Let's Plan Your Next Trip!
Why Choose a Responsible Travel Advisor?
So you want to travel but hate planning all the logistics?
I will take care of the research and planning for you! Working with a dedicated responsible travel advisor ensures your adventures align with your values while creating unforgettable experiences. Rather than embracing a “ticking it off your bucket list” mentality that treats destinations as commodities, we’ll focus on creating communal and deeper experiences.
- Sustainable Exploration: Travel that respects local environments, cultures, and communities while minimizing ecological footprint
- Authentic Connections: Genuine cultural exchanges that benefit both travelers and locals
- Ethical Choices: Carefully vetted accommodations, activities, and partners that uphold responsible tourism standards
- Personalized Journeys: Custom itineraries tailored to your specific interests, values, and budget
Erica is one of the most well-traveled and environmentally-conscious people I know. Her itineraries are thoughtful, inspiring, and tailored to your needs; highlighting hidden gems, local businesses, and unique routes. Every recommendation she gave me was spot-on and elevated my trip well beyond what I could have planned myself. I cannot recommend her enough! – Chelsea, Road Trip in Montana

What to Expect: The Travel Planning Process
My collaborative approach ensures your journey reflects both your travel dreams and responsible tourism principles:
1. Discovery Consultation | 15 Minute Meeting
When booking a time, you’ll be prompted to complete a few questions so I can better understand your budget, travel goals, and other pertinent details.
2. Custom Proposal Development
- Personalized itinerary: Crafting a journey that balances your wishlist with responsible options
- Ethical accommodations: Selecting lodging that supports local communities and minimizes environmental impact
- Meaningful activities: Recommending experiences that create authentic connections
- Transparent information: Providing clear details about the impact of each travel choice
3. Refinement & Booking
- Collaborative adjustments: Fine-tuning your itinerary based on feedback (1 round of review and additional research may incur a charge)
- Pre-departure support: Comprehensive guidance for responsible packing and cultural preparation. For privacy reasons, I do NOT book travel logistics on your behalf—I only provide suggestions. This service does not include 24/7 support during your trip.
5. Post-Travel Reflection
Sharing the positive influence of your travel choices and hearing feedback from your experiences to enhance future journeys
