Ever marvel at the authenticity of local cultures and crave genuine connection? If this sounds like your cup to tea, you’ll soon be fast friends with Madeline. An intrepid traveler with a heart for sustainable tourism, she nurtures great passion for exploring exotic and off-the-beaten path destinations, and helping others do the same in an eco-friendly way.

Madeline is known for her can-do approach to the ever-occurring travel puzzles we face, extraordinary eye for detail, and commitment to ecological responsibility.

In her spare time you can find Madeline teeing up for a round of golf, enjoying a great meal with her family, or suiting up in red & black to cheer on her beloved Dawgs on any given Saturday in the fall. A hometown Athens girl to the core, with the heart of a wanderer.

A trip I planned

Alaska, for twelve

Denali · Twelve travelers · Summer 2023

That's my family, in Denali. Twelve of us, summer of 2023, and I planned every piece of it.

Coordinating a whole family is tricky no matter where you're going. Twelve people meant differing summer schedules, arrivals into multiple airports, and making sure every single person got their something special. It was no small undertaking — and the fact that it was my own family didn't make it any easier.

The process is the same one I use for everyone. Understand all the wish lists. Answer all the questions. Support the travelers the whole way through, not just up to the departure date.

The hard work pays off when you get to make lasting memories.
