about me

Hi, I’m Becca

The person behind Wanders & Wink, professional overthinker of travel details, and someone who genuinely loves the planning part.

In my free time, you’ll find me reading restaurant reviews for cities I haven’t visited yet, scrolling Reddit threads for hidden gems, and zooming way too far into hotel photos to figure out what’s real. I’ve traveled throughout Thailand and Vietnam, visited every state in the US, cried actual tears the first time I saw a wild sloth in Costa Rica, and will never turn down a sunset margarita on a beach in Mexico. Food and drink are a huge part of how I experience a place, and I believe the right meal, the right hotel, and the right pacing can completely change how a trip feels.

These days, I travel with my husband and our kid in tow, which means I deeply understand how to plan trips that feel magical for adults and fun for kids without sacrificing everything you love. I know how to build itineraries for couples, and I know how to build itineraries for couples who also need playground breaks and early dinners.

My Mission

To help people experience travel that actually feels like a vacation. No overpacked itineraries, no endless tabs, no generic plans. Just trips that feel like they were designed for your real life.

My Values

There is no one-size-fits-all itinerary. Some people want beach and margaritas. Some want museums and food tours. Some want slow mornings and early nights because they’re traveling with kids. All of it is valid. My job is to build around your version of a great trip.

How I Plan

I will never recommend something I haven’t researched thoroughly or experienced personally. If I’ve been there, I’ll tell you. If I haven’t been there yet, I’ll tell you that too. But either way, I plan every trip with the same care and attention I’d give my own.

I don’t do generic itineraries. I don’t copy and paste. And I don’t believe in sending people to places just because they’re trendy on Instagram.
I care about what actually makes sense for you.

What You Can Expect Working With Me

You can expect honest opinions over polished sales pitches, recommendations that actually fit your life, and someone paying attention to the details most people miss. I’m in your corner before the trip, during it, and after.

A Few Things To Know

I’m a advanced independent travel advisor affiliated with Fora Travel, which gives me access to vetted partners, industry tools, and perks that help elevate your experience when possible. I also believe in transparency. Some links on my site may be affiliate links, and I always disclose that.

If that sounds like the kind of help you’ve been looking for, I’d love to hear about your trip.
