Hi, I'm Emilie- the founder of Happily Away, a passionate travel advisor and someone who believes the best memories are made while exploring the world.

Travel has shaped my life in countless ways. Over the past 15 years, my husband, Chris, and I have explored 25 countries together. Some of our favorite moments haven't been the famous landmarks, they've been the tucked-away cafés, the unforgettable conversations with locals, and the experiences we never would have found in a guidebook. Those moments are what inspire the way I plan travel for my clients.

I created Happily Away in 2021 because I believe travel should feel personal. Every itinerary I design is thoughtfully tailored to your interests, travel style, and pace, not pulled from a template or generated by an algorithm. Whether you're planning a once-in-a-lifetime European adventure, a luxury honeymoon, a multi-generational family vacation, or simply a weekend escape, my goal is to create a journey that feels uniquely yours.

As a Fora Travel Advisor, I combine personalized service with access to an exceptional network of hotel and travel partners around the world. That means I can often provide exclusive perks, VIP amenities, preferred rates, and special experiences that aren't available through traditional online booking sites. More importantly, you'll have a real person advocating for you before, during, and after your trip.

The greatest compliment I receive is when clients tell me their trip exceeded every expectation. That's always my goal.

I believe the best vacations aren't measured by how many places you see, they're measured by how they make you feel long after you've returned home. I'd be honored to help you create your next unforgettable journey.
