spreading kindness through travel.
my mission
my mission
to inspire Travel, thoughtfully lived
I’m Stephanie
— and I believe the best trips begin with intention, not urgency.
WildKind Travel was created for travelers who want personal guidance, a calmer planning experience, and journeys designed around how they truly want to spend their time.
Having lived in Alaska, Hawaiʻi, and Belize, I bring firsthand destination experience—and a genuine appreciation for the places, people, and small moments that make travel memorable.
I start with you, not the destination.
Before I recommend an itinerary, I want to understand your pace, priorities, travel style, and what you want the trip to feel like. From there, I shape the accommodations, experiences, and logistics so the journey feels natural rather than overplanned.
I focus on:
Thoughtful recommendations
Clear communication
Balanced itineraries
Seamless logistics
Personal support throughout the process
Planning should feel supportive, not overwhelming — and you should never feel rushed through the process.
How I plan travel
Travel, lived
I plan travel the same way I travel myself — with intention, flexibility, and room to truly experience a place.
A recent three-week journey through Spain, Greece, Italy, and France reinforced everything I believe about thoughtful travel. Instead of trying to see everything, we allowed each part of the trip to unfold at its own pace—from neighborhood walks in Barcelona and quiet mornings in Santorini to ferries along the Amalfi Coast and an overnight train to Paris.
What stayed with me was not how many places we visited, but how naturally the journey flowed. Thoughtful planning created room for spontaneous moments, local connections, and the freedom to be present.
That is the kind of travel I want to create for my clients.

a few things about me
I have lived in Alaska, Hawaiʻi, and San Pedro, Belize.
I would happily live in a balcony cabin on a cruise ship.
I’m a proud Yia-Yia—and family travel has a very special place in my heart.
Bon Jovi superfan is probably a more accurate description than “fan.”
I will almost always choose the scenic route.
If you’re drawn to travel that feels thoughtful, unrushed, and personal, I’d love to help you plan what comes next.
You don’t need to have all the answers — just a sense that it’s time to step away and experience something meaningful.
