EXPERIENCE
3 Years
Born and raised in Annapolis, Teresa has always been drawn to discovering somewhere new, whether that meant wandering a city, finding the perfect tucked-away restaurant, or simply learning how people live differently around the world. What started as a love of travel eventually became a life shaped by it.
In 2014, she spent several months in Nakuru, Kenya, working in a children’s home. This experience sparked a nearly decade-long career in nonprofit operations and taught her that care, connection, and thoughtful attention to detail shaped everything. Her husband’s time as a Navy pilot later took them from Tokyo to cities along the East Coast. They left the U.S. with no children and returned from Japan with two, which Teresa still considers her best travel story to date.
When she transitioned into the travel industry in 2022, she quickly realized that thoughtful travel can be just as meaningful as her previous work. Today, Teresa designs trips that feel personal, seamlessly executed, and deeply connected to a place. Focusing on balancing beautiful hotels and unforgettable meals with the kind of cultural texture that makes a trip stay with you long after you unpack.
