My story
I’m Chels, your friendly, travel-obsessed redhead with a habit of packing up on a whim and kissing my loved ones goodbye. For 10+ years I’ve been bouncing around the globe and I love the opportunities that travel can bring, there’s rarely a dull moment. My experiences, (mis)adventures and time living abroad have left me with gorgeous core memories that I still smile at, and I can’t wait to create that for you!
✨My goal?
Send you on a trip so incredible that your grandkids will be begging you for a story time in the nursing home.
I’m a type A planner who loves a good challenge, meaning when I’m in planning mode I deep dive into rabbit holes to find all the suitable options (because who doesn’t love a choice). I also consider those small, sometimes forgotten details. There’s been too many days when I found myself in an oh shit moment because something I’d overlooked just became a panic-inducing buzzkill of a problem to solve.
I completely understand that one person's dream vacation is another's nightmare, so with me there is no such thing as a cookie cutter itinerary. Half of the fun is playing 100 questions on that initial call and getting crystal clear on exactly what your vision is for the trip. Want to dance your way through Ibiza? Hike the Camino de Santiago? Amazing, leave the practical, research side of it to me while you go online shopping for new outfits.
Fun facts in case we’ve
not met before.
Fav city?
New York
I grew up dreaming about the big apple and it was my first location when I travelled alone. I spent my first three days overwhelmed but mesmerised by the sights, sounds and face-slapping heat in the subway. Let's be clear, I could never live there but hell yes I would go back tomorrow.
Travel Must have?
An airtag in my luggage
Ever since my clothes came off the conveyor belt in a plastic bag courtesy of the baggage handlers in Calgary I have, what I deem understandable, trust issues.
My go-to souvenir?
I have 36 keychains collecting dust in my room All the plans but never gotten around to making something cute out of them. Next trip though, I’m taking a notebook to collect written memories from the people I meet around the world because at heart I’m just a sentimental, soft being.
My dream destination?
Hiking in the Italian dolomites. The urge to rent a cabin in the mountains with a group of friends, go on breathtaking walks and eat pizza until I have to size up in hiking pants is oh so strong. Manifesting for 2027!
How my friends label me?
