Outside the Lines Travel

Our clients know that a great trip starts way before they leave their home.

A lot of what makes the difference between a stressful trip and an unforgettable one comes down to the decisions made before anything is even booked.

The destination, the timing, the hotel/resort, the cruise line, the room category, the flight schedule, the activities... these details shape the entire experience more than most people realize until something goes wrong.

Find a travel pro with experience who cares about helping you make the decisions that fit your personal travel style and budget.

Took advantage of the beautiful (and rare!) Western PA weather on an early summer Saturday at Ohiopyle State Park. A picnic by the waterfalls, 7 mile bike ride along the GAP (Great Allegheny Passage) trail to see Sugar Run Falls, browsing the vendors at the Spirit of the River Wine & Arts Festival, then local beer and outdoor dinner in our favorite Ohiopyle restaurant.

One year ago I was in a field in Lithuania watching our hot air balloon be filled. To this day, it is my number one travel experience🎈

Tonya and her group of fellow pilgrims are on their way! They're walking part of the Camino de Santiago in Portugal. We love watching our groups come together and enjoy meeting new friends and making memories together.
