hi!

My name is Megan, but my friends call me Meegz. I am a toddler mom, an RN & a certified travel advisor with Fora Travel. Creating experiences that allow others to explore the world is truly my biggest passion & I have so much gratitude for every single journey that I am a part of. Travel looks different for everyone & I am here to create a personalized planning experience that meets you exactly where you are. I am looking forward to becoming your ultimate partner in creating unforgettable journeys!

my story

I didn't grow up an avid traveler. I grew up in a small, rural town in South Carolina & actually didn't even set foot on a plane until I was 16 years old. The second I went abroad for the first time, I was hooked. I didn't know where life was going to take me at the time, but I knew that I had to be able to include traveling in that journey. Fast forward a few years (like 15), I have held true to the promise that I made myself to keep traveling & to grow my passion for the learning the world. Now, I get to help others explore it also.

Through nursing school, grad school, & growing a family with my incredible husband, travel has been a massive part of my life. Through all of these phases of life, I have learned that it is ok to redefine travel to be exactly what you need it to be at that time. Becoming a travel advisor has given me the ability to share that mentality and help my clients do just that.

I have planned all of my own trips after that very first trip to London at 16 and found myself falling in love with the puzzle of it all. How can I take a place that I have never been before and figure out the best way to optimize x amount of time there? How can I can experience the main sites but also some hidden gems, have unique experiences & immerse myself in the culture without running myself ragged? Before long, I had a system down and it proved itself to be a good one over & over again.

Friends, family members & even just acquaintances starting asking me who planned my trips for me & it became even more apparent that I was doing something right. From there, I continued to plan trips for not only myself, but also for friends & family & became the go-to in the friend group for all things travel related. I knew that I wanted to make travel a bigger part of my life but I had no idea how.

Fast forward again to February 2023 and an opportunity with an incredible startup, Fora, came into my life & something in me told me resoundingly that I had to take the plunge. Here we are & I am literally living my dream. I still have a career in nursing, but I have also been able to make travel advising such a huge part of my life & I am loving every minute of it.

So, why trust me with your travels?

From hostel hopping through Europe with nothing more than a single backpack to being pampered poolside at a 5 star hotel and everything in between, I have experienced so many types of travel and I love them all. Everyone's travel goals are different and I am not here to morph yours to fit my own. I am here to meet you exactly where you are & help you bring your exact vision to life. I take a holistic approach to travel planning (as cheesy as that may sound) & have a deep understanding of the small details that really take a trip to the next level. Travel has given me things in my life that are so much bigger than words can even really express & helping to bring that those same kinds of experiences is my ultimate goal.

Thank you for joining me in this journey! Whether you're a seasoned adventurer chasing your next adrenaline rush or you've never set foot outside of your hometown & are ready to spread your travel wings, let's team up and embark on an unforgettable journey together!
