My mission is to redefine the attainable bucket list, encourage clients to immerse in slow travel, and bring you back home more fulfilled and empowered with a broader perspective about the world we live in.  I do this with custom travel experiences in the destinations you're dreaming of reaching. Seeking true connection through cultural immersion, ground partner connections, and really really great people.

 I tend to live by Anthony Bourdain's quote--
“Travel is not a reward for working. It is education for living.”

"If you are looking for an exceptional travel agent, Baylee is beyond what you would ever expect or need!
She truly heard all of my hopes and dreams in the planning of my 50th birthday celebration to France & Spain. She asked many questions and suggested lots of wonderful options for me to choose from. She planned everything from our flights, trains and car rentals to our 5* hotels, with exceptional service we’ve never experienced before. She also planned several different “experiences” in each country with private guides. She booked and suggested top notch restaurants to visit and left beautiful welcome notes and gifts in every city we visited as well.… she did everything you could ever imagine."

"Whatever I say won't be as absolutely spectacular as it was! I travel a lot all over the world and never have had an experience like here, with the incredible planning assistance of Baylee Markward!

I went on my first safari as a solo female, and felt I arrived as a guest and left as family... She picked the perfect locations for what I had requested!

A 10 star experience!! Best vacation ever! Totally MAGICAL"

You should absolutely trust any of your vacation needs with Baylee. She has hit the mark with the last two vacations I have planned with her. I do not think I could ever plan another big trip without her.

If you are looking for a travel agent, Baylee is beyond what you would ever expect or need. She heard all my hopes and dreams and truly made it come to life with our itinerary.

Baylee was absolutely amazing to work with! Her communication was timely and organized. Throughout our trip, she didn't miss a beat. She set up our entire schedule which included dinner reservations, spa appointments, and excursions. Baylee even checked in on us while on our trip and booked a last minute excursion for us! I've already recommended her to a few friends who are honeymoon planning.

Our Portugal trip was incredible! I've traveled to a ton of European cities and can say Lisbon is definitely in my Top 3 favorites! Our entire trip was amazing-- everything Baylee planned for us-- from the trains, car transfers, hotels, excursions-- it was all perfect. I told my husband when we landed that there literally was not one glitch during our trip, so I cannot thank her enough for putting it all together for us. This was the first trip in a long time where I hardly even looked at the itinerary. I left it all to Baylee, and it was full of surprises along the way.

I would highly recommend Baylee for all your travel needs! Baylee was with us the entire step of the way, adjusted our itinerary as needed, was super reachable during our trip, and provided us with a dream vacation. Anywhere I travel moving forward that needs even a little coordination Baylee will be my first call.  Our favorite experience was a private boat tour in Algarve, and it was amazing! So many people were on community boat towered - not us!  There was even a snafu with the driving company at the end that - you guessed it, Baylee to the rescue!  Thank you!!

Baylee helped organize a Euro trip for my husband and I's one year anniversary. She did a fantastic job narrowing down which countries/cities to visit based on the limited time we had. She did a great job taking my husband and I's hobbies/interests and making a perfect itinerary. Before finalizing our countries, we were on the fence about whether or not we should visit Berlin. Baylee knew that my husband loves history/WWII and really advocated for us to visit Berlin. Berlin ended up being our favorite city to visit! We are really thankful we had Baylee's input and making our trip truly perfect!

Everything was perfectly planned and exactly the vacation we wanted for our anniversary and birthday trip! I loved both of our hotels & the rooms were amazing at each. We received free breakfast and other goodies which was a nice perk. The tours were great and we loved the one on one with all of the wineries and our driver was so amazing. Baylee even set us up with a special cooking class and birthday lunch. The food was so delicious. Thank you for an amazing vacation!

We had a really great experience with Baylee. Not only did she make one of our dream destinations work within our budget, but every detail of what she planned for us was pretty near perfection. We would definitely use her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to plan a fabulous vacation.
