Spending hours sifting through endless travel choices, unsure which ones are best for you.
Struggling to coordinate flights, accommodations, and activities into a cohesive plan.
Missing out on hidden gems and authentic experiences because guidebooks only cover the basics.
Feeling stressed about overlooked details that need handling right before departure.
Not sure if your planned activities flow well or maximize your time in each destination.
Facing unexpected issues on the trip with no expert support to turn to.
End up with a “generic” vacation because you couldn’t find options that match your style and interests.

Meet Heather McGranahan
My happy place is being surrounded by books which is evident given that my office shelves are overflowing and I spend most of my time there. I’m a full chalant Virgo who has no chill and doesn’t know how to be casual about anything. I dive headfirst into all of my hobbies and fully embody being a jack of all trades. I live in Indiana with my amazing husband and our three dogs. Any conversation with me will most likely involve Taylor Swift lyrics and movie quotes. If I’m not at home or the bookstore, you can probably find me wandering through an antique store trying to convince my husband we need that vintage library catalog cabinet that quite obviously won’t fit anywhere in our house.
