I am a travel advisor and an educator, with a B.S. in Travel and Tourism and an M.S. in Geography from Brigham Young University. My experience in the travel industry and in teaching university world geography classes at BYU for almost 30 years, gives me an in-depth knowledge of the world that uniquely benefits my clients.

Travel is an invitation waiting for your RSVP. I especially cherish the memories created with family, both as a child and now with my own husband and children. My personal travel goal is to visit all 62 parks of our country’s glorious National Park System.

My love for travel and geography began as a young girl listening to my grandpa, who was a U of U geography professor, talk about geography and travel. I realized then that memories last forever, but toys and gifts get broken and forgotten.

“Go everywhere, eat everything, talk to everyone.” This motto has served me well as I have been able to grow “richer” while spending money on travel! I have traveled with my children and can understand the unique needs you might have. The time spent in learning about new cultures and places is priceless.

As a little girl, I always dreamed of traveling the world. I wanted to see everything. Every nook & cranny; the unbeaten path; the places you didn’t even know that existed. I wanted to learn the culture, try the food, and meet the people. With so much passion for travel. I want to bring you YOUR extraordinary.

“My love of travel is rooted in my love for culture and the desire to explore all that the world has to offer. I hope to use my future degree in hospitality and tourism management to grow my knowledge of the travel industry. I began selling travel to gain real-world career experience and I am absolutely loving it so far!

Travel has been a part of my life since my father adopted me in 1972 from an orphanage in Vientiane, Laos. By the time I was ten, I had traveled to Hawaii, New York, Washington DC, Seattle, San Francisco, Canada, Luxembourg, France,  Spain, Ireland, and throughout our home state of Montana. The experiences I gained through travel as a youth have stayed with me throughout my life. Travel gave me an appreciation for natural beauty, the different cultures I’ve experienced, and the history which shaped the places I’ve visited. And most importantly, it provided me the ability to enjoy the moment. There are times during travel, or even day-to-day life, when you know you will never be at that place and time again and you just take in the atmosphere and enjoy. I have worked as a travel advisor since 2019. My specialization is in family travel. I have designed family vacations for clients to Ireland, Yellowstone National Park, Glacier National Park, Northern California, and Southern California. My wife and I want to pass on our mutual love of travel to our children and provide experiences over possessions.

My international travel love affair started in college when I was able to travel and study throughout Asia, Africa and Europe. My eyes were opened to the magic that happens when you connect with people a world away from you. I was discovering cultures, tastes, sounds and environments, and embracing all that is the same and all that is different in the world. It made me realize just how similar we all are as humans in this world we call home, and it is now my passion to bring these experiences to my clients. Specializing in Antarctic Expeditions and Asian Travel, I love helping my clients experience the world in an experiential, safe, and beautiful way.

When I was younger and people asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I said a ’stewardess’.  I’ve always loved the travel industry.  Now I’m living the dream!  I’ve been traveling the world since I was 12 and now I’m selling travel around the world!

I am not sure how travel became such a love for me. My wife and I have traveled to many wonderful places including: Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Hawaii, Tahiti, the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, Mexico, Honduras, Belize, Costa Rica and Europe.

I feel that I was born with an innate love of travel thanks to my parents. I’m a product of their travel passion and fortunate to have been raised primarily in Europe. I am an avid scuba diver, history buff, and a foodie.

Exploring new destinations, embracing different cultures, immersing yourself in the local cuisine and customs, welcome to the world of travel! Traveling the globe is one of my favorite things to do. I have a goal to travel every inch of the globe and make incredible memories along the way. I’d love to share my passion with you and help you fall in love with traveling as I have, so you can create memories for you and the loved ones in your life.

“Jobs fill your pocket, but adventures fill your soul.” – Jamie Lyn Beatty
I am so thankful for a dad who shared his love of travel with me and taught me that it is through our life’s experiences that we learn and grow the most.  I love helping others book their travel adventures.  My specialities are High Adventure, Disney and Central/ South America Itineraries.  Reach out to me for your next adventure!

I have always had a deep love for traveling our incredible world and experiencing all it has to offer.  My parents were huge advocates for experiencing life, and traveling was a large part of that.  I realized after planning multiple trips for family and friends that I enjoyed, not only the personal travel aspect, but also watching others create moments they never knew could exist!  As a Luxury Travel Designer, I can do this for you!  I have and continue to travel far and wide not only for personal pleasure, but also to be more knowledgeable in all there is to offer you!  My travels have taken me as far north as the Arctic Circle to the most southern place on earth, Antarctica and numerous places in-between, like river cruising through Europe, discovering the splendor of ancient temples in Thailand and sailing through the crystal blue waters of French Polynesia! I would love the opportunity of designing the perfect trip by sending you to the best places this world has to offer.  Safe Travels.

Susan lives part time in Colorado and part time in South Carolina. After a lifetime of professional positions in the travel industry, she has returned to put everything together and curate, luxurious travel experiences with a focus on adventure and wellness. She also hosts some pretty darn unique Literary and Leisure Getaways in the Lowcountry of South Carolina!

Most importantly, I know these experiences have provided me with the expertise to create customized, meaningful, and immersive travel experiences for my clients.

Wellness Retreats and Getaways

Until the age of 20, I had never travelled more than 75 miles from home.  My career afforded me the opportunity to travel to and experience 6 continents and 57 countries.  From 5 star to no star I have traveled and even survived government coups three times.  I even lived in London for 6 years and extensively traveled throughout Europe.  I now get antsy if I stay home too long.  Since my ‘corporate’ retirement I have been and will continue retracing my travels but this time around  in a way business travel never afforded – seeing and experiencing the best from around the world.  My passion is to help others to see all our world has to offer.  Come join me on one of my adventures or let me plan out an unforgettable personalized experience.

I believe travel brings the extraordinary to fruition; whether as extraordinary views, extraordinary adventures, or even extraordinary relaxation. As a physician wife and mother of six, I didn’t have a lot of time early on for other interests and hobbies but still relished any opportunity to plan vacations for my family. Then some years ago, I left practice to be a full time homemaker. That choice freed up time for me to do more in the way of planning travel for myself and my kids as I went with them to their athletic competitions, my husband and I for annual couple getaways, and extended family for special celebrations. By nature I am drawn to the challenge of piecing together a well thought out itinerary that checks all the boxes as far as where and what the desired experience is. The real work comes in determining how that is achieved. I look forward to helping you with that as I now work under the umbrella of Trips and Ships Luxury Travel, I will have so many more resources to tap into as I put together your extraordinary experience!
