Based in Texas · Eclectic Explorer

As a lifelong traveler starting as a child (I was an "Army brat" — a child of a US Armed Forces officer), I have learned to embrace new people and new places. Home is where the heart is...but this heart does travel. From the Austrian Alps and Lake Atitlán's volcanoes to the White House bowling lanes, Cancun beachside weddings, and Disney magic with my family since 2011 — adventure is simply part of who I am.

I've belted Taylor Swift at Mile High in Denver, explored the Biltmore Estate on horseback, sledded the white dunes of New Mexico, spray-painted Cadillac Ranch, and done Disney four times. I don't just book trips — I curate experiences that activate your life.

🌋 Mission & Adventure

Guatemala — Lake Atitlán

One of the most beautiful places on Earth — three volcanoes rising from a turquoise caldera lake. We came on a mission trip and left with memories that will last a lifetime.

Lake Atitlán

Lake Atitlán

Guatemala · Mission Trip

Aldous Huxley called it "the most beautiful lake in the world." Surrounded by three towering volcanoes and indigenous Maya villages, we ziplied 500 feet above its turquoise surface.
