Alyssa Schulke's passion for travel stems back to her roots in Northern Minnesota. A self-professed geography geek, Alyssa's love of foreign languages and cultures always had her wondering about what was 'out there'. It wasn't long before Alyssa was off to see the world. In her years of travel, Alyssa has lived in London, been scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef, experienced an authentic Japanese tea ceremony in an elder's home in rural Japan, and driven down the dusty country roads of Sweden to find her ancestors' hometowns. "I want my clients to feel like their needs and desires are met as soon as we start planning their trip. From the point they step foot outside their home to the moment they return, I want to strike the perfect balance between 'this experience is exactly what I'd hoped it would be' and 'what a pleasant surprise!'"

Alyssa most recently worked in the corporate world for over ten years as a strategy consultant and eBusiness expert. She relies on years of experience managing high-profile projects and relationships when working with her travel clients. Communication, thorough research, attention to detail and documentation are key. Travel should be stress-free, and Alyssa's focus on communication and planning makes sure that's the case.

Always memorable, and always stress-free, Alyssa's trips provide the opportunity to experience a place and culture in a fresh way. Whether it's an unforgettable meal, a life-changing brush with nature, or the experience of being somewhere few people have been, Alyssa loves helping her clients get there.
