Abbay is a travel advisor, entrepreneur, and CPA. After earning a degree and a Master’s in accounting at the University of Alabama, Abbay began her career as a CPA. This led her to a work placement living abroad in New Zealand for several years. After spending 6 years in the corporate world, followed by taking a gap year to travel around the globe, Abbay knew she wanted to make a career of helping others travel, so she founded Abbay’s Escapes!
Because Abbay knows how powerful travel can be, designing and planning custom trips for her clients is a privilege that she never takes lightly or for granted. From bucket-list trips to honeymoons and everything in between, she is honored to help look after these special moments in the utmost detail.
Abbay draws from her extensive personal travels along with her strong network of global connections to craft bespoke and authentic experiences around the world.
When Abbay isn’t traveling or planning travel, you can find her playing with her son or doing things outside like hiking, paddle boarding, or relaxing on a beach. She also likes power yoga and strong coffee. Her husband is English, and her son is a dual citizen, so they split their time between Alabama and England.
“I love nothing more than sharing insider knowledge with my clients, whether it’s a great local cafe or how to find secret beaches and waterfalls.”

Abbay's Testimonials
We just returned from a lovely, action-packed trip to Morocco. This was the second trip that we’ve booked through Abbay, and it was equally as amazing as the first. Because we were repeat clients, Abbay was able to better incorporate our travel interests and pace into the agenda, which made it more fun and even easier for her to help us plan this one. While we came to the table with ideas, Abbay helped tap into our interests and offered exclusive activities and fun ideas to help us make the most of the trip! She’s attentive, responsive, resourceful and overall great at making a special trip even more special. We highly recommend her!

Abbay's Testimonials
Abbay did an excellent job curating our trip to Scotland and Ireland to visit key spots connected to our ancestry. The hotel accommodations were all fantastic. Our drivers and tour guides went above and beyond throughout the entire trip. This was a once in a lifetime trip for our family, and we would not have trusted anyone other than Abbay to plan this trip.
