The Secret is Out- The Miles We Keep is Expanding
March 3, 2026
If you’ve noticed things have been a little quieter around here lately… there’s a reason.
Drumroll, please…
I’m officially certified as a travel advisor through Fora.
This has been in the works for a little while now, and I’ve been intentionally heads down: learning, building, refining, and preparing for this next chapter of The Miles We Keep. While I will continue running my own business under this name, I now have access to Fora’s global partnerships, preferred hotel programs, and corporate-level perks. And ultimately, that changes the game for you.
What does that actually mean?
It means I can pair the heart behind The Miles We Keep with the muscle of a global travel network. Think VIP amenities at incredible hotels. Complimentary breakfast. Resort credits. Early check-in or late checkout when available. Preferred partnerships that unlock value and elevated experiences you typically can’t access on your own. It means your trip isn’t just well planned; it’s thoughtfully curated and professionally supported from start to finish.
But this isn’t just about perks.
It’s about possibility.
I can help plan anything from a first-time solo female traveler’s reflective journey through Southeast Asia… to a romantic long weekend tucked away somewhere magical… to a milestone birthday or anniversary celebration on a cruise in the Caribbean. It’s honeymoons. It’s sabbaticals. It’s surprise getaways. It’s “we need this” escapes. And everything in between.
Getting here took intention. Over the past few months, I completed roughly 30 hours of certification coursework, diving into hotel partnerships, supplier relationships, itinerary design, travel protections, and industry systems. I wanted to do this the right way. I wanted to understand the backend so your experience on the frontend feels seamless.
But truthfully, my greatest education didn’t happen in a course portal.
It happened in airports. On delayed flights. In missed connections and rebooked itineraries. In magical hotels that exceeded expectations and in places that taught me what to look for next time. It happened in navigating unfamiliar cities and in learning how to pivot when plans changed.
Travel has a way of shaping you; not just in where you go, but in how you move through the world.
And that’s my why.
Travel has stretched me, grounded me, surprised me, and reminded me how expansive life can be. There is something sacred about stepping into a new place; hearing a different language, tasting flavors you can’t quite describe, realizing how big the world is and how connected we all are within it.
The Miles We Keep was never just about points or itineraries. It has always been about experience. About presence. About the stories you carry long after you’ve unpacked your suitcase.
The trips fade. The feeling doesn’t.
And now, I get to help you create more of those moments with better access, stronger partnerships, and the professional foundation to support them.
So if you’ve been sitting on an idea… that solo trip you’ve been overthinking, the romantic getaway you keep saying you’ll plan “soon,” the celebration that deserves more than a dinner reservation… consider this your sign.
The miles aren’t just traveled. They’re transformed into stories.
Let me help you create the ones you’ll keep forever.
