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 from a simple belief: that travel should feel supportive, unhurried, and deeply personal. Not rushed. Not overwhelming. And never one-size-fits-all. As a travel advisor, I help clients plan cruises, island escapes, and meaningful journeys with care, clarity, and respect for time.
I plan travel the way I live — with care, curiosity, and respect for time. Whether that means moving gently through Hawaiʻi’s islands, exploring Alaska’s quiet grandeur, or designing a cruise that truly allows you to rest, my goal is always the same: to help you experience travel that feels aligned with who you are and where you are in life.
I don’t start with destinations — I start with people.
Before any itinerary takes shape, I take time to understand how you want to feel while you’re away. Rested. Curious. Connected. Inspired. From there, I thoughtfully shape the details — pacing, accommodations, transitions, and experiences — so everything flows naturally.
I focus on:
Travel that feels balanced, not packed
Seamless logistics that remove stress
Thoughtful pacing that leaves room to linger
Unique stays and experiences that feel intentional
Planning should feel supportive, not overwhelming — and you should never feel rushed through the process.
How I plan travel
WildKind is about choosing travel that honors your time, energy, and curiosity.
It’s for travelers who value meaning over momentum — who want their trips to feel considered, not chaotic. Whether you’re celebrating something special or simply carving out space to slow down, I’m here to guide the process with care and clarity.
I work best with travelers who appreciate:
Thoughtful planning
Clear communication
A calm, collaborative approach
Travel that feels personal — not templated
Why WildKind
Why WildKind
Travel, lived
I plan travel the same way I travel myself — with intention, flexibility, and room to truly experience a place.
Spending three weeks traveling through Europe reminded me how powerful thoughtful pacing can be. We began in Barcelona, allowing ourselves time to settle in — wandering neighborhoods, finding local spots, and even stumbling upon a rooftop concert that felt completely unexpected. From there, a short cruise along the Spanish coast created a natural transition before continuing on to Greece.
In Santorini, we experienced the island from different perspectives — staying first in a traditional cave home in the heart of Fira, then slowing down further in a quiet beach town where daily life unfolded around us, fish market and all. Those unscripted moments — traditional dancing, conversations with locals, mornings without plans — became some of the most memorable.
Italy followed with the same intentional flow. After time in Rome, a private drive along the coast brought us to Positano, where days were spent walking the streets, lingering over espresso, and exploring the Amalfi Coast by ferry. Instead of rushing north, we let the journey continue gently — a train to Milan, an overnight sleeper train to Paris, and one final day taking in the city before heading home.
What made the experience special wasn’t just the destinations, but how seamlessly everything moved. Flights, ferries, trains, and accommodations all worked together in a way that felt natural and unhurried. It was a reminder that when travel is thoughtfully planned, there’s space to be present — and those are the moments that stay with you long after the trip ends.

a few things about me
I’ve lived in Alaska, Hawaii, and SanPedro, Belize — places that taught me how much pace and environment shape how we feel.
I’m always drawn to water, long walks, and places where time slows down.
I believe the best travel plans leave room for quiet moments and unexpected joy.
I’ll almost always choose a scenic route over the fastest one.
Sunset dinners are non-negotiable.
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.
