Maria Regis

Maria grew up in the same Maryland house from the age of eighteen months to eighteen years old. She always wanted to get out and explore; in fact, she begged her parents to move several times growing up so she could experience living in a new location; however, they stayed put. So by the time she was looking at colleges, she was ready to spread her wings and decided the University of Washington in Seattle was a good spot to land.

In 2013, she graduated with a degree in Biology and was commissioned as an Officer in the United States Navy. After graduation, she attended Navy flight school and spent the next 10 years flying helicopters around the world. She was stationed in Japan for 3 years, during which she explored Asia and the Pacific with her husband. Since then, she has been all over the world covering all seven continents!

In 2022, she made the difficult decision to leave active duty, but she is still flying helicopters in the reserves. She has decided to turn her passion for travel into her professional focus.

When she prepares for a trip, she loves to do extensive research to ensure she doesn't miss a thing, including the best places to eat. If you look at her Google Maps, it is filled with Google Pins from word-of-mouth recommendations to places she stumbled upon. She likes to have options when she's wandering around a new destination. She also loves a variety in her travels, from intrepid experiences to relaxing romantic getaways with her husband. She has traveled the world and would love to share her expertise to help you plan your next trip!
