Growing up in a small town outside of Chicago, I was always itching to explore what was “out there.” I got to take my first big trip in the 8th grade, to Italy—and it was an experience I’ll never forget.
I remember looking up at the Colosseum and thinking “holy cannoli!” (yes, I was thinking in Italian pastry terms at this point!). It was so incredible to see ancient history looming over me everywhere I turned, leaving me in awe and making me feel like a tiny piece in a much larger puzzle. It made me realize that, hey, maybe I wasn’t the center of the universe—which is a pretty earth-shattering realization for an 8th grader!

About Alyssa
That first big trip showed me what travel made possible: it opens your eyes, expands your soul, and reveals our common humanity.
Of course, you could travel and never embrace those lessons (by, say, never venturing beyond your hotel’s walls!). That’s why I began planning travel in 2010, to help travelers like you embrace what makes a destination so special—and return home feeling inspired and more deeply connected to the world around you.
I treat every trip I design as if it were my own, and I’m so proud to have cultivated many repeat clients who come to me again and again for their vacations. I’d love to welcome YOU into the Wander to Wonder family too!
When I’m not planning travel, I’m: relaxing with family, rocking out to live music, practicing yoga, or reading snuggled up with my two cats
What’s on my bucket list: Zanzibar (for the beaches!), Egypt (for the pyramids!), Israel (for the food!), and Thailand (for all of it!)
