The Face Behind It All

Hi, I’m Tracy

My happiest moments are when I’m exploring - whether it’s a hidden local trail or a far-off destination. But exploration, for me, has always been about more than the scenery. It’s about the sense of awe, curiosity, and creativity that gets unlocked when we step outside of our comfort zone.

Like many women, my path hasn’t been linear. I’ve learned (sometimes the hard way) that life doesn’t always go as expected. Yet each twist, mistake, and unexpected detour has taught me something valuable, and now I use that wisdom to guide other women. That’s my strength: experimenting, learning, and then sharing what truly works.

Today, as a travel coach, I help women in midlife infuse their lives with purpose and joy through meaningful adventures. My role isn’t to tell you how to travel; it’s to support, inspire, and empower you to design experiences that awaken your playful spirit and reconnect you to yourself. Think of me as your guide, cheerleader, and partner in creating adventures (near or far) that light you up from the inside out.

Why This Is My Passion

My love for exploration started early. Growing up as a "base brat" (moving 12 times before graduation!), I learned to adapt, find the positive everywhere, and embrace new experiences. It was like a joyful addiction to "new," and it shaped who I am today.

Decades later, I've combined my background in community development, learning, and well-being with my own wanderlust to create tools and initiatives that help women experience the joy of intentional travel. Becoming a certified travel coach felt like a natural next step – a way to share my passion and empower others to create their own adventures.

My Travel Truths

Travel is for everyone

The world is a wonder to explore! Whether you're dreaming of a big trip or exploring your local park, the spirit of adventure is available to us all.

I believe travel is a shared human experience, and I'm excited to connect with others who are passionate about exploring the world, in whatever way feels right for them.

There is joy and beauty everywhere

We don’t need to go far or spend a fortune to experience the wonder and awe that travel inspires. It’s less about distance and more about perspective. With curiosity and intention, the ordinary can become extraordinary.

Let’s choose to celebrate the beauty, light, and magic that surround us each day—whether we’re halfway around the world or just stepping out our front door.

Every Journey is Unique

There's no "right" way to travel. Let's celebrate our differences, share our stories, and learn from each other's experiences – no judgment, no competition, just joyful connection.

Traveling Means Being a Good Human

Let’s travel with intention and be mindful of what we leave behind and the connections we create. By being thoughtful about how we move through the world, we respect the places we visit, honour the people we meet, and deepen our own experiences.

Leave each place, and each encounter, better than we found it.
