meet brooklynn
I’m Brooklynn Beard! I grew up in the beautiful mountains of East Tennessee where I was constantly enjoying the great outdoors. My love for travel began when I took my first trip out of the US to spend a summer studying abroad in Italy. I was instantly hooked and have been planning constant getaways ever since! I’m a diverse traveler and enjoy a unique glamping or tree house experience just as much as an amazing 5-star resort (Although, my husband would have me sleeping in a hammock if he had his way). My friends and family would tell you that spontaneous travel is my love language. I’m the go-to-girl for last minute travel plans and a good adventure.
It’s a dream come true to be able to share the world with others and help people travel to places they wouldn’t be able to go, otherwise! I love booking multi-stop trips, honeymoons, and jungle escapes.
Most memorable travel experiences to date?
My Husband and I did Peru over New Years. Cusco threw an incredible New Years Eve celebration and we visited Machu Picchu on New Years Day. We were mesmerized by the Incan culture and all of the history at Machu Picchu.
Our honeymoon in Bocas del Toro, Panama left us in awe after riding a motorcycle over every inch of Isla Colon. We stayed in an overwater bungalow on our own private island! It was so dreamy. We did a bioluminescence tour and swam in the ocean in the middle of the night!
3-Day Trek in Chiang Mai, Thailand which included staying in a remote village that did not have electricity. I spent the evenings playing soccer with the kids, braiding hair, and completely slowing down. I left there with such gratitude. Not to mention the Elephant Sanctuary which was a lifelong dream of mine.
Best Friend Trip to the Philippines for a special 27th birthday! Island hopping, ziplining, canyoneering, waterfall jumping, stunning sunsets - we had the best time! It was weeks before everything shut down for COVID so we were incredibly grateful for a big trip right before lockdown.
Where do you dream of traveling next? Up next, I’m hoping to check off a lifelong bucket list item of seeing the Northern Lights. An African Safari and Greece Island Hopping Adventure are hopefully coming soon!
What attracts you to travel somewhere? Definitely culture and natural beauty! I love finding characteristics that make different areas unique, whether it be the local food, people, traditions, or one-of-a-kind scenery.
What is your very first travel memory? Seeing NYC for the first time! We rode the train in from New Jersey and when we came out of Penn Station my eyes filled with tears. The city lights were the most beautiful thing I had ever seen and it is a moment I will never forget.
Favorite hotel? Nayara Bocas del Toro at the moment! Your own private island, and overwater bungalow - a dream!
What’s on your travel playlist? Bazzi, Surfaces, and Quinn XCII.
