Meet Emily, your travel planner

Hi, I’m Emily Roessel, a travel advisor specializing in designing custom, curated journeys filled with unforgettable cultural experiences. I work closely with each client to create trips built around your unique interests, travel style, and goals.

I take the time to truly understand each traveler, crafting itineraries with thoughtful details and unique experiences tailored specifically to you. From the first planning conversation through booking, travel, and your return home, I provide guidance and support every step of the way so you can enjoy a seamless, stress-free journey.

While my passion is custom European vacations centered around an interest in history, art, culture, or literature, I’m happy to assist with a wide range of travel needs. As a frequent solo traveler, I’m also passionate about helping other women bring their solo travel dreams to life. As a member of The Wander Network (an affiliate of Travel Leaders Network), I have access to a global network of trusted partners and suppliers to create exceptional travel experiences.

My travels have taken me to Ottawa, where I ice skated along the famous Rideau Canal; to southern France for an immersive French language course; and to Brussels, where I ate too much chocolate (is there such a thing?) and explored the historic battlefield of Waterloo. I believe the most meaningful journeys teach us not only about the world but also about ourselves. When I’m not planning trips, you’ll find me running with my women’s running group 261 Fearless or practicing my French.

Let’s start planning your next dream journey!

“To move, to breathe, to fly, to float,

To gain all while you give,

To roam the roads of lands remote,

To travel is to live.”

– Hans Christian Andersen, The Fairy Tale of My Life: An Autobiography
