fills my soul! I took my first international trip at 15 to Paris and that started my travel bug. I’ve since been to 30+ countries on six continents. I love experiencing and immersing myself in new cultures, new geography, and especially good food! Doing so has really broadened my mindset on the world and myself to see differences firsthand, giving me both an open mind and appreciation for what life offers.
Travel Style
Friends often ask what tour group I book through, but I don’t! I much prefer customizing many different experiences and day tours into a full vacation. It takes more attention to detail, but you get the best experience with everything that you want to do and none of what you don’t! Plus, if I’m traveling solo, it gives me an opportunity to meet new people. I love going to off-the-beaten-path destinations as well. If most people travel to Thailand, I go to the Philippines instead. A hidden gem from Americans! On my radar: Uzbekistan.

Booking with Regan was seamless! She researched several locations based on our wants for the weekend and presented 3 great options at varying budgets. We were welcomed to the resort with some great upgrades and amenities. I highly recommend trusting Regan with your travel arrangements, whether it's for a weekend getaway or a month long vacation overseas.

Booking with Regan made my Key West trip super easy because she took the thinking out of my planning. The activity she booked for us was a very unique and fun experience that I wouldn’t have found on my own search. I would trust her with planning any of my trips in the future!

Greek Island Summer
Our sisters trip started with a few days in Athens, exploring. Then we hopped over to Mykonos for a few days of beachfront luxury before hopping on the ferry over to Santorini for the most spectacular views.

Solo South African Adventure
This was my first solo trip—what a pick! One of the most beautiful cities and countries I have ever visited, thus far. Definitely in my top three places I’ve traveled and it was my first solo trip. I had done my research that Cape Town may not be the safest place to travel, let alone as a solo female, so I made sure I stayed in busy tourist areas during the day and was home by dark. That said, I never had a single issue or felt unsafe. Uber is readily available and the drivers were very friendly and helpful. I made Cape Town my home base for about eight days while exploring the region. Truly, so much to see and do in one area of the country.

A Philippines Adventure
This is an under-the-radar destination for Americans. Koreans are already well aware of the lure of The Philippines. When Americans think of Southeast Asian islands, the first country that comes to mind is likely Thailand. I prefer to go to off-the-beaten-path countries and the Philippines was exceptional. I didn’t want to spend my time traveling, so I flew directly into Cebu to start my stay.

Ancient Wonders of Egypt
Egypt was one of those trips that completely changed the way I see the world. Seeing the ancient wonders up close—the Pyramids, Luxor, Abu Simbel—reminded me how powerful travel can be. Every temple told a story, every market was alive with color, and every sunrise on the Nile felt like a dream. If Egypt isn’t on your list yet, it should be. It’s a bucket list destination that leaves you in awe long after you’ve returned home. It's hands-down my favorite trip ever.

The Magic of Bali
Bali was such a magical, peaceful place. While Indonesia is a mostly Muslim country, the island of Bali is 86 percent Hindu. The beautiful temples are everywhere—from grand to small. Godly offerings line the streets and the smell of incense permeates the air. The fresh organic food, the stunning waterfalls, and rice terraces of Ubud bring such peace and calm. Seminyak offers a different vibe—more lively, partying, beach culture. Spas and restaurants are in the downtown area, but you can escape to the black sand beaches just on the other side of the resorts.

Six Days in Portugal
Portugal has a special charm with its unique azulejos tiled buildings, to the pastel de nata, and the unique (and delicious) green wine. Portugal has forever captured my heart! So much history touring the medieval streets of Porto to the elegant streets of Lisbon. The Douro Valley has a unique take on terrace vineyards that produce the sweetly delicious Port wine. It’s a must-visit!
