What's on your Bucket List?

You know that travel list you have been creating in your mind? I would love to help you make those travel dreams and experiences come true! Although the World feels a little smaller right now we all know it won't be that way forever! There’s a whole world out there to be explored, and I want to help you plan the perfect, once-in-a-lifetime trip of your dreams! Right now, South Africa is the number one destination on my own list. It’s time to create incredible memories to pass down to your family and share that sense of wonder every great traveler has! But where will your vacation take you? Bring me your ideas and dreams and we will work together to create an extraordinary trip full of firsts!


In my 40+ years as a travel advisor, I have helped countless travelers realize their greatest travel dreams! In my own recent travels, I had the opportunity to travel through Spain, following the route of Ernest Hemingway and a river cruise through France to Paris! Or maybe Quebec and Montreal to walk the streets described so beautifully in the Louise Penny books! Whether it's specific destinations; Venice, Paris, Tokyo, specific landmarks; Stonehenge, Christ the Redeemer, Machu Picchu, The Brandenburg Gate, or simply activities; skydiving, mountain climbing, scuba diving, I will help you create the perfect itinerary to check them off your bucket list!

Meridith is the best. Great attention to detail, whether it's a complicated family trip or standard business travel. She also finds the interesting places to stay, fun things to do, and reviews from other travelers. Meridith is fantastic, and we greatly appreciate the 20 years worth of great work.

Amazing trip!
Meridith was amazing to work with planning our first family trip overseas! She made a few suggestions that I declined, and now that I’ve made the trip, I wish we would have taken her advice. Although our trip was fabulous, from fantastic accommodations to coordinated transportation, if we did it again, I would take her recommendations to take the train to more cities to expand our experience. I highly recommend Meridith for your travel needs. She was great!!
