About Me

where the trail meets the sea
where the trail meets the sea

I am a travel advisor specializing in wellness, active, and adventure travel for people who want their vacations to genuinely support their overall well-being. I design trips for travelers who want to maintain or enhance a healthy lifestyle while they’re away, as well as for those who make wellness the primary reason for their travels. Wellness can look different for everyone—sometimes it’s hiking, walking, and staying physically active, and other times it’s slowing down, resting, and finding quiet moments of calm. My goal is to help you create the kind of wellness travel experience that feels right for you, whether that means energizing adventure, peaceful relaxation, or a thoughtful combination of both.

I work with travelers who enjoy staying active, exploring the outdoors, and connecting with the culture and people of the places they visit. I design itineraries that emphasize walking, hiking, nature-based experiences, and cultural immersion, while still including opportunities for restorative time, such as spa visits, thermal baths, yoga, meditation, or simply quiet moments in beautiful surroundings. My clients value experiences that are meaningful and authentic, and I focus on creating trips that feel achievable and rewarding rather than overly extravagant.

I help travelers explore a wide range of wellness experiences, from small-group adventure tours and guided hiking and trekking trips to wellness cruises, yoga and meditation retreats, and destinations known for hot springs, spas, and natural healing. I focus on experiences that support physical fitness, mindfulness, relaxation, sustainable travel, and healthy eating. For me, wellness is about balance—finding ways to nurture body, mind, and spirit through movement, rest, nature, community, and meaningful cultural experiences.I also pay attention to the way wellness travel extends beyond activity, including healthy dining and environmental responsibility. Many of the trips I plan emphasize fresh, high-quality meals, local ingredients, and nutrition-conscious options.

I also seek out providers and destinations that practice sustainability, reduce waste, and protect the natural environments we visit, helping travelers feel good about the impact of their journey.

I know that travelers have different budgets and comfort levels, and wellness travel doesn’t have to be extravagant to be meaningful. While I’m happy to plan luxury experiences when that’s the right fit, my focus is often on thoughtfully designed trips that feel rewarding without being overly costly. I aim to make active and wellness-focused experiences—like hiking, walking tours, culturally immersive itineraries, and restorative retreats—accessible, authentic, and enjoyable for travelers who want adventure, wellness, and connection without unnecessary extras.

If you are looking for a wellness travel advisor, active travel specialist, hiking and walking travel planner, or someone who understands adventure travel with a wellness focus, I would love to work with you. Together, we can create a trip that supports movement, relaxation, exploration, and renewal—so you return home feeling restored, energized, and inspired.

Stress-free travel
Reviewed By Reluctant traveler - Myrtle beach, sc | Traveled to Bermuda ~ Caribbean
I get overwhelmed when traveling and I am not good with apps. Jaime send me color coded copies of everything so I would have all info and know what to expect. She is very organized and communicates well. She even had my favorite wine waiting for me in my room so that I was sure to have a relaxed, stress free trip.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Amazing Getaway thanks to Jaime!
Reviewed By Jennie M. - New York, NY | Traveled to Bermuda ~ Caribbean
The best in thoroughness, communication, and professionalism - would not plan a trip through anyone else! Jaime planned a beautiful trip for myself and my mother and I couldn’t be more thankful for her attention to detail, reminders, and overall thoughtfulness. I’ve never met a travel agent who takes it to the next level like Jaime does. Moving forward I will ONLY book trips through her! Truly setting the bar and made our trip beyond enjoyable and seamless. Thank you Jaime! Can’t wait for the next one :) I would absolutely recommend Jaime to anyone looking to plan a trip without hesitation.

Chasing Views: Hiking for Mind and Body

There’s something transformative about reaching the top of a trail, standing above the world, and pausing to take it all in. Hiking is about movement, yes—but it’s also about perspective, both literally and figuratively. The right view can shift your mind, calm your body, and give space for reflection. Over the years, I’ve discovered some truly ...
