Travel Environs

I’ve been dabbling in the travel advisor business for about three years, but have been sitting on really going for it for any number of reasons. Last week, I discovered something that I’m taking as a sign it’s time.

While thinking of ways to up my game for 2026, I pulled up my old WordPress account to see if my au pair blog skills from 2014 could transfer to building a website. The answer is what you see here (for now)… but more importantly, but sitting there in my account was a second, unpublished blog with travel tips and advice for Americans traveling in Europe, based on my experiences living in France and traveling through Western Europe.

I need to emphasize that I had completely forgotten about this second blog. Two days in January 2015. I brain-dumped all of my perspectives and tips on how to travel thoughtfully through Western Europe. Design choices aside, even the color palette is similar to the one I created for Environs. Here it was, this little seed of a dream to help people travel. An idea that percolated and evolved in the back of my mind until I finally felt ready to make that dream a reality. 

The perspective I had back in 2015 isn’t much different from the one I bring to travel advising today. The only difference is that I now have the tools and experience to make it a reality. 

So, welcome to Environs. I can’t wait to help you create experiences that help you connect to yourself and the world through travel.
