Active and Adventure travel is my specialty and passion. I’ve completed the Travel Leaders extensive Active and Adventure travel program and have personally experienced adventure travel myself in both Ireland and Japan. Active and adventure travel can mean different things to different people but to me it can be as simple as immersing yourself in the local culture and giving back to the local community. There are so many different ways to experience adventure travel! There are tour companies that offer experiences that range from being “basic”, luxurious, to completely active tours that will keep you going all day. They specialize in offering accommodations that give back to the local economy, offer real life experiences, and use local guides who can navigate you to the best places to eat. My goal as your adventure travel consultant is to guide you towards the experience that fits for your wants and needs. In my own travel experience, this has been my favorite way to travel! You really get to experience and witness the true culture of each destination you visit.


"It isn't always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts. It even breaks your heart. But that's okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind."-Anthony Bourdain

Adventure Cruising in Glacier Bay

I had an amazing opportunity to travel to Alaska with Uncruise for my honeymoon! This was my first experience on a small ship cruising and it was absolutely wonderful. When I say small, I mean small. The Wilderness Explorer only holds about 66 passengers compared to a large cruise ship that could...Read more.

An experience of a lifetime!
Alyssa took over our booking for our trip to Great Britain a few months before our trip was scheduled. She was extremely communicative, quick to respond to any and all inquiries leading up to, and even during, our trip! She went above and beyond to make sure everything we needed was taken care of. She was even able to book us a VIP Harry Potter Studio Tour package within our preferred time frame with pretty short notice. I would highly recommend her!

If I ever have questions, she is quick to answer - before and even during our trip. If you are wanting a care free vacation - start with a fun and easy planning experience - CALL ALYSSA!

Alyssa is the travel consultant you need & want!
Alyssa was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond to make sure this was a vacation we will always remember. She was very thorough and organized. From planning unforgettable excursions to transportation to lodging, EVERYTHING was taken care of so that we could just enjoy our trip without stress. She was able to take our dream vacation and make it a reality. She answered all of our questions and provided helpful suggestions during the planning process. When an unanticipated family emergency cut our trip a bit short, Alyssa immediately worked (after business hours) to ensure that we were able to get home as soon as possible. I would not hesitate to recommend Alyssa to friends, family, and co-workers...in fact I already have. If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would. She was truly that awesome and I plan on booking another vacation with Alyssa as my travel consultant.
