The Architect of Your Next Escape

About Me

Barrett with long brown hair wearing a cream sweater and a blue patterned scarf, smiling and holding a glass with a pink drink, standing outdoors with urban buildings and plants in the background.

I was born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas, but found my way to the east coast to attend the University of South Carolina (Go Gamecocks... and Longhorns!). Knowing my heart belonged to travel, I dove into the industry immediately after graduation and haven't looked back. I’ve spent the last five-plus years turning that passion into a profession, gaining the hands-on experience and industry connections needed to curate truly unique luxury itineraries.

I currently call Charlotte, NC home, but I work with clients all across the US—from Fort Worth to Charlotte and everywhere in between (and not in between!).

Outside of planning dream trips, I've spent most of my life riding horses competitively. While I shifted my focus to the travel industry a few years ago, I still love to ride whenever I can. In my free time, you'll find me sweating it out in a hot sculpting workout class, spending quality time with my friends and family, or, of course, traveling to my next bucket-list destination.

Values

Intentionality

My goal is to build a lasting relationship by taking the time to truly understand you—your unique travel style, your personality, and your priorities. Every detail I recommend is purposeful, ensuring each journey is intentionally designed to be the perfect reflection of you.

Honesty

Using my industry experience and connections, I’ll be upfront about what will—and won’t—work for your trip. If a destination or activity isn't the right fit for your goals, I’ll tell you why; honesty is the foundation of a true partnership.

Stewardship

I treat your travel investment with the highest level of care, managing your budget cautiously, safely, and with total integrity. You can trust me to be a faithful guardian of your resources, ensuring every dollar is spent wisely to maximize the value of your experience.

Creativity

I love thinking outside the box to design unique, unexpected experiences that bring a sense of wonder back to your travels. By infusing creativity into every itinerary, I make sure that both the planning process and the trip itself are as fun as they are memorable.
