Hi! My name is Danielle
My love of travel began at an early age, as I grew up in a military family and we lived around the world… my parents took us someplace new almost every weekend, and my sense of adventure only just began.
As I pursued my career in 2007, I developed yet another passion for creating experiences and planning corporate and nonprofit events. It’s at my deepest core to create… I never saw myself as an event planner but discovered my natural ability to create something from nothing… create moments, create experiences, and create connections.
In 2019, I began to blend my two passions… travel and events, and discovered my true calling (yes, I’m in love! ❤) for planning global retreats, offsites, and incentive experiences for teams worldwide.
I live in Boise, ID with my husband Jedidiah and our daughter Joie. I love to be active, enjoy amazing weather outdoors with a glass of wine, and am a big fan of traveling the world!

Hi! I’m Mary.
Born in Spain and raised in a military family, my passion for travel developed during countless road trips across the United States—each one an adventure filled with family connections and exploration, often sans electronics. These experiences have shaped my belief that life is a grand adventure, where navigating its twists and turns is best done by investing in what brings us joy and choosing how we spend our time.
Now calling Meridian, Idaho home, I value time with my family and dog all while exploring the stunning landscapes of Idaho. Whether I’m hiking all the trails, camping under starry skies, or challenging myself with CrossFit, I find joy in every moment. I also enjoy delving into historical fiction novels.
Dream Destinations: The breathtaking Socotra Island in Yemen—where unique landscapes and rich biodiversity await.
