Tracy here!
I'm Tracy, and my happy place is anywhere I'm exploring – whether it's a new corner of the globe or a hidden gem in my own neighborhood. For me, travel isn't about racking up passport stamps nor ticking things off a bucketlist; it's about igniting that inner spark of curiosity and experiencing the world with a sense of wonder.
I believe that life is an adventure waiting to happen, and travel, in all its forms, is a fantastic way to embrace that playful spirit. It's a chance to connect – with new places, new experiences, new people, and with the most important person of all: yourself.
As a certified travel coach, I help women sprinkle a little wonder and awe into their lives through joyful exploration. I'm not here to tell you how to travel or what to think or do; I'm here to support, inspire, guide, and/or cheerlead to help you design adventures that light you up from the inside out.
“We travel, initially, to lose ourselves; and we travel next, to find ourselves.” ~ Pico Iyer
Why this is my passion
My love for exploration started early. Growing up as a "base brat" (moving 12 times before graduation!), I learned to adapt, find the positive everywhere, and embrace new experiences. It was like a joyful addiction to "new," and it shaped who I am today.
Decades later, I've combined my background in community development, learning, and well-being with my own wanderlust to create tools and initiatives that help women experience the joy of intentional travel. Becoming a certified travel coach felt like a natural next step – a way to share my passion and empower others to create their own adventures.
My Travel Truths
1. Travel is for everyone.
The world is a wonder to explore! Whether you're dreaming of a big trip or exploring your local park, the spirit of adventure is available to us all.
I believe travel is a shared human experience, and I'm excited to connect with others who are passionate about exploring the world, in whatever way feels right for them.
2. There is joy and beauty everywhere.
We don't need to go far or spend a fortune to experience the wonder and awe of travel. It's about perspective and intention. Let's celebrate the beauty in our everyday lives, wherever we are.
3. Every Journey is Unique
There's no "right" way to travel. Let's celebrate our differences, share our stories, and learn from each other's experiences – no judgment, no competition, just joyful connection.
4. Traveling Means Being a Good Human.
Let's travel with intention, considering our impact on the places we visit and the people we meet. Let's strive to leave the world a little better than we found it.
Let’s live everyday like it is a trip of a lifetime and embrace a purposeful life with the awe & wonder of a traveller.
