The Face Behind It All

Hi, I’m Tracy

My happiest moments are when I’m exploring — a hidden local trail, a new path abroad, or simply a fresh way of seeing the familiar.

For me, exploration has always been about more than the scenery. It’s about the awe, curiosity, and creativity that awaken when we step outside 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 planned. Yet each twist, detour, and mistake has taught me something valuable, and now I use that wisdom in my work with others. That’s my strength: experimenting, learning, and sharing what works.

Today, I help women infuse their lives with purpose and joy through meaningful adventures. My role isn’t to tell you how to travel, but to walk beside you — supporting, inspiring, and empowering you to design experiences that reconnect you to yourself.

Think of me as your co-adventurer, mirror, and companion in rediscovering what lights you up — near or far.

Why This Is My Passion

My love of exploration started early. Growing up as a “base brat,” I moved 12 times before graduation — learning to adapt, find connection quickly, and see beauty everywhere.

That early rhythm of change became a kind of joyful addiction to “new,” shaping how I approach both life and travel.

Decades later, I’ve woven my background in community development, learning, and well-being with my own wanderlust to create experiences that help women rediscover wonder on their own terms.

Becoming a certified travel coach felt like a natural next step – — a way to translate my passion into purpose and help others design journeys that feel as real and restorative as they are adventurous.

My Travel Truths

Multiple hands with intricate henna designs are placed on a decorative tablecloth in a circle.

Travel is for everyone

Because I’ve seen awe awaken in people of every age and season — proof that adventure doesn’t require permission or perfect timing, only a willingness to say yes.

There is beauty and joy everywhere.

Because I’ve learned that wonder doesn’t wait for the perfect view or a plane ticket; it meets us when we slow down enough to notice what’s right here.

Every Journey is Unique

Because I’ve learned there’s no single “right” way to travel — only your way. The beauty is in our differences, in the stories we swap and the lessons we share along the path. When comparison falls away, connection blooms.

Travelling Means Being a Good Human

Because the more I explore, the more I understand that how we move through the world shapes what we find. Gratitude, respect, and curiosity turn every step into connection.

Let’s leave each place, and each encounter, better than we found it.
