About Me

Hello, my name is Tiffany McClain and I travel in pursuit of ancient cities, breathtaking landscapes, and the history of the African diaspora. (And wine is always a welcome addition to the itinerary.)

I have lived in every region of the continental United States including Alaska and I recently returned from two years living in France. I have visited every continent except Antarctica. And I have a well-rehearsed lecture on the benefits of the two-week vacation, which I deliver frequently whether you ask for it or not.

Whether I’m exploring my own city or flying across the world, I love to travel. And for me, the excitement doesn’t begin at the airport but the moment I start researching the trip. Over the years, I’ve learned that not everyone enjoys creating spreadsheets to narrow down the best hammam in Marrakesh, making custom Google maps for their trip to Paris, or prioritizing which booths to visit at the rosé festival. You just want someone to tell you where to go and when to be there.

I started this travel advising service to help create unforgettable travel memories for you and your loved ones by taking the effort and stress out of the planning process. I feel this same level of excitement when I’m planning for others as I do when I’m planning for myself. I love facilitating experiences of a lifetime and feeling like I’m a small part of the personal discoveries and transformations that happen as a result.

I look forward to working with you.

My Values

In my other professional life, I am a consultant and practitioner of equity, diversity, and inclusion. I aim to promote travel experiences and create itineraries that reflect these principles by:

  • Supporting locally and BIPOC-owned tour companies and businesses when possible

  • Researching and recommending tours that honor the stories and perspectives of minorities, women, and indigenous residents of the communities you visit

  • Advising clients to make decisions and experience places in ways that minimize harm to people, the earth, and other living creatures.

I am not making an argument for perfectionism or purity. I’m not sure they exist when it comes to travel or anything else. Trade-offs are inevitable. But I am suggesting that social responsibility in the form of conscientious decision-making is a small price to pay for the privilege of being able to roam freely around the world.
