About

Hi, I’m Elizabeth, the planner and heart behind WanderOut Travel. I help families, couples, and groups design thoughtful, low-stress trips so you can focus on enjoying the experience, not managing the details.

Some businesses start with a five-year plan.
Mine started on vacation with friends.

A few years ago, my husband and I were away for a relaxing weekend trip. Like we always do, we were talking about where to go next, swapping ideas, dreaming up future adventures together.

At one point someone laughed and said,
“You know… you’d actually make a great travel agent.”

Everyone nodded.

And honestly… they weren’t wrong.

I’ve always been the planner.
The researcher.
The spreadsheet nerd.
The one who actually enjoys figuring out the details.

So I looked into it.

And before long, helping friends plan trips turned into helping everyone plan trips.

What surprised me most was how natural it felt.

Why I do this

So many people say,
“We can’t afford to travel.”

I gently disagree.

With the right timing, smart choices, and thoughtful planning, dream trips are often much more possible than people think. I love taking someone’s “maybe someday” and turning it into “we’re booked.”

Because for a lot of families, vacations aren’t just vacations.
They’re core memories.

Sometimes you only get a handful of those big trips in your lifetime. I want them to be right.

Not stressful.
Not disappointing.
Not “we should have known.”

Just smooth, easy, and full of good moments.

What it’s like to work with me

I’m not salesy.
I’m not pushy.
And you’ll never feel like you’re talking to a call center.

Working with me feels more like chatting with a friend who just happens to know way too much about travel logistics.

I want you to feel:
• comfortable
• open
• honest
• heard

Tell me everything. Your budget worries, your dream ideas, your “I hate crowds,” your “I just want to relax.” The more I know, the better I can design something that truly fits you.

(And yes… there will probably be a spreadsheet involved. I can’t help myself.)

My travel style

Personally, I’m drawn to:
• nature
• off-the-beaten-path places
• quieter experiences
• and cruises where I don’t have to lift a finger

With a busy family life, there’s something magical about unpacking once and just enjoying the moment.

My husband grew up road-tripping, camping, and exploring the U.S. with his family, and those simple, memory-filled trips shaped how we travel today. Less rushing. More experiencing.

That’s the energy I try to bring to every itinerary I build.

A little extra honesty

I love research a little too much.

Give me a destination and I’ll happily tumble down a rabbit hole learning everything about it. Flights, routes, neighborhoods, hidden gems, better options.

So if I ask a lot of questions… that’s why.

The more details you share, the more perfectly tailored your trip becomes.

My promise

When you work with me, I treat your vacation like it’s my own family’s.

Carefully planned. Thoughtfully budgeted. No unnecessary stress.

So you can wander out into the world… and simply enjoy being there.
