About Me

My passion for travel began at just 11 years old when I joined my first international group trip to Australia, an experience that sparked a lifelong love for adventure and discovery. Stepping far outside my comfort zone at such a young age taught me the magic of exploring the world hands-on, and I’ve been chasing that feeling ever since.

I turned that passion into purpose by earning a degree in international studies with a focus on tourism, and today I specialize in designing adventure-driven journeys that balance excitement, authenticity, and seamless logistics. From rugged landscapes and outdoor experiences to immersive cultural moments, I thrive on crafting trips that leave travelers with unforgettable stories and a deep connection to the places they explore.

I’ve had the opportunity to live in Spain and travel extensively throughout Europe, the Caribbean, Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. Each destination, from alpine villages and coastal cliffs to deserts and vibrant cities, has shaped my understanding of what makes an adventure truly meaningful.Whether you’re hiking through New Zealand’s dramatic scenery, exploring historic cities on foot, or chasing your next adrenaline rush somewhere new, I’m here to turn your adventurous travel goals into reality. Let’s plan a journey that inspires, challenges, and stays with you long after you return home.

This is the first time we've traveled with a group. We were very pleased with the experience and thoughtfulness of our travel agent, Emilie. This trip topped all others and was so very well organized. We will definitely consider small group trips again.

Anniversary in Costa Rica
Reviewed By Emily S - Springfield, MO | Traveled to Costa Rica | Central America
My husband and I worked with 1st Class Travel to plan our 5-year anniversary trip to Costa Rica. Emilie assisted us in every step of the way and curated the perfect, individualized get-away for us to celebrate! The flights, accommodations, activities/tours, all well-researched and especially selected for us to make the most of our budget while also ensuring we experienced everything on our bucket list! We highly recommend Emilie and 1st Class Travel to plan any trip you might wish to take.
