Founder
Meridian Boutique Travel Co.Founder
Jan. 2022Portland, Oregon, United StatesI founded Meridian Boutique Travel to offer a more soulful, story-driven approach to travel. From curated group tours to peronalized private itineraries, I design experiences that go beyond the checklist—centered on cultural immersion, regenerative values, and local connection. What I bring: • Expertise in experiential travel, boutique travel planning, and end-to-end itinerary design across Japan, Mexico, Portugal, and the Pacific Northwest. • A regenerative lens that prioritizes sustainability, creative exchange, and meaningful human connection. • Distinctive brand storytelling that translates across platforms from newsletter to social —and builds a loyal, values-aligned audience. • Robust content leadership: from editorial direction and copywriting to email marketing, content strategy, and community building. • Co-creation with local chefs, artists, and guides to foster place-based experiences that benefit both travelers and host communities.
