About Memento Mori Travels

A travel advisor near Austin, TX who plans trips with care

Travel should give you something to look forward to, not another list of decisions to manage.

I’m the travel advisor behind Memento Mori Travels, based just outside Austin, Texas. I help travelers plan personalized dream vacations, relaxing getaways, meaningful staycations, and experiences around the world.

Why I started Memento Mori Travels

My love of travel began with the international trips my parents took me on as a child. But it truly grew during college, when I had more opportunities to see the world, meet people from different backgrounds, and learn about other cultures.

Travel has always felt like more than checking destinations off a list. It’s about the people you meet, the meals you remember, the stories you bring home, and the perspective you gain along the way.

For more than a decade, I worked as a high school teacher. During school breaks and summers, my husband and I traveled whenever we could. Those experiences deepened my appreciation for thoughtful travel planning and showed me how much the right details can shape an entire trip.

Memento Mori Travels grew from that love of discovery and a simple belief: You deserve a travel experience planned around your life, your priorities, and the way you want to feel while you’re away.

Personalized travel planning from start to finish

When you work with Memento Mori Travels, you don’t have to figure out every travel detail alone.

I provide custom travel planning and bespoke itineraries for travelers who want a trip that feels personal rather than generic. Whether you’re planning an international vacation, a family getaway, a relaxing retreat, a celebration, or a local staycation, I’ll help bring the right pieces together.

I also offer complimentary hotel booking, helping you find accommodations that fit your destination, preferences, and travel style.

My support extends beyond the initial booking. I work with you before your trip, remain available while you travel, and continue to care about your experience after you return home. That’s the thoughtful, white-glove travel service you deserve.

Accessible travel planning with your needs in mind

As a Fora Accessibility Specialist, I’m passionate about helping travelers with different needs feel more comfortable, prepared, and supported.

Accessible travel planning may include considering:

  • Mobility needs
  • Neurodivergence
  • Dietary restrictions
  • Sensory preferences
  • Communication needs
  • Other personal considerations that affect your comfort and safety

I communicate directly with hotels, destination management companies, and other travel partners on your behalf. My goal is to help make sure your needs are clearly understood so your trip can be safe, comfortable, and enjoyable.

Every traveler deserves to feel confident while planning and traveling. Thoughtful preparation can make a meaningful difference, and I’m here to help you take that next step.

A travel advisor, teacher, and lifelong learner

I’ve visited more than 25 countries and 10 national parks, and I’m working toward visiting all 50 states. There are still a few destinations left to explore, so my own travel list is always growing.

My favorite travel companions are my husband and our wonderful son. When I’m home near Austin, you’ll usually find my black pug, Artoo Dogtoo, close by. He’s essentially my four-legged shadow.

My background as an educator also shapes the way I work. I listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, explain details clearly, and stay organized when a trip has many moving parts.

Most of all, I understand that every traveler has a different reason for going. Maybe you want to celebrate something important. Maybe you need a break from the everyday. Maybe you’re ready to see more of the world but aren’t sure where to begin. Wherever you’re starting, I’m here to help.

Travel planning that feels personal

There is no one-size-fits-all way to travel, and there shouldn’t be.

Your itinerary should reflect what matters to you: your pace, your interests, your comfort, your priorities, and the memories you want to make.

At Memento Mori Travels, I take the time to understand those details and turn them into a travel experience that feels thoughtful from beginning to end.

Whether you’re looking for a travel advisor near Austin, custom itinerary planning, complimentary hotel booking, or accessibility-focused travel support, you deserve a partner who sees the whole picture.
