Costa Rica is pura vida in motion and I will be there in May to get the in-person scoop for you! I’m talking rainforest hikes, volcanic views and wildlife you won’t believe!

Ready for an adventure that’s good for the soul (and the planet)?

A haven for biodiversity, weird and wonderful wildlife, and something the locals call ‘pura vida’…

Not just a trip. A journey.

When you think about exploring Asia… what comes to mind?

Is it the energy of the cities, the stillness of the mountains, the colors, the flavors, the culture?

For me, destinations like Thailand, Vietnam, and Japan have been sitting on my heart lately — not just as places to visit, but as experiences I want to bring to life in a really intentional way.

Because the truth is… travel like this can feel very overwhelming to plan on your own. There is so much to see, do, and navigate.

That is exactly why I am building curated, hosted journeys around the globe; making your dreams trips more accessible.

The kind where everything flows.
Where you are guided, not rushed.
Where you can fully experience the destination; the food, the culture, the moments — without the stress of figuring it all out on your own.

Whether you come solo or with someone you love, these trips are about connection…
to the place, to the experience, and honestly, to yourself.

✨ I am currently curating my 2027/2028 Kindred Crane journeys…and Asia is at the top of that list.

Stay close. This is going to be something really special.

This fall, I am heading to Ireland with my son to celebrate his 21st birthday properly, and finally experience the motherland first hand so I can plan the most memorable trips for my clients.

A few plans in mind for this 10-day itinerary:
• Oyster farms and seafood straight from the coast (of course)!
•Seaweed soaks and fresh Celtic Sea air
• Pubs, pubs and more pubs with live trad music and stories you have to be there to believe
• Michelin and cottage dining, and hidden local gems with Irish delicacies, local grub, and late night snacks
•Cliffs, parks, and forests full of life
• Trains, buses, and exploring -no rental car, just real travel and backpacks!

We already have our Leap cards in hand, ready to land and go, because the small details matter. These are the exact things I research and prepare for my clients so their trips feel seamless, not stressful.

This trip is part celebration, part research… because beginning in 2027, I will be hosting curated Ireland and other destination experiences designed around culture, cuisine, and connection. The Kindred Crane way! Adult only: Solo travelers, couples, friends, and family; hosted trips with me will allow you to experience bucket list travel with ease and intention.

If Ireland has been on your list -this is your sign!

☘️Slainte’!

📍Charleston, South Carolina 🥂🦪🍗

Champagne, oysters, and fried chicken. Honestly, not much could make this combo better… except their incredible French scalloped potatoes. Holy smokes!

The flavor, the freshness, the vibes; immaculate. ✨

Set inside a converted old body shop, Leon’s has that effortlessly cool Charleston energy: laid-back, a little retro, and absolutely delicious. It is no surprise this spot earned a MICHELIN Bib Gourmand, celebrating restaurants that deliver exceptional food at a great value.

If Charleston is on your travel list, this one is a must!

Charleston, South Carolina ✨

Walking down Rainbow Row, where the colors and architecture are vibrant and rich with history and charm. Every house feels like a little piece of art; pastel facades, wrought iron details, and stories that date back centuries (the good bad and ugly).

If you are a history buff, architecture lover, or simply enjoy that timeless “old money” vibe, Charleston is a dream. It is the kind of place where you slow down, wander the streets and take a beat to enjoy just being.

For travelers who love culture, design, incredible food, and a sense of wonder… Charleston delivers every time.

📍 Charleston, South Carolina
✨Crane tip: Take the city trolley on the first day to acquaint yourself and plan your next move. They do an excellent job!

I have been on the move, traveling for almost three months straight, and loving every minute of it! From catching early morning flights and running to connections, to touring the best resorts, meeting incredible people, exploring, and squeezing in recovery time when I get sick in between, and then doing it all over again… it’s been a whirlwind, and I’m so grateful! 💙 ✈️ 🏃🏼‍♀️

Now it’s time to take a beat, book all of your trips, detox, spend time with family, catch up on resort reviews, editing, posting, and more! 🫶🏼👩🏼‍💻

Thank you for the likes, messages, bookings and referrals! 🌍 🧳

🌚Was going to bed and heard a beeping noise. I went outside to see it was actually workers whistling in pattern. 🤔 I’m sure it’s something to do with a local bird? 🐦 I’ll find out why tomorrow. Does anyone have a guess? Caribbean FamTrips
