why live local travel far

I firmly believe everyone has a brand, whether you choose to make it into something or not. It’s what you are passionate about, what people think of when they think of you. All of our brands evolve, and some completely change. I developed “Live Local Travel Far” as an Instagram handle after selling my beloved “ten percent happier.” The idea at the time was my love of supporting local businesses, including the spa I owned, while still loving to travel. There was a period I mixed in my love of meditation, the metaphysical and the universal experience. When I was given the opportunity to work in travel, I knew this was where I was meant to go in my next chapter.

Living local is about truly experiencing where you live. It’s about going to the local coffee shop, a family-owned restaurant, or a small boutique. It’s about playing tourist in your own town, checking out a show, tour, or sporting event—whatever your neighborhood or city has to offer.

Traveling far is about getting outside your comfort zone. It’s hopping on a plane and immersing yourself in a new land and culture, whether you prefer to hang out on a beach, eat at every local cafe, or go on some wild, thrill-seeking adventure.

Whether you are looking for tickets to the latest comedy show, go on an excursion with a sherpa or are ready to put together a group cruise for a milestone, my passion is helping people put together experiences that will give them memories for a lifetime.
