Meet your Travel Designer: Abby Glaysher, CTC

Welcome, fellow travel enthusiasts! I’m so excited to have you here on my travel blog. My passion for travel began back in high school when my mom signed me up for a soccer “camp” in Italy, led by coaches from UC Berkeley and Duke University. Little did I know, that trip would mark the start of my love for travel, combining two of my favorite things: staying active through soccer and discovering new places and cultures.

These experiences deepened my love for travel and taught me the value of immersing myself in new cultures, sampling local food, and connecting with people from all walks of life……………………
