MEET THE TRAVEL ADVISOR

Hi, I’m Traci

Travel advisor, foodie, coffee lover, planning geek, and constant seeker of the places that don’t always make it into the guidebooks.

I believe travel should feel exciting and personal—not overwhelming. I love helping people sort through the options, discover experiences that genuinely fit them, and feel confident about the trip they’re planning.

A LITTLE ABOUT ME

Family, Coastlines & Hidden Gems

My family is my reason for being. I have two adult children, a son-in-law, and the love of my life—all of whom are among my biggest supporters.

I’m an animal lover, a fan of good coffee, and always on the lookout for great local food, interesting experiences, and those unexpected places you may never find by following only the most popular lists.

Those details strongly influence how I travel and how I help others plan. I care about more than where you sleep or which attraction you visit. I think about how the day flows, what’s nearby, where you might want to stop, and what could make the experience feel more personal.

INSPIRED BY TWO COASTS

Maine Charm Meets Florida Sunshine

I split my time between the coast of Maine and Florida’s east coast, which keeps me inspired by two very different—but equally special—ways of traveling.

Coastal Maine

Coastal Maine

Quiet coastal towns, locally loved restaurants, working waterfronts, scenic drives, and the kind of places that reward travelers who slow down and look a little closer.

Florida beach and travel experience

Florida’s East Coast

Beaches, theme parks, day trips, restaurants, wildlife encounters, and plenty of unexpected experiences beyond the places most visitors already know.

A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS

HOW I SEE TRAVEL

Travel Should Feel Personal

I do not believe every traveler needs the same hotel, the same schedule, or the same list of must-do attractions.

Some people want to see everything. Others need a slower pace. Some care most about the room, while others would rather save there and spend more on an unforgettable experience. The best trip is the one that fits the people taking it.
