Thoughtfully designed international journeys for families with

OUR EXPERIENCE
Why the Right
Family Trip Matters
The best trips do more than take your family somewhere beautiful. They create the kind of shared experiences that stay with you long after you’ve unpacked. At Elated Escapes, I design custom international journeys that make travel feel easier, more meaningful, and more rewarding, especially for families with older kids and multigenerational groups.

HOW WE WORK
We Make It Easy
Travel planning shouldn’t feel stressful. It should feel exciting.
We make it easy with personalized, concierge-style service that takes the pressure off from the very beginning.
It all starts with a discovery call, where we get to know your family, your travel style, and the kind of trip you want this season of life to hold. If we’re a good fit, we collect a planning fee, and then the fun begins. Behind the scenes, we craft a custom itinerary tailored to your family’s pace, priorities, and style. From there, we collaborate with you to refine every detail until it feels just right.
When it’s time to travel, everything is in place, and we’re here to support you if anything unexpected comes up.

ABOUT US
Hi! I’m Meaghan
I specialize in custom international travel for families who want something more thoughtful than a one-size-fits-all vacation. I work especially often with families with older kids and multigenerational groups, designing journeys that feel seamless, meaningful, and memorable.
As a luxury family travel advisor, I help clients create custom international journeys that reflect their family’s pace, priorities, and interests from beginning to end.
As both a travel advisor and the mother of two college-aged kids, I understand firsthand how much family travel changes at this stage of life and how rewarding it can be when it’s thoughtfully designed. My approach goes far beyond logistics. With deep destination knowledge, trusted global partnerships, and a highly personalized planning process, I help families choose the right destinations, the right hotels, and the right rhythm for a trip that feels effortless once they’re inside it.
I’ve been featured as a travel expert in publications including Travel + Leisure, CNN, USA Today, and The New York Times, and my travel and lifestyle writing has appeared in magazines ranging from GLAMOUR to VIA, AAA’s travel magazine. Read more here.

“What can I say about our trip to Africa?? It was absolutely a dream. Every detail was so thoughtfully planned that all we had to do was enjoy and make lasting memories. Our time on safari was hands-down the best part — even our guide and tracker said we were incredibly lucky to spot every member of the Big Five (multiple times, including babies!) in only one day. We came home with over 5,000 photos! Other highlights? The cheetah experience, the Elephant Whispers experience, and the Care for Wild sanctuary experience. As passionate animal lovers, these experiences deeply moved us — and even inspired us to get more involved. Our son had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to assist with a baby rhino’s medical care. The baby, named Hercules, had been severely injured by hyenas. It was one of those rare, powerful connections that we’ll never forget. We couldn’t have done any of this without your help, and we’re truly thankful that you made this one of our favorite trips ever!”
