ABOUT
HILARY
My childhood experiences fueled my love for travel—from spending ample time throughout New England, opting to take an Art History and Culture centered trip all throughout Europe in High School, and spending a month on a sailboat in the Caribbean instead of “being a kid”- I learned early on in life that the value of experiences through travel goes far beyond the tangible, and anything learned in the classroom.
After graduating from The University of Georgia, having taken advantage of spending summers in Los Angeles, The Cannes Film Festival, Oxford University, and backpacking throughout Europe - I found myself in the Advertising space, with a focus on travel media. After many years spent in the advertising industry, I decided to take my contacts from the travel industry and passion for travel in a different direction. Nearly 6 years later there has been no looking back!

ABOUT
INDIA
Running a fitness studio over the last few years has sparked my love for leading people to a happier and healthier life. I grew up traveling all over the world due to my dad’s career with the Olympics and was able to see the beauty of the world and all of the different cultures that give you an entirely new perspective on life. These experiences led me to the understanding that seeing the world adds extreme value to your life.
Over the last few years, I have traveled about once a month; whether I am taking a short weekend trip or going overseas. After going to Italy last Spring, I wanted to plan a trip for my family to go to South Africa. This is when I began working with Hilary to start the planning process. Through this experience, I realized the love I have for travel planning, and it was my dream come true to begin cultivating experiences for other people to see the world in a seamless way.
