Hey Reader. If I could sit down with you over coffee and look at your travel plans, here’s what I’d probably say: Skip the tourist traps. Pick one or two meaningful experiences, and give yourself space to actually enjoy them. This is exactly how I travel…with intention, curiosity, and of course, some indulgence built in. It’s also how I help my clients plan trips that feel both effortless and enriching. We travel to make lifelong memories, not tick off boxes on someone else's checklist. If you’re ever curious what it’s like to travel like that, I'd love to show you. My books are currently open for 1:1 trip planning! You can see all of the options here. You can also hit reply to find out how it works. I'm currently working on trips to Peru, Scotland, Ireland, France, and South Africa, but I have space for more clients this fall. I'd love to work with even more people who appreciate travel, but are feeling a little overwhelmed about making it all happen. Maybe we can take something off your plate this weekend? Just hit reply :) -Carolyn |
Hi, I'm Carolyn! I believe your vacation should actually feel like one - not another project to manage. As a luxury travel advisor based in Seattle, WA, I'm here to ensure every journey delivers exactly what you desired, completely effortlessly. Think of me as your personal curator, your cultural interpreter, and your detail-obsessed advocate, all in one. I email weekly to the Windward Circle, a group of thoughtful explorers who receive insider insights and cultural travel inspiration. Join us!
Hey Reader. Did you know I'm an avid weightlifter? I know it has nothing to do with travel, but it's a part of my world, and I wanted to share it with you today. I hope that's okay. In fact, just this week, I squatted with weights for the first time since ankle surgery in December. I went super light (for me) - 135 lbs - but it felt great! Speaking of things you didn’t know…I was thinking about all the things I don’t know about luxury travel. So I spent some time on Google and found some...
It’s fair to say that I can be a bit wordy, Reader. So today I thought I’d switch it up. Rather than tell, I want to show you something. I love this picture because: a) I am BEAMING, b) I actually got some sun on this trip, and c) it represents something I had dreamed about since first grade. I was the kid who did all her drawings, creative writing, and projects on ancient Greek mythology. And the adult who sunk WAY too many hours into Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Getting to see these ancient...
Hey Reader. It's been a wild and wonderful week over here, planning several amazing trips for folks in Seattle. Today was great - not only did I get to write an email in French, I also saved a client $575 on airfare this morning. A new high score! If you've been here for a while, you may remember that back in October I chatted with my friend and colleague Chanelle Carlin on her podcast, Now You May Kiss. Chanelle is a wedding officiant here in the PNW, and we go way back. On our last episode,...
